[QUOTE=phoenixzero23;4720485]That sounds nice.
It is strange, Cyclops has been defined by the X-men for so long, the team has been the center of his life since he was a kid. I struggle to imagine him outside of it. What is Cyclops without the X-men?[/QUOTE]
Well, if HCT hadn't happened, a recluse, an Alaskan fisherman, and a cadaver in that order.

[QUOTE=PsychoEFrost;4720469]Not really. A solo implies character development for the main character. Scott is just the point of view character for the books.[/QUOTE]

If you're going in assuming this is a Scott solo. To this point Hickman has done what he said: this isn't a solo, and the cast changes from book to book. I don't particularly like the voices his characters have or the stories so far, but he hasn't lied yet.

He'd probably just focus on family life afterward.
Also, maybe mentoring the Champions? I'm not sure on what he would do afterward.
Either way, the X-men's fight seems pretty endless in the mean time.

[QUOTE=Ra-El;4720434]Actually he is só inefficient, that the other teams will have to solve the problems. [B]Now, Hal Jordan in The Green Lantern is efficient.[/B]
Cyclops need a solo asap, and Christopher Priest just finished his Deathstroke run, and one thing Prist remembers when writing superheroes ia that the are supposed to be efficient and good in what they do.[/QUOTE]
Oh? Is Green Lantern worth picking up? I kinda bailed once Soranik Natu and the Yellow Lanterns bailed from the book, and I didn't pick up Hal Jordan's book.
[QUOTE=phoenixzero23;4720454]I think a solo would be better than what X-men currently is but what do you think would be the supporting cast?
What would you like Scott to do?[/QUOTE]
A Cyke solo book in the current Dawn of X era, to me, would have him working with non-mutant characters, to be honest.
But otherwise, I'd have either a slice-of-life book (sort-of like what we have now, just not labeled "X-Men") or an Extinction Team 2.0. Speaking of, where's Danger at now? Wasn't she bunking with Lorna the last time she was seen?

She's not a mutant, even if she has the access to Krakoa she's not a citizen of Krakoa. Plus machines may not be welcomed in Krakoa.
A Cyke solo should focus on his Commander duty and training.

No way X-men feels like a Cyke solo, it's just a world building book, creating plots for other works.

Danger is sort-of Xavier's neglected daughter, imo. Would love to see her (and the Extinction Team) return.
And agreed-- X-Men is less Cyke solo and more Cyke-featured. A solo would imply character development for the protagonist. X-Men, for the past 3 issues, is more "hey, look! WORLDBUILD! LET'S SEND CYKE IN!"
Apart from the first issue, we don't see much development from Cyke. He's just kinda... there.
I don't know. I'm really just hoping there's more plot to this book. Otherwise, it's kinda a waste of money. Might as well just buy the other books for the full story and drop this one.

Marauders seems like the book that'll matter the most in DoX.

X-Force thus far has had the most important plot point happen.

True. But Marauders feels like the true flagship of DoX.

Yes! It's Grant Morrison. One of the best things, is that se getso much for issue, something that would take almost an arc in today's comics, Morrison does in one. And is Hall Jordan at his best, imo, Morrison tone down the trouble maker hothead in favor of the "experienced space cop".
What I really want from Cyclops solo is to it be a solo, not line Coates Black Panther where T'Challa if off panel in half the pages and Shuri, Storm and the supporting cast does mostra of the work while Black Panther walks around feeling conflicted.
I want to read something line Daredevil, Wolverine or Deathstroke. Something about the main charactet walk around having adventures and actually be the main character.

I might pick it up, then. I always felt that Geoff John's Hal Jordan and Utopia!Clops were kindred spirits (and then Geoff John's Sinestro and AvX!Clops).

Agreed. If X-Men were to be a Cyke solo book, then actually make it a solo book. Leave the world-building / plot teasers to the other books if that's where it's going to be explored. As things are, I feel I've been spending for a whole lot of nothing / filler. Like, the book isn't bad, but it feels like it's going nowhere, either.
Not good. Not bad. Not even close to great. Just... alright at best. Maybe bland at worst.

So, this is the last time we see Scott in 2019.
What's your best and worst moment of Scott in 2019?
-
I liked him meeting with the champions as an adult. That was the best.
Worst was probably on Rosenberg's run when he was shot in the eye by Hope.

This. Both of them. I'd also add that Rosenbubbles' run is best forgotten.
