Writer: Charles Soule Artist/Cover: Jim Cheung Only the X-Men can save us! 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 there is no time left. Psylocke, Old Man Logan, Bishop, Archangel, Fantomex, Rogue and Gambit will attempt to save a world that hates and fears them. Why? Because they are the X-Men.
From writer Charles Soule joined by a roster of superstar artists beginning with Jim Cheung. ASTONISHING X-MEN. It’s the X-book you need.

Why is it, despite liking all of these characters except Fantomex, I can't help but think this is a shit line-up?
Connor Edwards

Nolan Evans

Ryan Rodriguez
Because we're all sick of Angel/Betsy drama. And Wolverine/Mystique drama. And Rogue/Gambit drama. And Rogue/Mystique drama. And Rogue/Gambit/Mystique drama.
Honestly all of the relationships in this roster are played out. It's like Guggenheim's line up, we've seen this all before.

>An ancient evil is attacking the world’s most powerful minds. Let me guess, Shadow King?
Joseph Peterson
Aint Old Man Logan already on two other teams?
Jaxon Brooks
Is it just me or is the inking on this really bad?
David Thompson
> Cheung putting in clearly more consistent work then he did on Axis... Good > Gambit Good > Mystique Good > OML Meh > Bisop Meh > Archangel Meh > Rogue Meh > Purple Bitch Fuck > Purple Bitch not being allowed to be sex to make up for not being likable... Insufferable cancer.
Brody Butler
When did Angel get his feather wings back?
>Boocoo Is he supposed to be saying "beaucoup" I know Gambit's french is Louisianan but that's just fucking awful
Can Rogue not touch people again? Are you fucking kidding me?
Carson Diaz
Just like the good old days when he was young.
Matthew Perry
Why is Wolferines head so big?
Hunter Cruz
Rogue, Bishop and Archangel are the only cool characters on this team how does Charles "death cloud is like peanut allergies" Soule get to write X-Men now
Charles Nelson
>Soule is still at Marvel
ffs Charles just give it up, come back and write Swamp Thing again. Your Marvel work is terrible.
Zachary Richardson
I am in for Cable, Bishop, Psylocke and my ol´ boy Fantomex.
They should change Logan with Deapdool.
Aaron Martinez
Soule peanut butter
Nathaniel Smith
allergy death synergy
Luis Phillips
poo poo Soule butter
Camden White
Shut the fuck up.
>Rogue, Gambit, Logan, Psylocke, Mystique, Fantomex, Archangel, Bishop >Cheung That sounds fucking aweso-- >Soule FUCKKKKKKKKKKK WHY THE FUCK IS HE NOT FIRED YET
Adam Adams
These prose are sound very Claremont-esque
Levi Phillips
I like the cast but is this the main X book or Gold?
Ayden Torres
Too bad it's pee nuts
Grayson Morales
It just seems inconsistent. The lines look heavy but the shadows are really minimal.
Jayden Diaz
So, are they gonna ignore the fact that Bishop is a mass murderer with the biggest body count for any hero that isn't Namor?
Jayden Barnes
I have such a love hate for Cheung... I love the way he draws things, but the more books with him I read, the more I realized he's absolutely shit at motion and fight scenes. All his characters are always leaping and flailing their hands around, but nothing ever has a sense of impact or contact, it's all so rigid and static, and every battle is nothing but large spread pages that look really pretty, but have characters doing fuck all into them. He's an incredibly talended artist but an incredibly shit storyteller.
Aiden Collins
>Is he supposed to be saying "beaucoup" I know Gambit's french is Louisianan but that's just fucking awful
I don't know if it's an americanism or a southernism but that is something people say for "a lot."
It never actually occurred to me that it came from beaucoup or how it was spelled, really.
Carson Roberts
Assuming that we're obviously ignoring all the Messiah Complex character dev, and getting back to basics... I really don't like the whole soldier analogy for Bishop as he's really just a future cop.
Daniel Jackson
I don't think Cheung's art is awful but it's too reminiscent of JRJR's shit
Ethan Foster
This just makes me think what a shit character young Angel is in comparison to Archangel.
Parker Rodriguez
Remender broke Rogue's powers again in Uncanny Avengers
But i thought that Duggan fixed that
Carter Hernandez
Ugh, that narration grates on my nerves. The roster is going to reach Days of Our Lives levels of melodrama.
Chase Sullivan
The one that sells more is the main X-book
Robert Kelly
This logic.
Isaac Powell
Why is Bishop back to his early 90s look?
What'd he do this time?
Leo Cooper
>So, are they gonna ignore the fact that Bishop is a mass murderer with the biggest body count for any hero that isn't Namor? They already forgot about that in Uncanny Xforce 2
Jackson King
8 pages of preview out of 20, maybe 24, is a lot.
Cheung always does this when unchecked
Xavier Hernandez
So, why he get away with everything, while Scott continues to be the most hated mutant in history, even in dead?
Juan Wilson
>World famous super hero >Robing the fucking Louvre >In broad daylight >In front of countless civies >blows up a wall >In Paris 2017 I'm starting to think all the mutant hate blame can be placed squarely on the fucking x-men
John Scott
Nah, Duggan just performed a WonderManectomy on Rogue.
Easton Evans
You would be correct. The X-Men have done more to foster hatred, mistrust, and fear of all mutantkind than any other group or organization.
Death to Mutants, Death to X-Men.
Bentley Wood
The writer said he is ignoring bad canon parts and its also loose cannon.
Zachary Russell
>Soule
no
Luis Russell
The tragic thing is that it's not even a joke. If one looks at all x-men stories from Onslaught to today, more than half are mess created by themselves. Not that the Avengers are better, but X-men are really disaster bearers and the fact that they admitting in their teams people of dubious moral does not help.
Xavier Reed
She kissed Deadpool, tried to kiss Gambit and apparently had an off panel fling with Johnny Storm
Zachary Gutierrez
>joined by a roster of superstar artists beginning with Oh. Oh, good. They're just gonna go full Savage Wolverine and play musical artists every fucking arc.
Andrew Walker
Your existence is clearly a very sad one.
Dylan Walker
also the same faces on everyone.
Jason Phillips
Remember when Marvel killed Logan? That didn't last long and he's in more books than ever now.
BUT BUT HES STILL DEAD THIS IS A DIFFERENT MARVEL
Ryder Gutierrez
He is right tho, Betsy a shit.
Jayden Murphy
Why the fuck is gambit robbing the fucking louvre in broad daylight
Thomas James
...
Adam Young
...
Joseph Lopez
One for Fantomex
Logan Campbell
Going by his last solo he does that kind of thing when he gets bored with X-Men stuff.
