Joss Whedon (TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly) has teamed up with the excellent John Cassaday (Planetary, Captain America) to present the explosive, all-new flagship X-Men series - marking a return to classic greatness and the beginning of a brand-new era for the X-Men!
There has been loads of hype surrounding this title but it really is pretty good, with solid script and excellent dialogue (as you'ld expect from the man who put all those clever one liners in the Vampire Slayer's mouth) and Cassaday's attractive brand of art.

But when breaking news regarding the mutant gene unexpectedly hits the airwaves, will it derail their new plans before they even get started? As demand for the "mutant cure" reaches near-riot levels, the X-Men go head-to-head with the enigmatic Ord, with an unexpected ally - and some unexpected adversaries -- tipping the scales! Collects Astonishing X-Men #1-6.
