Does Astounishing fit with current continuity or is it out-of-canon? I know it's a new title, but is it tied in with current X-titles (not that I'm reading anything else, just curious)?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Mmm, I was wrong about Miller's series being in-continuity.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Astonishing is at the center of the X-Books, pretty much, and is very much in continuity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I quite liked the Ultimate X-Men annual, not least of because I'm all for killing characters, even ones I kinda like. And I hope that in this universe they can stay dead too.
I can't remember what's happening in the main title, so perhaps that's not a good thing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Read Wonder Woman #220 yesterday -- it went pretty much as I expected. I thought it was pretty decent, though.
Also read Robin #14whatever (I know; Willingham blah blah jerkfacecakes, but it was still on my pull list, and I hate giving stuff back to the comic guy and telling him I don't want it) -- and I gotta say, I was LOVING the
Tim/Kon OTP 4EVah!!! With the flirting banter! And the "Let's get you back to my love shack apartment."!!!
Ahem.

Yes, and then I started again, because....I can't remember why, actually.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I started again, because...
TIMMEH!!
