Kitty's great-- but I wanna see more Colossus. And Beast.
Any one have a theory about the 'mystery voice' that's been talking to Emma?
The first six issues were terrific; issues since have been very good, but not quite hitting the mark their predecessors set.
I'm looking forward to the next arcs-- maybe the conclusion will improve my opinion of the current one.

The dynamic between Kitty and Emma is one of my favorite points of this book. I could tell that would be the case in the first issue when Kitty made the comment about being late because she was getting completely dressed. Plus, Kitty makes Emma act kind of like a brat, so...

armsfalloffboy, i agree the X-verse has gotten very confusing over the years...and somehow the it keeps moving on. I've noticed lots of younger fans (children of the 90's) are huge fans of later characters like Psylocke, Bishop, Rogue, Gambit, etc.
I've looked at the "X-model" and I like it for one reason. No reboots back to the original X-Men, or Claremont's classic X-Men,etc. I hate when a title goes backwards b/c some writer think the original stuff to be the best or most original, etc. When things get quietly wiped out so everything is like it was.
The X-Men as muddled as their history/continuity is they build on what came before. Jean is dead. Emma is looking great by Whedon. So is Kitty. Now fans will look to these women as their favorites. New characters become popular...that's nice.

If there is one criticism of Astonishing, it's that sometimes not a whole lot seems to happen in an issue--lots of big pictures. I thought the last one (10?) was a little thin. Good stuff, though. How are Peter and Kitty going to survive being shish-kebabed?

this is currently the only X-title that i buy !!
and i really enjoyed the first 6 or so issues, but i'm not sure at the minute ?? feels it's dragging out a little .....
and i could look at CEREBRO without thinking of ROBERT VAUGN's sister in "SUPERMAN III" when she she gets turned into that robot version of herself, towards the end of the film !! she looks just the same IMO !!

this is the only x-title i buy now...and i was a pretty devoted x-fan.
so sad. i'll just ignore the rest of the x-universe..."198 what? i don't know what you are talking about"....besides give it five years and we'll have a ton of muties running around again.

No, it's not. He signed on to do another twelve issue run. It's going to start again in... I want to say January but it may be February or March. 2006 for sure, though.
I think this is partially due to HoM, partially because they had some deadline issues with the first twelve and partly other commitments.
But, long story short, it will return in 2006. Mark your calendars...

I also can't wait for this. I wonder where the characters will be in the mean-time? Hopefully they won't get sucked into any other books and Joss can have them all to him self upon his return (Wolvie not counting).

If the rumors are true, Kitty will be in New Excalibur (and back with Pete Wisdom) and Illyana will be filling her place in Astonishing X-Men.
We'll just have to wait and see, though. As for the team itself... I have no idea if they'll be appearing in other books or not. Emma's been in adjectiveless for the past few arcs and both Emma and Cyke have reccuring roles in New X-Men - Academy X. I guess we'll see...

I'd bet almost anything that rumour is untrue. Whedon has an absolute lock on being Kitty's primary writer as part of his contract - she's the only character in AXM he actually asked for.
