Astonishing X-Men #16 - Marvel


This book is incredible. Everything about it is "Astonishing". The writing is great. I love all the twists and turns Joss puts into his stories. The artwork is fabulous. I love John's cinematic style that he uses on all his pages. I'll tell you what, if they don't use Joss to write the next X-Men movie, they're insane!! Any one of these books could be a movie unto itself. So many things happened last issue. The Hellfire Club all but disabled the X team. The only one with any semblance of sanity is Kitty, but she's been sunk to the center of the earth. She was starting to make her way back up though at the end of last issue. Danger, the new entity that is the Danger Room come to life, has gone into orbit to visit Ord to tell him that he is destined to destroy the world. Now neither of these 2 things are aware of the other, presently. But I think all that will change in the next issue or 2. I mean if the X-Men are being attacked from 2 different directions, by 2 different groups, it's only logical that eventually they're going to come into conflict with each other. That could be a mess. For everyone involved. The other twists that come this issue is that Emma and the White Queen are 2 separate entities. And that SWORD is responsible for bringing Peter back to life, and that "the one mutant destined to destroy the entire planet. . . . is the one you brought back to life." Man this book leaves you wanting more.
