ASTONISHING X-MEN #19

**MattBrady** · 12-08-2006, 01:11 PM

Marvel Comics has provided Newsarama with your first look at John Cassday’s variant cover for this month’s Astonishing X-Men #19, beginning the “Unstoppable” arc.

AS already revealed in the solicitations, the variant covers will ship in a 50/50 ratio with the regular covers of the series, and each variant issue, up to Cassaday and Joss Whedon’s final, #24, will feature a different member of the “Astonishing” team. Each of the six issues will fit together to make one large image, which, Marvel told Newsarama, will be made available at a later date.

Additionally, Marvel provided Newsarama with a splash page from issue #19.

meh...when does the next issue of Adjectiveless X-Men come out

IMO, they should color Cyke's eyes in red, the same shade as the background. But, still, flawless Cassaday, as ever.

Astonishing is the only X-book left in my world.

cyclops looks like nathan fillion from serenity/firerfly which is quite funny considering who he is working with.

Quoted for fricking truth!

I don't know if its the scheduling but while I like Astonishing, I actually prefer Uncanny and Adjectiveless alot more these days. It seems like nothing happens in Astonishing. But it always looks beautiful.

I don't think he is... I actually enjoy the other 2 x-men titles more...

just couldn't get into this one, and i read the first 12...

Too bad for you, since the last six were much much better.

well, after 12... You can understand why I tried to put my money toward a book that I really thought WAS exciting...

i agree with a previous post that said it moved slow/seemed like stuff didnt happen...

@ Grendel Prime -

The reason his eyes aren't colored in red is because he doesn't have access to his powers at the moment...

Astonishing X-Men is one fabulous book!

I hope they cancel the series after the final issue of the current creativ-team. because the successors will have not even snowball in hell-chance of coming even close to those 24 issues of W&C.

I agree. Uncanny and X-Men are much better reads.

How I wish the folks making the X-Men movies had even half this much respect for Cyclops. Go get'em Cyke!

Smakk9 · 12-08-2006, 02:16 PM

For me personally, the best thing that Astonishing has done is bringing back Colossus and putting a spotlight on Kitty Pryde, other than that I haven't been too impressed

vanillacyke · 12-08-2006, 02:16 PM

That image of Cyclops . . . GORGEOUS!

Are we back in the 90's??? When was the last time Marvel or any comic company used a that type of gimmick to sell the book. Now a day they just use the term variant to really sell out the books.
