With geek icon Joss Whedon recently in the news for...well, let's just say "reasons," there's probably no better time than now to re-examine his classic X-Men epic, the Eisner Award winning "Astonishing X-Men." In 2004, in the wake of Grant Morrison's groundbreaking "New X-Men" run, Marvel was looking for another superstar writer to take the reins of their merry mutants, and bring the X-Men back to a more classic direction. Enter the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER creator Whedon, who - along with incredible artist John Cassaday - delivered one of the biggest and most beloved runs of the franchise ever. Now, Trev & Joe look back at Whedon and Cassady's entire "Astonishing X-Men" run, re-visiting each of the four main story-lines, how they feel about the arc's classic moments (including an unforgettable resurrection), and which characters they feel Whedon handled particularly well. Plus, some discussion of how recent revelations about Whedon the man might influence how fans now regard this and other Whedon works.

But first - talk of Jessica Chastain's recent bombshell that she is NOT playing Lilandra in X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX (including speculation of who she must be playing instead), rumors of Fox being unsure of Simon Kinberg's directorial skills, and the big news that Drew Goddard will write and direct the now confirmed X-FORCE movie. All this, and more!
