"New Astonishing X-Men writer Greg Pak has explained his decision to explore the romantic side of Storm and Cyclops&amp;#039;s relationship. The Incredible Hulk scribe will begin writing duties on the series next month alongside artist Mike McKone, and promised the teaser depicting Cyclops and Storm kissing is not entirely misleading. &amp;quot;Storm and Cyclops have huge grounds for bonding over shared experiences, but they also have a great, contentious history together,&amp;quot; Pak told Newsarama. &amp;quot;But as far as I know, there hasn&amp;#039;t been much done to explore any potential romantic tension between the two.&amp;quot; The writer also confirmed that Astonishing X-Men will take place post-Schism, after the recent split of the X-Men between Wolverine and Cyclops. &amp;quot;Astonishing may be the only book on the stands where you can see characters from both sides of the split on the same pages,&amp;quot; Pak explained. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re also absolutely exploring the emotional fallout of Schism on Cyclops in particular.&amp;quot; Pak confirmed the new Astonishing X-Men story arc will run for four issues, but did not elaborate on whether he will stay with the title beyond this short tenure. Astonishing X-Men #44 will be published on November 23. &amp;gt; Christos Gage takes over &amp;#039;Astonishing X-Men&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
