I would once again like to apologize for my late review, as the semester comes to a close I find myself more and more busy (who would have thought). So This week I wanted to review my favourite comic book series of all-time, Astonishing X-Men written by the ever so talented Joss Whedon and draw by one of my favourite artist John Cassady. So without further a due here is my review of Astonishing X-Men.
So Astonishing X-Men is told through the perspective of Kitty Pryde and centres on the return of the X-Men and the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, Scott Summers and Emma Frost are now running the school and the X-Men have been scaled down to Kitty Pryde, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, Wolverine and one mystery member who gets revealed about 5 or 6 issues in. I don't want to go into too much detail about the plot for fear if spoiling anything of this fantastic story. This is one of the best written books to have come out in a long time and Joss Whedon handles every sentence like its a work of art and that is not to take anything away from Cassady who's artwork is simply beautiful and out of this world! Overall this is in my opinion the best X-Men story ever written and one of the greatest comic book series ever written! It is a must read for anyone period.
