The bad news is the Astonishing X-Men, as published under the creative guidance of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday . . is no more. The good news is, the series will continue, and . . it'll continue under the auspicious creative guidance of Warren Ellis, Simone Bianchi and Salvador Larroca. Is it physically, or humanly, possible for Salvador to be associated with one more project at Marvel right now? The guy seems to have his hands into everything right now. Which, ultimately, is just a huge nod to his talent, but . . he's only human. He is human, right? Anyways this issue focus' mainly on Simone's redesign of the X-Men's costumes. Some of them aren't really changed that much, such as Wolverine, Nightcrawler and even Scott's. While others have gone through a major redesign, such as Colossus, Storm and Dazzler. Also Hanks outfit looks pretty neat. It seems like every time there's a creative change in the X-Men, poor Hank gets more and more bestial looking. Also the other big change is that the X-Men will be leaving Westchester. Finally! They're going to be setting up shop on the West Coast. They'll be taking over a top secret bunker not to far from San Francisco. Hey, maybe we'll see them in San Diego next year. Anyways, they plans for this new home are designed, and explained, by Salvador. As much as I've thoroughly enjoyed this series to date, I have to say that my anticipation for this new direction is much more peaked than I expected. I really can't wait to see where we go from here.
