Alright, time to take a look at the books with the most promise, shipping to comic shops this Wednesday…

Pick of the Week

Astonishing X-Men #25 - The X-Men flagship title gets reloaded with Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s departure. The appropriate and exciting choice for the follow-up: Warren Ellis, with art by Simone Bianchi. Should be fun.
