Astonishing X-Men, Vol. 3 by Joss Whedon

Review Excerpt: 'Why DC decided it was time to undo one of the greatest comic book stories of all time is enough to make you scratch your head why they chose to hire a first-time comic book writer (Heroes executive producer Michael Green) to do so is just plain baffling. We got as many books up as we could - we'll be back tomorrow with a few more!! Our database decided to kill itself in some sort of two hour ritual. Our previous rating categories were simply too broad, with many 'Good Check Its' and 'Bad Check Its' frustrating readers who wanted to definitively know if something was worthwhile or not. 3.0 - 3.9 is 'Awful'), allowing us to indicate if this book was close to jumping a step higher or lower.

Reviewers adding a second opinion will offer their take on the score. We'll also be updating all of our bios by the time next week's column rolls off the production line.Īlso changing is the addition of secondary scores. Each of them contributed a couple reviews this week to get their feet wet. We'll get working on some bios for these guys so that you can familiarize yourself with their tastes and personalities. We're adding a couple new faces to the team this week, Daniel Crown and Bryan Joel.
