Astonishing X-Men

review 1: I didn't really enjoy this collection either. Leaving off from the last volume, the X-Men go off to find their missing teammate Karma, with shocking revelations.The story is disjointed, and the flashbacks that explain everything are near the end of the book.The villain is so over the top and evil that it didn't work for me, and by the book's end I didn't care about anyone. I didn't even recognize half the characters.(ps.)The healer characters Cece was pretty cool
review 2: I found this book to be lacking. Astonishing X-Men is suppose to be the best x-men by the best writers and artist. I like Marjorie Liu. She has written some good comics, this fell flat for me. I don't care about Northstar. I'm fine with him getting married to a man. I felt like this vol... moreume and the previous volume where just missing what made this comic great when it came out. I feel like this book should have been in the regular x-men title. Where you can use non-superstars. So let's recap who was in the book - Northstar, Iceman, Warbird, Gambit, Cecilia Reyes, Karma, Wolverine, and a very small part for beast. This is not an A team rosters. Cecilia Reyes is a d-list x-men. Karma is at best a c-list x-men. Warbird is very new to the x-men universe and I loved her in Wolverine and the X-Men. She has more depth there and a little bit of a different personality. Northstar is a b-list x-man at best. Wolverine was really not a major character in the book. That leaves you with Iceman and Gambit. Both fun characters. Plus the story revolved around Karma's family who I don't know because she's a New Mutant and not an X-Man.I fell like the story was okay. The art was decent. One problem, if you're a book that suppose to be drawn and written by superstars and star the best x-men, this book falls flat. This would have been a great Uncanny X-Men or regular X-Man story. I still wouldn't have thought it was awesome, but I wouldn't have been excepting something on the level of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday. Yes, that is where the bar is set for this comic and past volumes have not delivered. This comic was not astonishing. It was just regular x-men. less
