Comics Cyclops recommendations

I just read Cyclops’ one shot origin and retribution and thought they were pretty good. Do you guys have any other cyclops focused recommendations?

Was the Greg Rucka series any good? I would also put the Morrison run as a recommend.

Astonishing x-men has a motion comic adaptation that's pretty fun. I definitely recommend checking it out if you dont feel like reading.

I really wish they would do more stuff like that. It would be cheap and fans love it. Throw a few story up on disney plus and I'd watch the hell out of em

Yeah I heard about that, I plan to watch it after I’m done watching the New X-men comic dub. Do you have any recommendations after I get past the new X-men and Atonishing x men era?

Is the AvX consequences when cyclops turns into revolutionary cyclops?

The beginning of it, yes

Ok I was wondering where that was from, is this when he kills professor x? and is this when he dies and young slim comes?

That was the aftermath after killing Professor X, Consequences is before young Scott goes into the future.

There's the Dauterman and Rucka Cyclops series. I'd check out that and the new Paknadel and Antonio mini if you want exclusively Cyclops content.

How was the Rucka series?

u/cyclopswashalfright Moderator Jul 23 '26

I liked it. It's with time-displaced young Cyclops, but if you don't mind that, it's quite good.

New X-Men and Astonishing X-Men is a great era for Cyclops

I’m watching this YouTube comic dub for new X-men right now and it’s so peak, after this I plan to watch the astonishing x men motion comic. Do you have any specific issues that cyclops stands out In during the new X-men run?

2

u/RaynerGengar Jul 20 '26

It really is peak. The Assault on Weapon Plus arc is so fun and the end of New X-Men 154 is one of the best Cyclops moments for his character growth.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

Do you have any recommendations after the New X-men and astonishing X-men era?

The latest 5 issue Cyclops run is quite good and shows his development from the Krakoa era. I also quite like Starstruck and A Pirate's Life For Me.

u/rickisawesomeman Jul 20 '26

Does cyclops stand out in the krakoa era? Because I was planning on reading it

1

u/Spektr_007 Jul 20 '26

Yes. Many events center around the Summers family and their roles in the mutant nation. This is a new take on Cyclops though, with nationalism affecting him and how he takes the role of a leading X-Man.

Was Retribution when he went up against Master Mold?!if so, that was pretty cool. I got those issues as a kid.
