Astonishing X-men #21 - Marvel

I really can't say enough about the creative talent on this book. Even though I've attempted to . . the last few . . . actually all the posts . . . for this book. Everything about it, creatively, is amazing. So . . . I won't go in to all of that again. They've introduced a new character, last issue I think, Ms. Ichiki. Codenamed Armor. Anyways, our team is on Breakworld, trying to figure out just what this prophecy about Colossus is all about. On their way here, they were attacked by the planets military force, so they were forced to crash land. This split up the team. Which is fine, because they really have 2 missions. Of course the first is to find out what is going on with Peter. But secondly, they've come to find out that somewhere on this planet is a missile pointed at the Earth. A missile capable of destroying the whole planet. So obviously they also have to find and defuse that. At the end of last issue, our one team, Emma, Scott and Beast found the mural that shows Colossus crushing the planet in one hand, and their sun in his other. Wolverine and Armor join them straight off this issue. Meanwhile, Kitty and Peter are trying to make their way across the city. This isn't an easy thing to do, especially trying to stay inconspicuous, because pretty much everyone on the planets knows and hates Peter's face. Even the kids. Also Cerebro is still up to something. Don't know everything yet, but you know it's not good. And it seems in the midst of all this, we're getting a few romantic interludes. Beast has has to make a shelter under the snow with Polaris. It's a long story, but suffice it to say that although they have shelter, they have to find a way to stay warm. Meooww! Peter and Kitty have been brought to one of their towers, to rest and reflect before the dawn, when Peter will be expected to make a choice that could change their planet. So, on what could be their final night, Kitty decides to make a move on Peter. "Now I am more confused . . . but . . . somehow . . not as tired." Meowww! Again! And Emma and Scott are in a fighter plane when they're shot down by Cerebro. In the process Scott tells Emma that he's come to love her. After they crash, Scott appears dead, and when confronted by Cerebro Emma says, "Do me one favor dear? Kill me. . . . . please do try to make it quick." And that . . . is the end of this issue. Wow!! Like I've said over and over . . . fantastic story, fantastic art, and fantastic characters. What more could you ask for? Well . . . another issue fairly quickly would be nice.
