Astonishing X-Men By Charles Soule
Astonishing X-Men By Charles Soule: Life Of X | Charles Soule
6 posts | 6 read
Collects Astonishing X-Men (2017) #1-6. Charles Soule and a stellar roster of superstar artists unite to put the Astonishing back in the X-Men! An ancient evil is attacking the world's most powerful minds. It will have them by the time you finish this sentence, and a moment later, it will have us all. A band of X-Men discovers the truth behind the threat, but is there any time left for Psylocke, Old Man Logan, Bishop, Archangel, Fantomex, Rogue and Gambit? In an action-packed X-epic, they must head to the astral plane in pursuit of...the Shadow King! But in this brain-bending mindscape, not everything is as it seems, and reality is a relative concept. Will this impromptu squad of X-Men be able to contain the chaos from spilling out into the world?

This is the variant cover for last Wednesdays Astonishing X-Men 13. It features a new writer (Mathew Rosenberg taking over from Charles Soule) for the series as well as a whole new X-team lineup. Dazzler, obviously, is one of them...and she definitely fits the bill for 'Pop-life' 🕺

Officially, the Number One Rule of X-Men is "Professor X Is The Worst."

Secretly, it's "It's Always The Shadow King." Even if it LOOKS like it's Mr Sinister, or Apocalypse, or whoever, we can be assured a retcon will someday wander into our lives and prove the Shadow King was behind everything all along.

(Thank you for indulging me in this fandom-specific tangent.) #xmenproblems #comics

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Don‘t know if you watched the “Wes Anderson‘s X-men” tv show Legion, but... well.. guess who the villain turned out to be? 7y
xicanti @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I'm still waiting for my library to buy it on DVD, but this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Apologies if that was too spoilery. 7y
xicanti @TobeyTheScavengerMonk nah, it's all good. I never worry overmuch about X-Men spoilers to begin with, and any time anything psychically fishy happens I'm always like, "IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE SHADOW KING!" anyways. 7y
GarthRanzz Got my six issues ready to read as the first collection this weekend for #24in48. Been waiting to start this one. Just hope it‘s better than Gold and Blue have been. 7y

I'm an enormous X-Men fan. Right now, IMO, the best current X title is Astonishing X-Men. It has all the feels from the classic Chris Claremont days.

I figured this cover fit today's challenge. 👌

vivastory What is your favorite Batman series? 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai @vivastory Hmmm. Pretty much the entire New 52 Scott Snyder run, I guess. Also a big fan of Hush, Arkahm Assylum, Dark Knight. The new series, Metal, is really friggen good too. It's bonkers, but I'm really enjoying it. I also really dig the older Detective stuff. Gonna actually start trying to get a sizeable Detective collection going I think. 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @vivastory also, not sure, it's either out already or about to come out in trade, but the War of Jokes and Riddles by Tom King is friggen AWESOME! It was an arc of 7 or so issues in the current ongoing Batman comic and it was reeeeeeeally good! 7y
vivastory Thanks! The only Batman I have read is Moore's The Killing Joke & Arkham Asylum illustrated by Dave McKean. I'm at the library now & I just picked up volume 1 of The New 52. Going to screenshot your posts for future reference. I've been wanting to read Batman, but was intimidated by all of the series 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @vivastory Awesome. The new 52 stuff by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo is a terrific run. You're gonna dig it! 👍 7y
TricksyTails @vivastory Scott Snyder's run on Batman is one of the best. The Court of Owls is awesome! 🙌 7y
