Fuck this. We went 10 yrs with Jean gone, and Cyclops at the helm and creators can't even wait a full year of the X-Matriarchs running shit before they bring him back? I was honestly looking forward to Jean centric growth stories where we see her face some major events down as Herr Captain, and possible romances agog, but I guess Scott just can't let her have anything to herself.
We've had X matriarchs since secret wars ended, and it's pretty meh tbh. . . Sales wise it's underwhelming . . . And scott isn't not letting jean have anything to herself, scott is an idea, and ideas never die, the world was looking forward to his return and logan's , and xavier's
The ladies' period of prominence and leadership coincided with and ended alongside the reign of Panic over the line. Alas, they never stood a chance against such a foe. 'Tis a tragedy.
they simply wanted to write stories with Cyclops on then, then left. . .
We had Brubaker, Whedon, Fraction, Gillen, Ellis, Bendis and some other pretty awesome writers writing scott prior AvX , hell all of them are A LIST WRITERS and they came and told the stories THEY WANTED TO TELL with a cyclops led X men even tough they probably had editorial breathing at their necks due too creepy movie deals , decimation, wolverine and storm getting shipped to other titles and god knows what else. . . Now they're gone but not forgotten, and honestly except for cullen bunn we haven't got writers of such caliber on the X books, and guess what, bunn is gone. Now we've got some new writers but honestly they don't quite measure up
