The *only* time I have ever seen Cyclops written well was in recent instalments by Grant Morrison and Joss Whedon - and in those Cyke is brittle, psychologically traumatised and isolated, and slowly coming to the realisation that he has never been as special as the man he looks up to (Xavier) has told him he is, nor as fully developed a human as any of the people who surround him. Which is sad, but kind of obvious when you realise that his father is a space pirate who sleeps with a hot raccoon chick. Indeed.

I guess with us fanboy types, the absence of characterisation is not such a big deal because we already *know* what the characters are like. Good to see FF back up again! Now, where's 'The Interpreter' as a zombie splatter flick? Inquiring minds want to know!
