Joss Whedon continues to impress me throughout this series. I won't say much more than that, because your in for a total suprise. It is really hard to find dialogue as valuable as these through the history of comic writing.
Not only is that fun to read, but the Emma Frost revelation made my heart skip a beat. Joss induces a sense of fear within his readers. He touches on deep and interesting subjects, such as Colossus's and Kitty's love.
I feel like I'm watching a grade A science fiction movie, and not a chopped up plotless action movie. The title of the series is the most appropriate for itself. These X-men stories are Astonishing.The humor, action, and suspense hold this thing together strong.
We genuinely fear for these poor X-men. This may be the most dangerous task yet for our X-men.
When I read Astonishing X-men vol. The rest of the run is good, very good, but. 1 ''Gifted'', I was amazed. It was such a great story, with ''astonishing'' art. I just can't explain, it's not a match to the first one. Nevertheless, good read.
I've bought this book becouse the first one was really amazing. Great story and art, great pacing. This volume is good, but not as great as the one before. Worth reading.
The Astonishing X-Men is an intriguing and fun series. I really like the amount of detail put into these graphic novels. Im really loving them. Great writing and great illustrations. The characters have so much depth. Everything about the Astonishing Xmen is great.
Whedon and Cassaday bring amazing character dynamics and development to their second intallment of The Astonishing X Men. Not to bore the hardcore fans of GNs and Comic Books though, the fight scenes are still epic. No relationship is simple, and no one character is a paragon of good or evil, not even some that have traditionally been squeaky clean in the past. Whedon's dialouge is both funny and thought provoking, only one of which seems to be a traditional theme in X Men Comics. Cassaday's art is good for the slow parts, but the drawing for the fights are excellent. So, whether you're looking for a fun comedic romp, a character study, or just a good old rock 'em sock 'em comic book, Astonishing X Men delivers.
