ANNOUNCED!
I’m writing a done-in-one story for ASTONISHING X-MEN #43!
It’s a huge honor (pronounced: pressure) to write a title started by Joss Whedon, and continued by Warren Ellis. Only two of my favorite writers in the English language.
Luckily, I’ll have the aid of NICK BRADSHAW (artist from my Uncanny X-Men Annual) and a cover by comics legend ART ADAMS!!
<— Check it out.
I am thrilled to be doing this! And I promise great character moments, clandestine activities, two surprise character involvements, and crazy-town visuals from Nick! Seriously, ask your comic shop to order & hold you a copy 
ASTONISHING X-MEN #43
Written by JAMES ASMUS
Pencils by NICK BRADSHAW
Cover by ARTHUR ADAMS
Join us for a special told-in-one story with Emma Frost and Danger delivering on a promise back in ASTONISHING X-MEN #24. Don’t miss this confrontation that has been brewing since 2008!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

And on a related note, I met Art Adams at San Diego Comic Con this last weekend – and he was a fantastic guy! He has long been one of my absolute favorite artists, but I think all the intricate details in pieces like this made me worry he might be… socially withdrawn?
I couldn’t have been more wrong. The man was charming, intelligent, and kind. I can honestly say this issue is going to be another personal treasure for me as a result of everyone involved, and the legacy of the title.
But hopefully, the rest of you will at least think “it doesn’t suck.”
Congrats! You write an awesome Emma so consider this BOUGHT!
I was extremely and violently happy when I saw October solicitations! James Asmus writing Emma again? I’ve already ordered my copy.
A little Q: will you be permanent writer, or is this a one-shot thing? I’m holding my fingers that it’s a former….
Thank you! Though, I hope your happy-violence was only inflicted on inanimate objects and/or the morally corrupt.
Hurt parties within 5 mile radius were telepathically rendered with delirious experience. The world was never same for them again.
I love that your partner in crime is Bradshaw. That’s the stuff my X-dreams are made of. There’s no doubt in my mind that you’re going to deliver ASTONISHING.
In James Asmus I trust.
