New York mourns Cyclops

Cyclops was slain very publicly in a plot by the fiendish Doctor Stasis! Hmm, maybe I could get a job writing solicits. Brevoort, holla. I do love that it's Emma who's there to resurrect him and stroke his brow. Jean is off planet, but it's known that they do this on the reg. The secret of Krakoan resurrection protocols must be protected, so the world believes he is truly dead for now.

The Quiet Council forces him to alpha test a battle suit built by Forge intended to protect non-combatants. Using it to pose as CAPTAIN KRAKOA, Scott visits his own memorial at the X-Men's New York treehouse. Duggan really twists the knife here with this devastated child and a wonderfully sincere public memorial. Sure, the Quiet Council or X-Force might have put it on to sell the secret, but there are strangers there weeping over his passing.

Cyclops was this kid's favourite and now he's sad. I really didn't expect this to be honest and it made me emotional. Perhaps it's the soul cruising 'hated and feared'/Cyclops is mutant Hitler stuff the previous decades had been filled with, but I didn't imagine Cyke having fans like this. We've seen them before and he's been on the cover of Rolling Stone, but compared to his previous public death it's night and day. Cyke himself is having some complicated feelings, as you would imagine. What else can he say in a situation like this?

This is a bit more light-hearted. Scott and Synch are chilling in the tree watching Negasonic Teenage Warhead make out with one of her many girlfriends. I love that there's no further analysis of her value as a potential X-Man - Synch thinks that alone means she'll make a fine member one day. I agree and good for her.

It's so sweet of these randos to bake banana bread 'for Cyclops' and give it to ... the first mutant they see? It doesn't get further context so I assume that's the case. I love everyone here - the world needs more love, banana bread, tree sitting, and kindness to strangers. NTW and all the WLW folks should have as many girlfriends as they like - for Cyclops.
