    Default Now & New 52

    Starting in October after Avengers vs X-Men, the Marvel is going to have a relaunch so I am wondering if DC is going lose or gain more fans? Personally I don't think Marvel has to do a relaunch but I am looking forward to Uncanny Avengers & All new X-Men but I think this will make for an interesting Autumn.

    This is wear you will see a big test for DC, I just think that the whole Young Justice line is going to be cancelled with the exception of the Legion books.
    Marvel's new titles look incredible can't say enough about Uncanny Avengers and I hope in all new X-Men we see a young Scott Summers confront the present day Cyclops.

    To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.
    In an alternate universe my parents are Johnny Cash & Lita Ford.

    I'd expect that once teenaged Scott Summers witnesses what he'll become, he'll try to off himself in the hopes of committing murder via time paradox.

    Don't get me started on Scott Summers' Character Derailment.

    Remember when Madelyne Pryor punched Scott for asking her if she was Jean Grey come back from the dead? After being sent sprawling to the floor, Scott thought to himself "That was some punch -- and I deserved it." Why? Because asking her a question like that indicated that he didn't love her for herself but only because she resembled his previous girlfriend.

    Unfortunately, once Jean Grey came back for real, Scott ended up (as I've said before) becoming a jerk who deserts his wife and his child once his old girlfriend is back in town. Once heroic and admirable, his character never did recover from this.

    And unfortunately, it got worse during Morrison's run, when the fanfic crack pairing of Cyclops and Emma Frost got imposed on canon. The last page of Morrison's run, where Scott kisses Emma at Jean's gravesite, left a really bad taste in my mouth.

    I stopped reading the X-books once Decimation occured. Mostly because once such a stupid Diabolus Ex Machina such as Wanda Maximoff just saying 'No more mutants' de-powered most of the mutants, there was really no point. Why bother rooting for the mutants to make progress in their struggles for acceptance if something half-assed and dumb will not only make their hard work pointless but actually make things WORSE? Decimation gave me a case of Darkness Induced Audience Apathy, so I quit the X-books and haven't been back since.

    But from what I hear, Scott Summers went through even more character changes. He's pretty much unrecognizable as the guy who used to be 'the straight arrow' and a contrast to Wolverine.
