Comics, comics, comics

My local comicstore finally unhanded Astonishing X-Men #15. Which is as good a point as any to mention that in my quest to catch up on comicverse canon, I also read the legendary Dark Phoenix saga and the collected titled Imperial from Grant Morrison's run (which gave me some background on Cassandra Nova that was useful to have, as well as some great Jean and Emma scenes). Regarding the Dark Poenix collection, interesting not just because of the, shall we say, mixed result the movieverse take on it was but also because it very clearly influenced both Joss (see also: Willow) and JMS (see also: Lyta Alexander):

( The First Readhead To Go Goddess )

As for Imperial:

( Redhead: The Return )

I alsao read Origin, the Wolverine backstory, about which I only have to say: someone watched Fool For Love, did they? So, armed with this new background knowledge, I squeed at getting my hand at Astonishing X-Men #15.

( In which Joss continues his mindmessing )

Next issue, please! What do you mean, two more months?
