Cyclops Joins The Team In ‘Champions’ #2 [Preview]

Champions #2, by Mark Waid and Humberto Ramos, features Cyclops joining a team that doesn't start with "X" for the first time ever. To be clear, this is the young Cyclops who came to the present in All-New X-Men, not the older Cyclops who as far as we know is dead. But either way, Scott Summers is a character inseparable from the X-Men, and now he's going to be a Champion instead.

If you read Champions #1, you already know why he would seek the team out. In fact, they kind of made it seem like a lot of young superheroes would, although Cyclops is the only one in the promo art who has yet to join. He doesn't show up in the two preview pages at all, and in fact it's kind of hard to understand what's going on in them, but the Hulk's campfire cooking plan is still pretty fun.

Champions #2 is out November 2. In addition to the regular cover by Ramos, it features variants by Mike McKone, Michael Choi, Pascal Campion, and John Tyler Christopher.
