The Story
The Reavers are on the loose and they’ll stop at nothing! The Reaver, Tearjerker, doesn’t care who he hurts, even if it’s someone on his own team, to get what he wants. He’s on the hunt for Cyclops, and with his new additions to his weapons, courtesy of his dead teammate, Endzone, there’s no end to his chaos. Meanwhile, Mei and Scott Summers, AKA Cyclops, have been walking for hours to find the crashed Quinjet that has another pair of Scott’s ruby glasses in them. Without them, Scott is completely blind as he can’t open his eyes without leveling a mountain.
Something I really enjoyed about this issue was when we saw Scott help Mei with her mental block that was stopping her from using her mutant powers. According to Mei, she is unable to use her strength when she’s scared, but Scott shows her a trick to stop that self-induced psychic attack. It was a moment of teaching for Scott, and it helped Mei grow as a mutant. With the growing tension between Mei and Scott, it was nice to see him help the young mutant.
By the end of the comic, we see a Scott Summers who isn’t going by any plan or any code, but a mutant who’s a soldier at heart. So much happened in this issue, and it makes me extremely excited to see what happens in Cyclops #4. Alex Paknadel has brought so much excitement and intensity to this story, and the story only gets better with each issue.
The Art
Rogê Antônio, Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, and Joe Caramagna hit all the right notes to make this comic absolutely stunning. Antônio turns the energy up with his excellent drawings, putting us right into the story. There are a lot of different emotions in this issue, and I really appreciate how the characters are able to illustrate the emotions clearly. Sifuentes-Sujo handles the colors and plays off of Antônio’s drawings excellently. We get some really great looks at powersets in action, and they’re colored with vibrancy and excitement, all thanks to Sifuentes-Sujo. Caramagna does an excellent job of giving the dialogue an excellent flow with smooth transitions from different characters. Something I really appreciate is the perfectly timed sound effects that allow the reader to experience the story in a much more involved way.
Final Thoughts
Alex Paknadel keeps the energy high, the story exciting, the will have you wanting more by the end of the comic. Cyclops continues to impress with this third issue!
Overall Grade – 9.1/10
