Cyclops #1
In "Odyssey Chapter One: If Looks Could Kill," Cyclops takes a rare break from his duties, heading home to Anchorage, Alaska on his motorcycle—only for a blizzard to strand him at a remote motel. There, he’s ambushed by Black Tom and the Juggernaut, hired by the enigmatic Ulysses to end his life. Written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Mark Texeira, with inks by Jimmy Palmiotti and colors by Transparency Digital, this issue sets a tense, grounded tone as Cyclops faces off against two formidable foes, turning a quiet journey into a fight for survival. The cover, by Mark Texeira and Jimmy Palmiotti, captures the storm-laden isolation of the moment.
