(SPOILER)
Preview tomorrow's release of Astonishing X-Men #14.
You've already seen John Cassaday's stellar art but now there's sparkling Joss Whedon dialogue as well.

I would love to see him write Rogue and Gambit.

Cassaday's take on Jean Grey is interesting too. I have Byrne's version tattooed in my brain, but Cassaday has such a way with consistently distinct faces.

X-men has an issue every month as well. I don't know about sales.

And we have reason to be optimistic--both Uncanny and 'adjectiveless' are getting new creative teams this summer, and the writers lined up are Ed Brubaker and Mike Carey. Ed Brubaker is probably my favorite comic writer of the moment (Joss just doesn't write enough comics to earn that title) and Mike Carey, aside from having written the amazing Lucifer series, is a huge Joss-fan. ;-)

On another note, does anyone know more about what exactly Joss contributed on Civil War? It was discussed somewhat in this month's Wizard, but I was wondering if there was another article out there that went into more depth.

Telltale...Ed Brubaker is going to be writing an X-book? Holy shit! WOO! I am tres excited. His Captain America is the best version of Cap I've ever read, and in only three issues, his work on Daredevil has already been phenomenal.
And to whoever mentioned Robert Kirkman...yes, The Walking Dead is genius (I've only read the Vol. 1 TPB), but I don't care much for Marvel Team-Up.

Ouch.
Best. Line. Ever. between Scott and Emma-as-Jean.
But ouch.

Love when these X-ladies remember they are really the most powerful mutants and stop acting like defenseless,lovesick wall flowers.

Actually what I wished was for the scene to be filmed by actors -- it felt like a dream sequence from "Restless". Wonderfully evocative and eerie.

Another title Joss mentioned liking is Runaways by Brian K. Vaughan. That one takes place in the Marvel universe but has many new twists on the superhero team thing.
Kyle Baker's very cartoony take on Plastic Man also made the Joss list, I seem to recall. PM is goofy but pure fun.
I'm just curious how many of the whedonesque comic book addicts have ventured into these titles and what do you think of them?

Wasn't Plastic Man cancelled, Hjermsted? It was a vastly underrated book, but one hell of an enjoyable read.
I actually haven't gotten into Powers as yet, though I've heard of the book.
Emma Frost | April 26, 00:51 CET
There was a story conference where some of Marvel's writers and editors were discussing Civil War, but they were having trouble finding a good ending. Then Joss came in, said hey, why not do this and this, and everyone thought it was genius. :-)
The Harcover:
Beautifully produced, and besides that, worth it for Joss's emails alone. I do hope he'll get around to some of those original ideas. Especially the 'gayathon' one, of course, and the one about instead of having the X-Men *do* stuff, having them just watch it on CNN and talking about it.
Kirkman:
Also good, yes, but I've soured a bit on The Walking Dead since I started hating the main character, and his Ultimate X-Men stuff has the misfortune of following on my favorite run on that book. Invincible's great, though.
Powers:
Oh yes, also a terrific book with complicated but cool characters. (And what other book can say it had a whole issue devoted to prehistoric apes? Talk about awesome...) ;-)
Plastic Man:
Was indeed cancelled. Not really my cup of tea, but highly regarded by the few who read it.

Needless to say, from production to content, it's excellent. My only regret is that I wish they'd included Joss' original pitch, as they did Morrison's for the New X-Men HC.
ReneRitchie | April 26, 08:55 CET
Joss is the X-writer of the decade.
