Score: 4.54 out of 5Grade: 91% (A+) | Astonishing Everything has led to this! Its the final push for the X-Men to astonish us, the world, and maybe even the universe. Here is my review of Astonishing X-Men Vol. 4: Unstoppable: The Good:The highlight of this book (and the series) is Kitty Pryde. Shes my favourite character, which is saying something because Wolverine has always been my #1 guy. But f***[sniff]Kittyall I can say is shes a motherf***ing badass and proved once again why her phasingThe final chapter in Joss Whedon's era of Astonishing X-Men comes to a satisfying close. After wandering a bit during the third story arc, the fourth arc sends the X-Men into outerspace with the fate of the world in their hands. Whedon brings together plot threads from his entire run into a satisfying, page-turning conclusion that I'm glad I read as a trade paperback instead of having to wait a month or months in between issues to get the full story and scope. A major character does shuffle off
The Breakworld space armada heads to intercept the S.W.O.R.D. ship carrying the X-Men - specifically Colossus, who is predicted to somehow destroy the Breakworld. The team makes it to the planet and begins trying to shut down the Breakworld's leader and the giant space bullet pointed at Earth.Joss Whedon's run ends with this excellent final volume, creating an epic and bittersweet conclusion while giving most of the X-Men heartfelt moments. The Breakworld and Danger plotlines are resolved as
The Whedon/Cassaday run ends moderately entertainingly. I suppose one could argue that them going yet again to the death/resurrection of a core character as a major plot element is evidence of just how bankrupt the superhero genre has become, though this time at least the overall narrative has built into it a sort of rationale for it (they resurrected Colossus, so if they think Cyclops has something useful for them, they'll resurrect him, too. Good thing for Cyclops that was correct!) of course
Holy. SHIT.My heart felt everything while reading this work of art. I am awe struck. To say that I loved all of the other volumes is so silly because that was just "like". Like when I liked a boy in the seventh grade. Volume four is PURE LOVE. I have no idea how they do it. How I feel everything that the X-Men are feeling. My god.You have Emma and Scott off being disgustingly in love. Kitty and Peter making bedroom eyes at each other around every frame. Even Brand and McCoy are doing their
the whedon/cassaday run goes out with a bang, but, like the rest of his run, a bang as dissonant as it is compelling.the fundamental dilemma of the run is taken to its logical extreme here. as usual, you can't put the book down for the panel-to-panel dialogue, art, action, and character development. of special interest here is the great writing of scott summers, the establishment of hisako as a part of the x-canon, and the fleshing-out of abigail brand.but as with volumes 2 and 3, the overall
