Shortbox Summary Issue 011 - We Have to Astonish Them (Astonishing X-Men [2004] 1-6)

from Shortbox Summary · host George Loftus

The X-Men already had their big 2000's punch-you-in-the-face run thanks to Grant Morrison and co's New X-Men run from 2001, so, what comes next? A sequel! Picking up on some of the biggest threads from that seminal run, writer Joss Whedon (boo) and artist John Cassaday (yay) put together one of the most important comics Marvel printed in the 2000's. Who is Ord? What is Breakworld? Why does that woman have green hair? Is that a f'n dragon? We answer all these questions and more on the newest episode of Shortbox Summary!
