Yeah, another reason to hate Bendis. I first thought this Kitty/Starlord thing was a joke.
I would love see her getting a own Ongoing or Mini.

Oh yeah. I love the art but i've never seen Fight Club. Come back to girly books Cameron.
Did he...
You might like that one actually. It's good, light-hearted fun. It's my favorite issue of Multiversity I think.

Of course not. Star-Lord's in space. It's a long-distance relationship.
They do some kind of phone sex...Did I imagine that or was that in one of the issues.

I miss Cosmic Marvel.
This wasn't actually from Bendis' GOTG, by the way. This panel is from Legendary Star-Lord.
So yeah, this is very much canon.
I miss Cosmic Marvel.
is this Bendis's GOTG? panel looks like the 'comedy' I expect out of Bendis.

Sam Humphries made a mess of Uncanny X-Force, and now Kitty Pryde? I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to Marvel, which won't be printed because they got rid of letter pages to sell more ads in the print versions.
Damnit, Marvel.
time for some crazy talk
...Im liking Astonishing more than I liked New X-Men
It "feels" more like the X-Men I knew while maintaining the great writting "New" had. Also, it seems more consistant (so far at least, im up to the Breakworld arc now), New X-Men's highs were higher (Riot at Xavier) but its lows were lower I think

The Breakworld is the last Astonishing X-Men story, and the best to me
there's Warren Ellis stuff later but uh...you don't really need to read that
the last as in... youre pretending the rest didnt exist? because im pretty sure I saw more issues up on MU

A ComicsGaffer sent me a code for the issue that panel's from some months back. I wasn't particularly impressed with that issue, especially when compared to Rocket Raccoon.
I don't know, maybe Legendary Star-Lord #3 as whole is a step down from the rest of the run, but I'm not so sure about picking up the trade.

Anyone who can appreciate Amanda Conner and Power Girl does not have shit taste
It's a hell of a lot better than Bendis' Guardians- I'll give Humphries that much. That whole issue was kinda a trainwreck, but the rest of it has been surprisingly solid. I'd probably like it more if the Star-Lord book starred a character who actually acted like Star-Lord, but the movie pretty much killed any chance of that happening forever.
Nah, its all the same. If you didn't enjoy that then I can't see the others changing that.

Yeah, they're both great but I prefer Astonishing as well. It was the series I went back to after I took a year out from comics for my state exams (that and New Avengers, Avengers Disassembled was..... interesting for someone that had followed the Avengers since they were 4, put it that way). It is a regression after Morrison pushes forward the mythos, but Marvel retconned the Magneto stuff that was so interesting, and I tend to like the Dad Comics style of book (think Waid, or Johns without the severed arms) anyway.
Testify!

Superman #37 was another great issue. I wish I read this before the end of the month because I would have easily replaced Gotham Academy with it. Not that Gotham Academy is bad or anything, but this book always delivers. Seriously hop on if you like Superman. Can't wait for this month's issue.

there are more issues, but they are not by Whedon/Cassaday/Martin. Its an entirely new creative team, with some new cast members, new styles, ideas, don't continue any of Whedon's plot threads. Unstoppable/Breakworld is pretty much the conclusion, and the Astonishing X-Men stuff that came out of is the same in name only. And its not that great, so you don't really need to read it anyway.

I'm sure there's some stuff about it in the Fraction-era stuff, but when I wanted to read that I started at X-Men: Schism which kicks off the Wolverine/Cyclops divide. Gillen took over for Fear Itself and stayed on for the post-Schism era, his run is good if you can stomach the LAAAAAAAND art.
And it gave us this Cyclops gem:

Yes, but it's more like Fantastic Four/Thor Fraction, and not FF/Iron Fist/Hawkeye Fraction.
What did they say?
really slow burn, and probably not worth reading through the actual comics themselves in the end outside a few specific things
I think there were 24 issues of Whedon.
After that is where all of the Bianchi costume designs come in. This was a dark time. Ribbing everywhere! Crotchburst Dazzler!
I want to say it should go something like Messiah Complex/Cable's solo series, Manifest Destiny, Schism, then it splits into Cyclops Uncanny team and Wolverine & The X-Men, then AvX?

Wait WTF, where's the conclusion to Breakworld? Issue 24 is by whedon, 25 is by Warren Ellis and has nothing to do with it.
Worse, the info page at the start mentions Messiah Complex so that aparently happened... somewhere.

Superior Iron Man is so cringeworthy. That scene in issue three with Daredevil. Good lord, so ham fisted, good thing he is following Gillen's offensively bad run.....l

Astonishing is still the best thing Whedon has ever written in his life. I'll always love New X-Men more but the end of AXM with Kitty and the bullet still chokes me up just thinking about it. It's one of the landmark moments in comics history to me.
OK done with whedon's Astonishing. Bye Kitty, I'll see you on another book soon enough I'm sure.
OK so now what? I notice Messiah Complex is on MU as an "event" (as in they include every relevant issue from different series), but for example Schism isn't.
I'm just pulling random events out of my, I have no clue when they happen relative to what I've just read. Well Messiah must be close since the next Astonishing issue is after it.
So...suggestions? Kinda lost here

I really liked Fractions run on Iron Man. Great examination of the character. Larroca's art in it isn't great though. It's most definitely worth an MU read.
As for what to read next on X-Men hmm Yeah I dont know maybe Gillen or Fractions run on the titles? I really didnt like Messiah Complex.

Brubaker's strength has always been spy / crime fiction. Which is why he's amazing at stuff like Daredevil and Winter Soldier, in addition to the obvious stuff like Criminal and Velvet.

I love the first half of The Immortal Iron Fist. Haven't read the second.
What I've read of FF (Future Foundation, not Fantastic Four) is pretty good, too.
