Cyclops is a jerk.

A VS. X makes it clear Cyclops is acting like a total jerk. And I wish it was Out Of Character for him, that some desperate hope Jean will come back is overriding his better judgement. Except it isn't. Cyclops being a jerk is standing operating procedure pretty much since DECIMATION started, if not before.

Greetings True Believers!
Here are a couple scans from the latest issue of this Avengers mini.
I'm conflicted about it.
But DOOM! is always enjoyable.
Enjoy!

With so much ELSE going on, I find it hard for this story to be relevant.
BUT I like the art, so here's the preview, courtesy of ComicBookResources.

Totally not too good to be true.

You know that episode of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog where Sonic and co. develop a de-Roboticizer that frees everybody's loved ones and Sonic gets his uncle back, only for the process to revert at the end because that would be too easy? This issue is like that. Four scans from Avengers: The Children's Crusade #6.

Avengers: Children's Crusade #6 preview

Anyone still remember this?
Newsarama has the preview of Children's Crusage #6, as another group of superpowered youth muck around trying to rescue the Scarlet Witch.
It does lead to interesting reunions.
( When one isn't enough. )

Well, here we are, after admittedly quite a hiatus, with the final repost of my Cheetah series. This overlaps the prior Pfeifer chapter a lot in terms of publish dates, and actually all falls before the Salvation Run stuff as far as the in-universe timeline goes, but chronologically and thematically it's more recent, it's essentially consistent with the most recent Cheetah, and being the take in JLA, it's probably the one that's going to stick with the average fan for a good while regardless of anything Gail might yet do in the Wondy title, so "current" it remains.
Which is depressing, but more in a mildly melancholy way than the frustrating VU stuff or the outright stupid Pfeifer Cheetah. Because while this Cheetah is still clearly of that same ilk, she's at least got some nuance to her beyond the mindless cardboard sociopath, and a bit of a suggestion of what she once was.

I have no further chapters to promo the way I usually do after the cut, but dedicated Cheetah fans, if there are any left after this tremendous fall from grace, may be interested in checking out the current Grand Unified Theory of Cheetahs, which achieves the extraordinary by reconciling all seven chapters of this series into a single coherent character arc by dint of massive unsupportable fanwank.

.... or, "You all can blame
icon_uk for this post."
A long, long time ago, I started The Things Billy Kaplan Is Not Allowed to do as a Young Avenger. It was, much later, reposted on old S_D, and proved mildly amusing to some at least.
What most don't know is that I did two other such lists: Things Anole is Not Allowed to do at Xaviers and Things Decibel is Not Allowed to Do as a New Warrior.
Neither were quite as popular, but I felt likepimping sharing. And it gives me a good excuse to post the scan below the cut.
Edit: Dumb Question: How should we tag Iron Lad?
