Giant-Sized Astonishing X-Men!!!

I don't know about you guys but this book is out now and I can't wait to read it. This has been a very great X-Men title over the years. The only problem was that it was plagued by publishing delays. Joss Whedon (writer) and John Cassaday (artist) really outdid themselves on this book.

Cover to Giant-Sized Astonishing X-Men #1 featuring Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers.

Warren Ellis is writing and the Italian, Simone Bianchi is the new eXtremely talented artist with the upcoming issue 25. The new creative team is great and hopefully the book can go monthly without any more delays. Simone Bianchi is a great artist just what the book needs to keep the momentum. (Just look at his pages below) The initial Astonishing team consisted of:
Armor -- New kid on the x-block
Colossus -- Back from the dead
Cyclops -- Great character but I hate his new costume
Beast -- The most intelligent charismatic beast around
Lockheed -- Kitty's fire breathing, pet dragon
Shadowcat -- Our favorite intellectual, down to earth lovable phaser
Wolverine -- He's on every team in the Marvel Universe by default
The White Queen -- Everybody's favorite female dog







What I'm most looking forward to, excluding a Monthly publication:

Art from Bianchi

Characters -
Storm -- African Queen of Wakanda and the mistress of weather
Nightcrawler -- Finally the elf is back in the spotlight
X-23 -- If it were up to me Wolverine would go and she would fill his space. The redundancy in not necesssary, besides I like her more.
Armor -- I'm looking forward to seeing her evolution as a person and a mutant.

More Bianchi art.
And Please a new Cyclops costume.
