Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I'm so impressed with his pencils I might just NOT take a year between issues.

No problem if you take your time. John can use the free time to work on Planetary, the title you stole him off (not that I'm bitter or anything).

Nah, just joshing. (Joshing Joss? Is that that an alliterative crime against grammar?)

Megan, nope. It is part of the X-Men Reloaded event that comes out in a few months. May or June, I think

Edited to add....

It has a May release date

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awww, look Joss pimps his comic with love.

Now if he'll only assure us that Alan and Ron will be on the Firefly movie we'll be able to glow right into the Wonderfalls premiere.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Awww, look Joss pimps his comic with love.

Making fans squirm with anticipation is Joss' mutant power.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And naming people Bill.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So is Astonishing a new title? Is it going to be tied in with the other titles, or is this a whole, alternate timeline (X-titles got so hard to keep track of during my brief hardcore comics phase that it was one of the reasons I got out of it).

And I still LOVE Astounishing as a typo.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Though it will be interesting. Kitty's two main foils/relationships in the series were Colossus and Illyana (Magik), and with them both gone (Illyana to the Legacy virus and Peter to the cure for the Legacy virus) and her acriminious relationship with Emma (hah!) dating back to the Hellion days, it'll be interesting to say the least.

Astonishing is a new title, tied in with the main X-men/Marvel universe. Not a standalone like Ultimate X-men that Bryan Singer is doing

Thanks CaBil.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Woo hoo!!! We'll be getting the real Kitty Pryde back!

Joss, do you plan to do any cameos with Kitty's favorite band, Cats Laughing, at any point? Right back when Excaliber was starting up (before the big makeover that diluted much of Kitty's specialness), the writers were playing her up as the band's equivalent to Little Willow with the Mutant Enemy folks.
