Description

Now in one titanic tome: the entire chart-topping run of super-team Joss Whedon and John Cassaday! Winner of multiple prestigious Eisner Awards, Whedon and Cassaday's "Astonishing X-Men" was a smash hit with critics and fans alike from the very first issue - winning praise from dozens of top media outlets including "Entertainment Weekly", "Publishers Weekly", "TV Guide", and "New York Magazine", as well as racking up nearly every major comic-book industry award. Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Whedon and Cassaday ("Captain America" and "Planetary") assembled a tight cast - Cyclops, the Beast, Wolverine, and Emma Frost, joined by returning fan-favorite Kitty Pryde - and set forth a groundbreaking pace, from the opening pages of a Sentinel attack to the unexpected return of a beloved X-Man. Then, building on early momentum, they ratcheted up the danger and drama with a shocking second year, creating a must-read book that can truly be called 'astonishing'. It collects "Astonishing X-Men" numbered 1-24, and "Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men" number 1.

Review by Thomas on 28th January, 2012
5 stars "Awesome"

Joss Whedon's Asto­nishing X-Men is, in a word, astonishing. Whedon's trademark dialogue is in full force, making for a smart, witty read which makes 600 or so pages fly by. The plot is set on an epic scale which is too good to fit into a review this size. And the illustrations are fantastic.

The book itself is good too. The pages are glossy and good quality and aren't too fragile and the borders and placement of the illustrations mean that you don't lose any of the images in the divide in the middle of the book. It's around about A4 size and pretty thick and heavy so holding it up while reading will get tiring quickly.

Definitely worth buying. One of the best X-Men comics ever.
