Astonishing X-Men?

[tsarax]

Hi all,

I was wondering if Astonishing X-Men was still continuing as an ongoing series? I've noticed no solicits in the past couple Previews. Instead they are soliciting a mini series for Astonishing. The last arc in the ongoing wasn't finished, but I think the last book came out about 2 or 3 months ago. Anyone know?

Hi all,

Next regular issue was supposed to come out early this month, then got delayed to the end, and now looks like it's May 12th on the Marvel website.

I stopped reading Astonishing X-Men after Joss Whedon left the series

Yeah, it hasn't been bad, but not nearly as good as when Joss was writing it. Plus, these loooong delays between issues kill the story for me.

They might as well cancel Astonishing. Love Ellis, but it's not his jam and the lulls haven't been worth the wait.

I don't think Ellis is a bad writer,I just think Astonishing X-Men is not really his type of series he would write.

I wish he'd jump back on to New Universal (of which it only went to 2 issues).

I concur. Definitely has potential...

They've just killed the Astonishing X-Men.

Writer Marjorie Liu and artist Mike Perkins are the new Astonishing X-Men creative team as of issue 48 in March 2012.

 

Unlike recent story arcs on the book, Liu and Perkins are on Astonishing X-Men for an open-ended run. The series will focus on Wolverine's side of the X-Men in the "Regenesis" era, and star Warbird, Northstar, Gambit, Cecila Reyes, Iceman and Karma.

 

What a team of has beens and also rans. I've seen porn movies with more star power.

Broke Back Mountain doesn't count.

[spideysenses78]

That would be Bare Back Mountain.

I love the X-men but this series has turned to total

[DrWatson]

My fear is that it will become another Wolverine book. I don't like Wolverine. If I did, I would collect Wolverine.

What's wrong with Perkins?

[DrWatson]

Nothing, I hope. It's the line up that's lackluster.

Maybe they will "astonish" you.

[DrWatson]

I'm not having high hopes.
