X-Men: The (fan fic) Series

Is it just me or does Irving draw Magneto like Christopher Lloyd?

Uncanny Resemblance aside, we move back to Cyclops’ new school with the Cuckoo’s and Angel in tow… just in time for Magik to lose control.

I’m not really up on Magik’s back story with Limbo though I know there is a lot of bad blood there. Considering her powers are broke like the rest of the Phoenix Five, it’s not surprising that her history is coming back to haunt her.

I like how Scott is done here, he really does care about Magik and is worried about what’s happening to her, both for the sake of herself and his team. This matches up wonderfully to how Bendis is writing young Scott’s character. They are both leaders who do actually give a damn and aren’t meglomaniacs. Bendis is really giving something for the “Cyclops Was Right” camp to sink their teeth into.

Not sure though what I think of the Scott romance angle though. In All-New X-Men, Jean is all jealous of Mystique’s relationship with young Scott though there really isn’t anything to worry about there. In Uncanny X-Men, it seems Tempus has developed a school-yard crush on old Scott which did not sit well with Emma even though Scott would never look at Tempus as more than a student (or one would hope, I know Scott has had a bad track record what with cheating on his wives but never with girls WAY to young for him… and Tempus is not even a telepath).

Oh well, still better than what’s going on with Alex Summers’ love-life in Uncanny Avengers.

Lastly, I never cared much for the Cuckoo’s, but the way they put the smack down on the other boys… nice…
