Wacky, Abstract Mondays: They will Astonish.

Being an uber fan of X-comics, I truly had to mention my love for Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men series. It was a story arc filled with intriguing plots, like the controversial rebirth of Colossus. Chapters including a twisted, sentient Cerebro and outer space bouts. Joss really depicted how powerful each mutant on the team was in this story-line and he also wrote with a great sense of humor. The issue where the team finds Colossus is remarkable and Emma, Wolverine and Beast confirm it is him at the same time because of Emma's telepathy and Hank/Logan's sense of smell. Subsequently, Colossus and Kitty sleep together in another issue and she phases through the bed and to the lower floor. This series displayed action and humor and I would expect nothing less from the writer of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer. Here is an interesting web video dedicated to The Astonishing X-Men.
