!!!!!!SECRET WARS SPOILERS!!!!!!!
So, Cyclops is my favorite character. And with the newly announced line-up of post-SW titles, he is no where to be seen. We've heard that he'll be "missing" for "a while" and we saw in Secret Wars #4 that he was killed by Dr. Doom. Now, sure, the Phoenix Force could bring him back to life and on some level I still have to figure that's how the post-SW universe is created.
But, right now I simply don't trust the creative direction at Marvel to give me want I'm looking for with my favorite character. As we've seen with the mutant revolution, and as I fear we may see with the Phoenix Force, when Marvel wants to thrust a new, big, shiny event on us, or grab headlines in some way, they are all too happy to toss long-arcing plots right out the window. "Whatever was going to happen, wrap it up fast, we have big rebranding 'events' to push!" Like, maybe that was it for Scott and the Phoenix Force? Maybe it was just Marvel showing that, quite literally, the X-Men are "dead" in terms of their current focus. So maybe all this Phoenix Egg stuff was just a(nother) false start - stringing fans along while Marvel's real concern was elsewhere.
So, maybe I actually want 616 Cyclops to die after SW? It already looks like Marvel thinks a time-displaced Scott from the 1960s is a reasonable substitute, so, who knows? Maybe I'll be happier just letting the Cyke I know and love Rest in Peace and I'll read All New X-Men with absolutely zero expectations and not be disappointed when it isn't any good =P ...pretty sad that's where I'm at with Marvel now. I'm HOPING to expect so little that I can't be let down by garbage. =P I'm HOPING for my favorite character to be laid to rest.
I know there are a lot of Cyclops lovers (and haters) on this board, so, what do you think? I'm not so much asking about what you think will happen (although that's interesting too) but I'm more interested in what you WANT to see happen.
