WOW.

Cassaday's Beast is starting to look as good as Coipel's!!

I really like how these are turning out.

[jarrod]

Man, though...Cassaday really had the wrong cast for Astonishing. The way he draws Iceman and Storm is soooo...not boring.

Toooooootally agreed! Angel and Nightcrawler look fantastic too.

Whedon actually wanted to use Storm and Nightcrawler originally iirc, but editorial wanted to spread the A-listers more (and Kurt specifically was one of Alan Davis' demands before he'd take Uncanny). This is also why Claremont lost Rogue and Gambit iirc (to Austin, who didn't even want them).

[SkinFromBone]

Finally! I'm defiantly looking forward to it.

[Slyfer]

YATTA , DATTEBAYO!!!

[frog]

Okay, I believe it's actually going to come out now.

[PaxHouse]

....That's both Good & Bad News to finally hear about.....{And we all want to know whether or not the really Bad News will finally happenned.... }....

[Affinity]

Aw, they're trying to save Kitty! That's so cool. It's not like, "Oh whatevs, she's gone! Sorry Pete!" and that makes sense.

Mr. Fantastic has a fatty.

Cassaday art looking FRESH2DEATH. I love it so much! His Emma is so strong, I'm dreading the costume change. Land will sex it up, though.

Laura Martin colors are FIIIERRCEEE RAWR!!!!!

And AGENT BRAND<3 DANGER<3 BEAST<3

The delays have been hideous but MAN am I gonna miss Cassadays art. Seeing this compared to Bianchis preview art is definately bitter sweet.

[frog]

I like Cassady's art, but I'll be quite happy with Bianchi as long as he gets it out on schedule. Besides, I liked his art other than Storm's costume.

[timbox]

I writing the names down of all the people saying Kitty is going to die. Don't make me start putting check marks.

[Brian "Vash" Ashby]

Cassidy shouldnt be drawing superhero comics. He's too realistic i think. Good artist but not a great fit.

However if this comic will kill off Kitty a pox on it. I feel he's done enough damage to the character as is. And replacing kitty with colossus is both a silly move its also from a storytelling angle a bad idea. Colossus is very very uninteresting.


Him wanting to nail 13 year olds, while not a positive trait, is the only one that sticks out

[Brett P]

omg this looks freaking AWESOME! Spidey and Iceman interaction = full of win. I actually like that Cassady went with the "classic" look Iceman.

It sure makes me wish the other X-Men had a chance to been included throughout past arcs.

I wonder if Spidey is making a quip about all the the kids he doesn't recognise in the panel with Warpath and Pixie lol. It looks like it's gonna be alot of fun.

It's nice to see Megans hair and wings correctly colored somewhere atleast. Victor looks cute! It's awesome that we get one more outing with the New X-Men team that ended before they even had chance to go on a mission together (aside from Messiah).

Oh, KITTY! *sniff*

Aw. He's by no means a favourite but I always quite liked the "gentle giant" thing. I think he's cute! Especially when he cried in Uncanny lol. His powers are pretty sweet too and he makes a good visual!

[Beast]

Awww, Beast and his new Girlfriend look so cute together.
