quick recap: the X-Men get involved in a planetary war between earth and the alien inhabitants of Breakworld, whose technologies have resurrected the once-dead Colossus as an experiment. the aliens want to off all earth mutants because it is prophesied that their world would be devastated by one - and ironically it turns out to be Colossus himself. pursued by the megalomaniac Warlord Kruun, a de-powered Cyclops buys time for the team by taking them on his own, and last we see, he gets jettisoned from his ship and left for dead in the blackness of space. but these are the guys who resurrect dead people.
oh, and everything was just ensemble acting worthy of Oscars and Emmys.
yeah, so the boy scout is turning out to be a worthier leader than his mentor Professor Chuck.

this stunt even earns the occasional grunt of respect from Logan, who has grudgingly accorded Scott that in those few times the writers get it right. and damn, Joss Whedon gets it right, with his nod to exciting space opera (Firefly/Serenity, anyone?) and last-minute saves.
John Cassaday's art gets dirtier and murkier but he's still #1 in my list.
and yes, its a cliffhanger. hope Whedon and Cassaday stay on for another 24 issues.
