We wrap up our X-Men series with Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s “Astonishing X-Men” series. In volume one, we see the return of Colossus after years of torture at the hands of the villain Ord and the Danger Room awakens as its own self-formed sentient A.I. But that’s just plot. The wonderful stuff here are the characters and their relationships. That, and some of the best X-Men art we’ve ever seen.

We bring our X-Men arc to the current age in comics by reading “New X-Men, Vol.1” by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. In this story, a mutant/spirit thing/space entity tried to obliterate all life on Earth. Or maybe just Professor X because he tried to kill it in the womb. But hey, what happens between two fetuses can’t be judged. Is this starting to weird for you? Yeah, us too. Thanks, Mr. Morrison!

We jump forward about 50 years from last week by reading the “Ultimate Galactus Trilogy,” a tome of a story arc spanning three miniseries and a one-shot. It’s a huge tale with a long, savory buildup. But do we like these Ultimates or do we want our old helmet-head back? For more information on past or upcoming episodes, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!
