Despite our rumor mongering to the contrary, Marvel has released somewhat definitive proof that Cyclops will not be dead and will have some kind of role in the future of Uncanny X-Men, thanks to a cover image released for Marvel’s November 2011 solicitations.
As the solicit reads for the double-shipped series,
UNCANNY X-MEN #1 & #2

After the Schism, UNCANNY X-MEN starts over at #1. What is to become of Cyclops and the mutants who side with him after the big split? And what does it have to do with the resurrected Mister Sinister? The hottest new writer in the business, Kieron Gillen (THOR) and superstar Carlos Pacheco (X-MEN: SCHISM, ULTIMATE AVENGERS) bring you the biggest and baddest X-Men you’ve ever seen.ISSUE #1 40 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
ISSUE #2 32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
So it would seem that it’s possible Cyclops may still be leading some form of the Uncanny X-Men and not previously assumed/rumored leader Emma Frost. We won’t know until October, though (assuming Marvel doesn’t spill the beans early just to drum up a few extra Schism sales). Everything is up in the air until then.
