Astonishing Xmen will be cancelled after Josh's run

marvel would be monumentally stupid to do something like that...

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.

i think kitty is the favourite to be honest, especially after how much focus she's had in the recent arcs...

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.

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.

*prays the phoenix doesnt turn up and take cyclops away*

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.

i realy dont think any one is going to die, with this much hype about death, its likely they wont kill off some one, just to laugh at every ones faces when no one dies

Spoiler:
Nobody dies in Astonishing X-Men 20

My prediction:

Hisako dies...Colossus finds Kittys costume...and thinks Kitty died...goes crazy but purges breaker world from it's current rulers.(Prophecy was ambiguous) We find out that it was actually Hisako who died and kitty is alive...

Remember there's a reason why Hisako is wearing Kitty Prydes costume.

issue 20, well i am still waiting for cyclops's personality to become prominent?, where is his new attitude? thats the only problem i have right now, i think the kitty costume call is a good one, pretty good issue with a funny (ironic) ending

man, this arc better pic up. it's the last damn arc of the dynamic duo! the last two issues have been sub-par.

i'm in the same boat... i think the next issue will have more cyclops than the last couple...

This is a great time to really show what cyclops is made of( at least it happens to most character's who loose their powers) they should show what he can do when things get tuff.But in the chaotic situation they are in ,it must be hard to showcase him when the group is seperated.and they are on an alien planet

true... but i think this is probably the first time he's truly been free to show just how good he is at what he does, with no powers he can do as he likes without having to hold back...

i can't wait...

💃 Astonishing X-Men respek thread now up! 💃

Technically the entire series is on KMC up until issue 18 or 19 - when there was more leniency towards whole issue scans.

No Offense to Emma but this would be also a good time to be alone.
after jean now emma,i would like to see him alone for a long time,i like emma and all but he needs to become independant,i know he had a loner stage but i dont collect that run and it was too short(i think during the bonded to apocalypse thing)

maybe, once he's done in a positive way i don't mind if he's alone or with someone...

so like have they found anyone to continue the series after Joss Whedon leaves??

Do you mean the way he's drawn? Because even though I like Cassady's art overall, his rendition of Cyclops almost always looks wrong and/or bad (can't think of a better word) to me whenever he's shown out of costume.
