I finally got Unstoppable. I read the first issue, I cant wait to see what happens (although I already know one major spoiler about a certain character *cough*Kitty*cough*). |

I finished the last trade today. A very sad, but really great, end to this part of the series. This series has become my favorite comic.  Sucks for Kitty, I hope she's still alive. And I hope the new creative team can continue this comic's "awesomeness".  Question: does Agent Brand ever show up again? I started hating her character but around the end, she grew on me. |

At the moment, Brand hasn't been seen, but then it's only been one issue so far with the new team. She may yet come back.....

I think I heard something about agent brand showing up later but am not sure.
I am glad you like the book so far. The first issue of the new team was good too. Hope it keeps up.

Oh, ok.
So, Ive read that Astonishing, although it is in continuity with the rest of 616, that it is like its own little universe and doesnt really "connect" with the rest. Like in crossovers and stuff. So are the events that happen in this book mentioned or referenced in the other books?

Not that I can recall, lol. Though I think in Uncanny Kitty's demise/disappearance was mentioned because Colosuss was still grieving.

Oh that sucks. But I guess it does a affect the rest in a way: Armor was made up in Astonishing and she's in other comics I think, Kitty's not in any comic anymore....things like that.

Yeah its its own monster, but it does connect when the other writers want it to. I mean House of M had the astonishing group in it, but none of that is every mentioned in Astonishing.. events just happen. Actually if you aren't up to date on other stuff, it MIGHT even be confusing at times. They always give some background info on the first page though, so maybe not.

Do you mean that Astonishing can be confusing or another comic?

Well I am not sure, but Astonishing, being its own world and yet connected to the other 616 worlds can be confusing if you don't read the others. Maybe not. I read the others, so I am not sure how confusing it will be.
lol sorry if I am making no sense.

Lol you do. But I dont read the other series and I didnt get confused. But maybe its because I read a lot about X-men in wikipedia and other sites. So I know all the basic things and knew most of what had happened before Astonishing already (everything with Cassandra and all that). I did read an arc of New X-Men by Morrison in a library once but most of it I know because of plot summaries and stuff.

Well there must be some congruity, because now in both Astonishing and Uncanny, they are all living in San Fransico. That's more than we had before.... |
