Of course this book was fantastic. I'm sorry that I couldn't find a larger picture of the cover. Rather than do an issue #25, by Whedon and Cassaday, they decided to put out a giant-sized issue, and wrap up the story that way. I'm not complaining. I'm just glad that we got another issue out of the guys, and we get 1 final chapter in their version of the Astonishing X-Men. Fan-frikkin-tastic! There was so much going on in this issue that I read it twice. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. It turns out that the prophecy on Breakworld . . about Colossus being the orchestrator of it's destruction . . was a self-fulfilling prophecy. It turns out that they knew about Peter's powers, and his unique metal frame. Basically, there's has been a warring world for so long that they knew the only way they were ever going to have any peace would he with their destruction. So basically they created their own prophecy. Then all they had to do was manipulate the events and get Colossus to come to their homeworld. Heck, they probably would've just abducted him . . if they had to. The problem is, before they figure all of this out . . they still end up getting the missle launched towards Earth. Kitty ended up stowing away on board . . she thought she could disrupt it's electrical systems, but . . it's actually just a 10 mile long bullet. Aimed straight at Earth. And there's something strange about the metal that it's made of, because it seems to be disrupting Kitty's powers and making her weaker. But you just knew that it was never going to be that easy. Overall I thought it was an incredible issue. The resolution for Kitty's dilemma was . . well . . unexpected. I don't want to give away everything. And there's something brewing between Agent Brand and . . . well you should pick it up and read it for yourself. You really won't be disappointed. It really is that good. Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for issue #25. That's when the new creative team of Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi will be coming on board. I don't think the quality of this title will be diminishing anytime soon.
