Sketches and Stuff: Cyclops
July 31, 2011X-Men is (probably) my favorite comic book. Always has been. Sure, I haven't been a regular reader since college but I've made an effort to keep up with my mutant homies by reading articles online and... you know, other stuff. *cough* downloadingdigitalcomics *cough*
The X-books' latest major story arc, X-Men: Schism, is upon us. All I know about it is 1) the shit is about to hit the fan and the muties are screwed, 2) the team is going to be split in two, and 3) there's a rumor Cyclops might not make it out of Schism alive. Which kinda sucks, really. While he may not be my favorite X-man, I have grown to like him over the years. If these speculations are true, it would definitely be sad to see him go.
Anyway, here is my take on the character. This is based on Adi Granov's badass cover for X-Men Origins: Cyclops.

Dude, great job! Please make a version of this with the Cassaday design of the suit (which I think was the best one) make it into iPhone 4 resolution, and let's pimp that shit on Reddit!
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to see how things go if Cyclops dies and Jean Grey comes back. Hints have been dropped regarding Hope and a potential Jean Grey return next year. Or maybe I'm reading too much into the "green eyes and red hair" hint that's being thrown around.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
But then, after a few years, turns out the Scott who died was actually a descendant from the future, who was brainwashed by Apocalypse for some evil plan. That, or a Skrull substitute.
