The fanboy in me is screaming "ed benes or ian churchill" but both are busy, and im not sure benes would suit astonishing...

writers? mark waid, kurt busiek... though i dunno if they're up for it...

The writer/artist team on The Authority would certainly make AXM interesting... but I've been hooked on plugging The Authority for a while.

I just had a thought...imagine if Greg Horn got the job for Astonishing...just think of the covers... 😛

All horn's females look generic but he does do "grown up" art.

i know that name... who is he again?

He's an artist...but his Emma Frost covers were totally irrelevant...

The problem with him like X says is that all his females look the same.

Oh yeah, now i remember him... meh...

i wouldnt want him or greg land...

Wait isn't it Greg Land who did Endsong...oops I mixed them up...Lands females looks too similar...not too sure about Horn...he seems okay.

Yeah...that too...

What do you guys think of Karl Bollers as a writer...his style of writing is similar to Joss' IMO...just less twists...

I'd give the entire series a B+ still better then some of the crap Uncanny has spouted.... it looks like finding another Joss will be harder then I thought...

Joss is rare... he mixes action, comedy and all the serious stuff incredibly well at times...

Yeah I know what you mean...he can have two speech bubbles on a double page and still make it look good.

Yeah...

I'm really hoping for Brian K Vaughn to take over writing once Joss leaves. He'd do a great job following Joss, and Astonishing just seems like a book he has to write as some point.

As for the artist... i'm not sure. Maybe Coipel.

Anyway cover to #17

😂 Whedon and Cassaday are definitely going to leave big shoes to fill. So hard to top this.
