Cyclops #1 Kicks Off His First Series in Years With a Bang but It Feels Hollow (Review)

Alex Paknadel wrote this issue, and he does a solid job. He previously honed his skills with the X-Men on Marvel Unlimited and in the Sentinels series, demonstrating a knack for writing many X-Men characters. He’s taking over a challenging role, as even critics of MacKay’s X-Men run acknowledge his strong portrayal of Cyclops. This first issue shows Paknadel clearly understands the character. It starts with a standalone X-Men adventure – similar to the recent Rogue #1 – where the hero uses both leadership and fighting skills to save the day. It’s an enjoyable way to begin this new series.
