I'm looking forward to that. More Scott Summers is always a good thing.

I'm a bit curious, but does anyone have any expectations for Scott this year. We know he's creating a new team that will be revealed about halfway into the year, but anyone have any other expectations?

I was honestly a Hickman defender expecting Cycops to get a bigger role after XoS but now that we know the big setup was just him building a x-men team has really hindered my excitement. I'd be fine with it if his X-Men book only focused on Cyclops and Jean buidling the team, but we know the book will continue to move around with different characters.
I guess my only hope is Cyclop's new team getting their own book where we can get some actua character development.
That stuff has hardly been referenced since the first few months, so I'm surprised that's stopped you from reading.
We all believed that Cyclops on X-Men written by Hickman would mean he would be in the center of things, when actually just means he would be standing next to whatever characters is at the center of things that month.
My prediction is that after the team is formed, Cyclops will remain with the same role he had so far, cameoing. The X-Men team will be around doing stuff, we just won't see it, except for the data pages about it. X-Men will continue to be the word building book, that's Hickman whole thing, we just have to hope that another writers takes interest in using Cyclops, Jean for example, apparently Percy wants to keep using her in X-Force, so while she may be out of the team, she will still be on the book.
Cyclops, apparently only interest Duggan, but just in the role of Dad Who Gives Advices.
I don't expect him to do much until after the hellfire gala and the new X-Men team gets formed. X-Men 17 seems to be focusing on Ororo and 18-19 is going to be all about The Children of The Vault. Unless the new team gets its own book I don't expect Scott to have more screen time. He seems to be a character that the other writers are not very interested in or Hickman does not want anyone else to use him similar to Sunspot, Cannonball, Moira etc.

Yeah, it all felt rather anticlimactic. The new team isn't a terrible idea, but he seems to be lacking an arc and character development. I like that Hickman is writing him rather heroic, I just wish Scott would do more. He has yet to use his strategic genius effectively which makes his role as captain commander feel redundant to a certain extent. At least for me that is.
Well, the odds are high for a writer to tear it down for drama. I just hope that when it does happen, Scott isn't thrown under the bus like he normally is. Ideally, no one should be at fault, but considering Marvel's past, someone will. I just hope it won't be Scott once again. That's the last thing he needs these days.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
