Astonishing X-Men

#19 was very good as usual. I like all the little moments. Colossus' little joke. Kitty Pryde's "bullet in the head." with Agent Brand.

Afaik no announcements about replacements yet. Although since Whedon is taking over Runaways... maybe Brian K Vaughn will be taking over writing duties for Astonishing? Just throwing that out there.

According to Marvel's Daily Bugle, Whedon and Cassaday will conclude their run on Astonishing X-Men with Giant Size Astonishing X-Men #1, however it has yet to be revealed whether the story will be connected to the Unstoppable storyline or be a stand alone story. And from what I know, Whedon is scheduled to take over writing duties of Runaways starting with issue #25, replacing Brian K. Vaughan/

19, good as usual... i keep wondering if whedon can be consistently as good as he is, and yet he keeps the same high standard again and again...

more good news maybe, whedon is taking over runaways soon, yay i wonder what new twists he'll add

What do you think of Bishop being involved his definitly one of the most fearsome characters

Involved in what? 🤨

did i miss somthing? is bishop joining astonishing xmen?
last i saw bishop was the civil war stuff with bishop and cyclops trying to save children from some sort of bomb,there was alot going on with many heroes and a sub plot with a mind controller

After reading Seven Soldiers: Shining Knight.. I've come to the conclusion that if someone has to replace Cassaday, then Simone Bianchi would be an excellent artist to take over.

He's currently penciling Jeph Loeb's ( 😘) Wolverine run for 6 issues.

i dunno... its not that its bad art, i think we'd need to find out the writer first, then see who suits em...

I think the art suits the style of the book set by Cassaday.

I wonder when they'll finally give some sort of announcement about the future of the book.

My money is probably still on BKV as Whedon's replacement if they continue the title. Y - The Last Man is wrapping up and Whedon is taking over his Runaways.

yep

its entirely possible...

you are right about the style of the art, though i'm leaning more towards wanting a new type of artist coming in... and i pray he'll change cyclops' costume...

i heard a rumour>>>>>>>>>
Potential Spoiler

Astonishing Xmen will be cancelled after Josh's run
i hope it is not true

Anyway after reading Warsong #5 I think it's safe to say Emma WON'T be killed off...

Leaving:
Colossus
Beast
Wolverine
Shadowcat
Cyclops
Lockheed

Wolverine is safe...Colossus was just killed...Cyclops is too important to kill off especially when the Phoenix is going to make another return soon.

There'd be no point in killing Beast.

I'd still go with Lockheed otherwise Kitty. However it'd really suck if Kitty got killed off...so here's hoping for Lockheed.

Lockheed? why would such a death even matter? Lockheed has never been a central character of anything.....does it even have a fanbase? (well duh, hell even Wolverine has one a those 😛 )

Now Killing Kitty.......who Whedon see's as Astonishing's Buffy now that has weight......i can see it now Kitty pryde roasting on an open fire....sweeeeet... 😈

But come on guys, Joss killed Buffy at the end of one of the seasons of her own show, he HAS to kill Kitty! 😉 I'de be pretty pissed if he killed any 1 else.... 😛

but the hard part is actually killing her, she's untouchable mostly

HAHA. so true.

The new Astonishing writer was supposed to have attended the X-Men writer/editor summit.

Did they actually say an X-Man will die, I thought they just said one wouldn't return.

one would not return i believe,any way i hope the rumour is false its my favorite X title by far

It's the headlining X-Men book regularly in the top 5 or 10 comics in terms of sales - logically they're going to at least try and continue it, if purely for financial reasons.

It doesn't necessarily say one will die...I guess it doesn't have to be taken in that kind of light. But Wizard went as far to place odds on which character dies.
