Joss Whedon does what Grant Morrison never did, and that is understand the X-Men. Beautiful art by Joohn Cassaday makes this book almost excellent. New villians are shown here and are interesting and uncomplicated without being simple. Really fantastic stuff that whets your appetite for the rest of their run... more

John Cassaday is the star here. His art is ridiculously good here. Whedon's script is good but the villain reveal is dissappointing because JOe Kelly & Steven Seagle did before, just not as good. Overall, still a good read!... more

This book is great. I didn't want to put it down once I started reading it. Joss Whedon is a great storyteller and really gets the characters. Also, did not see the plot twist coming at the end. Hopefully that's not the end of the character. The artist is really great too and I can only think of maybe 2 others that would've brought equal success to the book in terms of artistry, but no matter... more

I was all on aboard for the first two trades from Whedon & Cassaday. Here however, I was taken aback by inclusion of confusion, runarounds, and conflicting ideas. It was all over the place. The only thing keeping the from being rated lower was Cassaday's art. A step back... more

I read the Astonishing X-Men run with much interest. Until now it had good ideas, darn impressive artwork and excellent writing, so if you're a fan of Whedon & Cassaday, you'll be slightly disappointed by this volume.
Ghost Box has an interesting concept behind it (spoiler: parallel universes) and throws in some interesting details about how the X-Men work, like telepathically learning... more

May 31, 2006
Let's start off with my biases: I think seasons 2, 3, and 5 of Buffy are the greatest network television ever made. I'm also a huge fan of the run preceding this book, Grant Morrison's New X-Men. So I really wanted to like Astonishing X-Men.
And for the most part it's solid. The art is pretty enough and the dialogue is fun. The utterly boring villains and the stupid Emma Frost plot... more

I've never watched Buffy. Ive never seen Angel the only reason I've skimmed through Doll House is because Eliza Dushku and never even heard of FireFly till this year. I hate capes, no let me rephrase that despise capes. That being said I picked this up only because my comic book shop begged me to buy it. Boy am i sure glad i did this series single-handedly restored my faith in the comics. Buy this... more

This is sorta a big change from the Whedon-Cassaday AXM, but that's alright in my book because it's Warren Ellis (never mind Bianchi, more on that later).
The storyline revolves around a dead mutant, and Science-head Beast quickly establishes the mutant isn't a "normal Marvel mutie". Joined by Storm (who married Black Panther in a silly move on Marvel's part circa Civil War), everyone's... more
