I believe it's a 12 issue run. (For Joss at least. Not sure about the title.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Marvel has stepped away from massive X-title crossovers, so you probably can get the full story without scratching your head too much just by reading Astonishing's 12 issues...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In fact, all the X titles seem completely unrelated at this point.

I may have to seize the cat.
I was hoping for some Kitty Pryde in Joss's X-Men. As surprises no one, she's my favorite character. (What? A small, bookish, Jewish performer-type with headaches? No!) I'm so relieved to see she will be old school Kitty and not this new thing I've been told is Kitty. (I'm a bit of a crappy X-Men fan, as my current reading of comics has me only caught up to around 1984.)
ETA: Also the computer-nerd thing has no small part in my Kitty love, and where I see a big Kitty-Buffy parallel is dealing with superpowers while your parents are mid-divorce. All the while being expected to go to school, and trying to have a nice, normal life with a boyfriend who's too old for you. (Granted, there's a big difference between 200 years older than you and 5 or 6 years older than you, but still.) Which, by the way, I never forgave Colossus for Secret Wars. (I'm all out of order in my reading of X-Men related stories...)

Just a reminder to everyone that Tales of the Vampires #4 is supposed to be in the stores today.
There is also a decent interview with Sam Loeb, who wrote a story for issue #5, up at The Pulse.
Remember folks, it's not what you know, it's who you know.

Is there any way this isn't a dig at the first movie (white fonted):
Scott: Sorry Logan, Superheroes wear costumes. And quite frankly, all the black leather is making people nervous.

Art Crawl!!!
Once again -- I really liked the Jane Espenson story but actually both stories were good. I'm not sure I understand what it is that the kids have suddenly understood in the framing story.

Sumi, I think the vampire storyteller has mesmerised his captors, and they're bringing him the children as dinner.

Ah! Then I wonder why he hasn't also mesmerized the children -- or is this what the storytelling is all about?
