Cyclops #3

Part of Marvel's All-New Marvel NOW! initiative, Cyclops #3 (2014) finds the young Scott Summers face-to-face with a grinning, battle-scarred man in a tense close-quarters confrontation, a glowing orb crackling between their hands as a dark winged creature swoops overhead and a fleet of spacecraft fills the distant sky. Alexander Lozano's painted cover crackles with energy, capturing the chaos of a space-faring adventure that feels equal parts dangerous and thrilling. With Greg Rucka writing and Russell Dauterman on art, this series is proving to be one of 2014's more compelling looks at Scott Summers finding his footing — and his fists — among the stars.
