REVIEW: Cyclops, #2

[CBR News]

The Corsair's less-than-spotless reputation stirs up a little trouble during the father-son duo's intergalactic road trip in Greg Rucka and Russell Dauterman's "Cyclops" #2.


Full review here.

Got these earlier than I expected and just loved them. I agree with this review. Whatever Rucka writes at Marvel from here on out, I'll give it a try.

Agreed with the review.

Nothing negative to say about this issue. Art of course phenomenal and blends perfectly with the story. Rucka really does a great job capturing the voices of each character. I want to say that is his biggest strength. Tyke sounds like a 16 year old. He has a degree of shyness, but stands up and fights hard when needed all while dressing like a complete dork. Corsair is perfect. It has a happy charm to it but at the same time, putting the darker elements to make the situation serious.

yep, this is probably my favorite Marvel book right now. Who would have EVER guessed that?

[Fokken]

This book is BOSS.

I'd been out of comics for a bit (the stuff I was reading, the last X-Factor run, Avengers Academy and the Legion of Super-Heroes, had all been cancelled), but this seems to have sucked me back in!

I thought I'd escaped, and here some yahoo is writing a story that has characterization, and is both fun and entertaining?! What gives? I thought that was against the rules or something!

I dont believe it. I refuse to believe a solo teen-Cyclops-from-the-60's-costarring-Corsair is one of their top books.
Refuse!

This is certainly one of those books that from the title and the premise you would pass over. But I am already hooked and can already tell that this will build into a very satisfying volume (or hopefully many volumes).

For anyone in two minds, the recent podcast episode of "Rachel and Miles Explain the X-Men" (#7) contains an excellent interview and related chat with Greg Rucka, which certainly has me excited by the possibilities of this comic.

On a more general note, modern Doctor Who seems to have redefined Marvel Cosmic: there is a joyful exploration and a playful use of character archetypes that I don't remember seeing in previous decades.

Yup, loved the issue. Nice to see a good father & son relationship in comic, and an X-Men comic to boot!
