There is an oft-repeated belief that Cyclops was the villain of the Revolution era of X-Men comics—the period mostly written by Brian Michael Bendis that includes Uncanny X-Men volume 4, All New X-Men, and to a lesser extent, Jason Aaron’s Wolverine and the X-Men. That belief is wrong. The transition from Gillen X-Men to Bendis X-Men happens by way of one of Marvel’s annual editorially-mandated Summer(s) events, in this case Avengers vs. X-Men.

——————————————————————————————————It is often said that Watchmen is the most influential comic ever to be released. That comics wouldn’t be where they are without it, for good and for ill. But how did we get here, exactly? More to the point, just what influence did Watchmen provide to the larger world of comics? What, ultimately, is the legacy of Watchmen? Who watched the Watchmen? Rebirth hadn’t yet happened. Doomsday Clock was not a thing. Rorschach and the Watchmen TV show didn’t exist.

There is a great lie about Watchmen. They repeat the lie over and over again, pretending it says a lot, when it says very little. It is not a lie of malice, but a lie of ignorance. It is a lie predicated on omission of truth. It is a lie that only emerges when one understands history. It is a meaningless statement presented as meaningful to those who don’t know better. It is the first lie of American comics that every new reader is confronted with, when surveying the scene of the superhero.

You’ve heard the word. You know the story. Crisis. The iconic, defining, definitive word of DC stories. The word Crisis feels inseparable from the fabric of DC. It holds sway over its past, it informs its present, and it will certainly influence the future. You can’t think of DC and not think of Crisis at some point. The very idea of it has been bound to the very idea of DC that tightly. And the response to the word and its invocation is intense as well. It comes with a lot of assumptions and baggage.
