Notes suggest this is from Green Arrow and Black Canary #4, although it looks like the work of the artist doing the current DCnU solo title.

I'll recheck when I'm in the condensing phase.

It's from the issue when Ollie brought Connor to the hospital, and the League rallied around Ollie and Dinah. I think that's the right number, though.

Thanks.

Say, P.R., can you direct me to where I might quickly find the answer to my X-Men question, posed earlier in the following thread?

(Your name was specifically mentioned as go-to person, which, given who you say your favorite character is, makes considerable sense ...)

I'll try to keep it brief, as it's a Wonder Woman thread.

For the breakdown of the Cyclops and Jean marriage, your best bet is to read New X-Men 114 - 154.

Link to first issue: http://marvel.wikia.com/New_X-Men_Vol_1_114

Bullet points:

After the arc "The Twelve" Cyclops is lost out in the world with Apocalypse's consciousness inside his mind, fighting for control. He spends weeks/months alone, but is eventually saved by Jean and Cable, but not without lasting damage being done. Apocalypse's influence left Cyclops more... Realistic, and more honest, in a way.

Fearing that Jean wouldn't like the "new him" Cyclops withdrew from her, and Jean's either inability or unwillingness to confront the issue led to them growing apart.

When Genosha is wiped out, with millions of mutants wiped out, Emma Frost comes to live at the school.

Over the course of the run, Cyclops begins getting therapy from Emma Frost. She falls for him, and the two begin a "psychic" affair (though it should be noted that at around the same time, Jean (who was beginning to manifest the Phoenix again) made a move on Logan only to be rebuffed).

Jean finds out about Scott and Emma, flips stuff, and Cyclops is made to choose between both women. Before he can reveal his choice, Magneto attacks New York (I think it was New York), and the X-Men battle him. Jean is killed. At her funeral, Emma tells Scott that they need to rebuild. Scott says no, and quits the X-Men.

In the future, a bunch of stuff basically culminated in the world going to hell, all because Cyclops didn't stay with the X-Men. So White Crown Phoenix Jean changes history, and at the grave, where Cyclops had told Emma he quit, he is instead mentally "nudged" in to staying with the X-Men, and of course, staying with Emma.

That's as brief as I could make it, and tbh, I left a lot out. I really do recommend the series though. It's excellent.

I was joking when I said ask him

I didn't actually use personal messaging to make this particular request of him, though. I only do that when I feel there is something reasonably important to ask him that doesn't strike me as quite appropriate to ask by standard public means owing to his position, etcetera. I figured the route I chose here would be the least intrusive that still actually got me the specific information I was looking for.

At any rate, P.R. WAS kind enough to answer and DID turn out to be the right person to ask, so, thanks for the advice!

Why are we discussing X-Men in a Wonder Woman respect thread?
