Though the Astonishing X-Men series ran from 2004 to 2013, Marvel has only given Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s run on the series the Ultimate Collection treatment. I found Book 1 to be great overall, with the Gifted storyline being one of the best X-Men tales ever. Book 2 may not hit the highs of its predecessor, but it still delivers one of the better X-Men reads out there.
All is more or less still quiet on the video game front, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Having that extra free time has been beneficial for going to the gym or playing hoops. Hopefully, I’ll be able to turn some of that extra free time into a better body, but I certainly wouldn’t turn down any hot video games if there were any of interest coming my way.
In the meantime, things are only heating up on the comics side. April has been a great month for expanding my collection with back catalogue books while sampling some of the newer stuff that’s outside of my current reading list. With May being the month for the next installments of Batman, All New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men and X-Men, things are only going to pick up from here. Check out the April stash below!
