Product Description:
Now in one titanic tome: the entire chart-topping run of super-team Joss Whedon and John Cassaday! Winner of multiple prestigious Eisner Awards, Whedon and Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men was a smash hit with critics and fans alike from the very first issue - winning praise from dozens of top media outlets including Entertainment Weekly, Publishers Weekly, TV Guide, and New York Magazine, as well as racking up nearly every major comic-book industry award. Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Whedon and Cassaday (Captain America, Planetary) assembled a tight cast - Cyclops, the Beast, Wolverine, and Emma Frost, joined by returning fan-favorite Kitty Pryde - and set forth a groundbreaking pace, from the opening pages of a Sentinel attack to the unexpected return of a beloved X-Man. Then, building on early momentum, they ratcheted up the danger and drama with a shocking second year, creating a must-read book that can truly be called "astonishing!" Collects Astonishing X-Men #1-24, and Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men #1.

I just love the Omnibus Editions. So much more fun reading compared to single issues. Big fun, great run, highly recommended. Buy it.

One of the best runs of x-men I have read. Also takes place outside of continuity so it's a great place for newbies to try out the x-men.

In what can be called a truly ESSENTIAL ADDITION to ANY X-Men library, this latest installment in the Marvel Omnibus series collects Astonishing X-Men #1-24 and Giant Size Astonishing X-Men #1. This highly prolific era in X-Men storytelling can be credited to Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Joss Whedon with the characters realized superbly in beautiful artwork by John Cassaday. Before I get into the specifics of the story itself, because like any great author's run on X-Men, Joss Whedon's IS one story, ... Read More

Combining the fantastic dialogue Whedon is known for and the higly detailed artwork of Cassaday, Astonishing X Men will no doubt go down in history as one of the greatest X Men runs in it's entire history - second only to Claremont's. By hitting the ground running with the aftermath of Morrisons' history shattering (in a good way) stories, Whedon immediately brings a depth and understanding to these characters that many others have failed to be able to do. It is no secret that Whedon roughly based ... Read More

How do you measure up to a prolific run by Grant Morrison on Marvel's merry mutants? You get the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly/Serenity to take over. While Morrison's run on New X-Men re-instated the X-Men as a whole to a level of respectability they hadn't seen in years, Joss Whedon came in and did something else entirely: made an X-book fun again. With a core team consisting of Cyclops, Emma Frost, Wolverine, Beast, and Shadowcat; Whedon ditches the black leather from ... Read More
