Oh, cool. Makes sense since she's supposed to deal with alien threats.

It kind of looks "westerny" but with spikes for some reason. IDK it looks weird to me.

I like the cover.. Im sure its only for the story, and not a new look. It DOES look westerny... and Ghost Boxes... Ghost towns.. I don't know, maybe it has some sort of western theme?

LOL, in the last Astonishing issue they followed some alien dude to a spaceship he was trying to fix up so he could leave. He was using one of the ghost boxes to do it. The Xs stopped him and acquired the box. The ghost boxes are some kind of alien device.

Whats funny is I still enjoy Astonishing, but I HATE alien stuff. Thats why I stopped reading Uncanny so long ago, and yet with Secret Invasion going on, and now this, its almost all thats going on:)

Yeah, I know. I HATE X-men in space with aliens. I think it makes no sense for a story about people who want to be known as human, even though they're a little different, who just want to be accepted to be out on other planets fighting aliens. I think they should be on Earth trying to be accepted and fighting "bad" mutants or other threats to the human race, but not aliens and going to space and all that.
However, Whedon's story and writing were so good that I really enjoyed the story and forgot that they were in space and that it involved aliens and all those things I hate.

Astonishing was so much better than the whole Vulcan thing in Uncanny. I liked Vulcan himself, just not the whole Shi'ar debacle. It was boring.

See and I don't care for most space stories but I have enjoyed Secret Invasion and outside of Messiah CompleX, Rise and Fall is probably my favorite X-Story. Loved it.

I guess thats good that they make something for everybody to enjoy I guess... at one point or another we are bound to dislike certain arcs, but some else will love it. Astonishing has been a great book for me so far and continues to do so, although the new arc is hard to really comment on at this point. I guess after the first arc is over, it will be easy to say if I really like it or not. Its a lot of set-up now and that sort of takes time I guess, although I am not sure it is really needed since we all know the characters and their dynamic at this point.

I FINALLY, got 25 and 26. I read 25 today. It was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Not much happened though and Im trying to get used to the art, which isnt horrible but isnt exactly my thing. I hope the next issue makes it a little more interesting. I also got Uncanny 500 and 501, and X-men Secret Invasion so Ill be able to comment on those too.

I am curious what the whole Ghost boxes thing is going to be. I'm not big on outer space stuff so I hope it's not that.....
