I had real high expectations on this book but if fell short. Great art in the book but I found the whole story a bit boring.

Absolutely excrutiating to read, an obviously unmotivated Ellis seemed to have phoned this one in. One of the worst attempts at "witty ensemble banter" I've ever seen, where the most mundane comments are milked for five mind-numbing panels at a stretch, void of humor and without moving the story or developing the characters in any way. As the characters are presented, they are entirely unlikeable, even loathsome. (Keep in mind I am a big Ellis fan, and an X-men fan)
As for the artist, Bianchi ... Read More

I'm not sure if it's because Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's run was so damn good or if it's that Warren Ellis was having an off day, but this Ghost Box arc leaves me with a reaction of "meh." I guess if you're the oncoming crew you may feel the need to switch things up, try to make the venue your own. Ergo, the X-Men's relocating to San Francisco. Ergo, the new costumes (again).

I'm very happy to see Astonishing in the hands of Ellis. I'm a huge fan of the Whedon run, and Ellis did justice to his series. You'll find humor and dramatic dialogue that truly compare with the previous installments. What's different? No Kitty Pryde or Colossus. Storm joins the gang and gives new chemistry to the group. And we're all in SF now. A significant change in scenery, gave the book that extra originality.
The only thing I miss, is Cassady's artwork. Bianchi(This novel's artist) ... Read More

Joss Whedon and John Cassaday left some pretty big shoes to fill when they departed the Astonishing X-Men title, a title they started. It would take a pretty big talent to pick up the torch, but by tapping Warren Ellis (Authority, Planetary) and illustrator Simone Bianchi (Wolverine: Evolution) Marvel put the flagship title in good hands.
The initial Ellis/Bianchi run is called Ghost Box, and finds our favorite mutants relocated to San Francisco, where a call from SFPD puts the X-Men on the trail ... Read More
