Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men

A back-to-basics approach that combined classic superhero storytelling with sharp character work. Whedon brought Colossus back from the dead, introduced the mutant cure storyline, and wrote the definitive modern Kitty Pryde. Cassaday's widescreen art made it one of the best-looking X-books ever published.
