ASTONISHING X-MEN #1
Written by JOSS WHEDON
Pencils & Cover by JOHN CASSADAY
"GIFTED" pt. 1 (of 6)
Dream-team creators JOSS WHEDON (creator of TV’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and
JOHN CASSADAY (Planetary, CAPTAIN AMERICA) bring you the explosive #1 issue of
the all-new flagship X-Men series! As part of X-MEN: RELOAD, this issue marks a
return to classic greatness and the beginning of a brand-new era for the X-Men.
32 PGS./MARVEL PSR …$2.99
UPC: 5960605543-00111


"A return to classic greatness and the beginning of a brand-new era" is pure Marvel, in the "bold," but not enough to annoy the fanboys way, but promotional business aside, this is amazing news, and I'm surprised to say that I'll still be reading an X-Book, even after Morrison leaves. And, with Angel being cancelled, this might be a good opportunity for comics to pick up people who need a regular Whedon fix.

Now, what I really want to know is how many scripts does Whedon have done, and how far ahead on drawing is Cassaday? And, what's going to happen to Planetary.

Sometime in May, that solicit's from Marvel's May previews.

That sounds pretty cool. I'd love to see a cover for this. Also, I wonder who's going to be in this cast of X-Men.
