If i am asked what my favourite comic ever is i have 2 answers. One is planetary and the other is Astonishing X-Men

There's 3 things these comics have in common.

1 - The writers, Ellis and Whedon, have both turned out to be a wee bit problematic.

2 - Both are coloured by the excellent Laura Depuy/Martin.

3 - They're both drawn by the amazing John Cassaday who is definitely in my top 3 artists of all time. He's probably top tbh. He's gonna be missed.

If you've never read Planetary you REALLY should.

Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men, Episode 465 - Right in the Fabric

In which “Astonishing X-Men” is something of a misnomer; Death has a good look; sometimes you just need a guy who swoops; Miles stops worrying and learns to love Nate Grey; Telekinesis is silly looking; “Wolverine” dies; and nothing really changes.
