 Cyclops #1 (2014) $5.00 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W/A) Greg Rucka & Dauterman Cyclops just discovered that the father he thought died long ago is alive and well and A SPACE PIRATE. Spinning directly out of ALL-NEW X-MEN, comes the first ongoing solo series for one of the time-traveling Original X-Men. After the events of 'Trial of Jean Grey', Scott Summers stays in space to learn some valuable lessons from his dad: 1) How to shave, 2) How to talk to girls, 3) How to steal a Badoon space-ship. Date Available: 5/07/2014 BONUS REVIEW by Shanna (Berry) Wallace  Nothing better than a Starjammers story!!! Scott joins his ‘ol pops for some fun round the ‘verse, and though he’s running from his problems, spending time with the father he thought he watched perish is much needed for this mixed up sixteen year old boy. I thoroughly enjoyed this issue for what it was: a FUN story filled with my favorite space pirates and an innocent young Scott enjoying every second of the wonders the outer reaches of space has to offer. Take a load off and enjoy the story I never thought I’d get to read! I give it 9 out of 10 Grahams COUNTERPOINT REVIEW:

 "It's not bad". That's the best Cyclops can hope for in his first ongoing series. We'll set the stage: This is young Cyclops, brought forward from the past just after the formation of the X-Men by Beast to learn from the errors of old Cyclops so he doesn't grow up to be the man who kills Charles Xavier. He's united with his father, Corsair (of the Starjammers) who already knows that his son knows he's alive, except THIS age of Scott didn't know which means he's going through all this again with someone who's much younger and in need of a father figure. Simple enough, right? Not if Dad never had to be Dad when Son turned up because he was already a man instead of a boy, with no requirement of parental skills to be able to relate to him, let alone be a mentor, guide, or any other positive thing a parent is supposed to be. Complicated, right? Not if you put them both on a spaceship where they can interact with a bunch of aliens and each other. It's all done pretty ok by writer Greg Rucka, but he's best known for grittier, crime-ier stuff than this so he's not playing to his strengths here. The art by Russel Dauterman is also o.k., with a bit of indy/fantasy flourish in his line work. As a long time StarJammers fan, I have to say that I don't remember Sikorsky talking like Yoda. I do remember that everyone here was more interesting when they were guest appearing in All New X-Men and Guardians of the Galaxy, but that's ok too. I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
