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favorite artists, but I think all the intricate details in pieces like this made me worry he might be… socially withdrawn?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.”
