If you ever read the classic Claremont/Byrne X-Men stuff, then you'll love this book! The X-Men have sucked for the most part these last 15 years and its so refreshing to have an
X-Book on the shelves again that I run to get gleefully like I used to as a kid! Click here to get the collected Astonishing X-Men!Now, with that said, WTF is with the upcoming issue 17's cover? UGH!!!! Worst cover ever.
JIM SMASH!!
But seriously, despite that ONE bad cover, the comic ROCKS!

God Loves ..Man Kills (graphic Novel) is a nice read.
Also- if you can get your hands on the Original Genosha story line,....it's pretty sweet.
Don't listen to Maker, he's a huge fan of ULTIMATE X-MEN and X-23.
JUST KIDDING, MAN! haha
Yeah, GOD LOVES, MAN KILLS is a great read. I didn't see it on Amazon, which is why I didn't list it. Is it out of print? Surely Marvel would have reprinted it when X-Men 2 (movie) came out????
I don't think the Original Genosha storyline has been printed yet, but they should be easy enough to find in the back issue bins of a comic book shop at relatively affordable prices. They are UNCANNY X-MEN #235-238. Pics of covers are available here: http://www.comics.org/covers.lasso?seriesID=2605&skip=50&show=50
There ARE some "God Loves, Man Kills" on Amazon, but are used and apparently "rare", so they are expensive ($30).
Also, they have listed "X-Treme X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills".... DO NOT BUY THAT!!! It is actually a "sequel" of sorts and really stupid. It's a collection of stories from "X-Treme X-Men" a short lived monthly title. It is NOT Uncanny X-Men. Buyer beware.
Jim, the "X-Treme X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills" does contain the original "God Loves, Man Kills" story tacked on as a backup story.
whoa, really?
I did not know that.
Thanks, Frank!
Have you read the latest issue of Astonishing - the one that came out today? It will explain the cover, and while I haven't finished it, I'm already saying "What the F#%*k??"
No, I haven't had a chance to run out and get it yet. Don't say anything! La-la-la-la-la...!!
:)
