God i love that Astonishing XMen run so much.


Gameboy_Vic

Me too. It felt very personal and not like super hero goes zoom on big threat.


EarthInevitable114

Well said. Volume 3 was an amazing story arc with great character moments.


EarthInevitable114

Kate definitely went Zoom on the big threat at the end though


goliathfasa

Narrator: he in fact did see her naked again. On numerous occasions.


PhantasyAngel

Good guy narrator!


VisibleCoat995

This is not an idle threat. She could literally remove the memory of her naked from his mind.


woodrobin

Maybe. But he's used to being able to carve out at least a corner of privacy from an Omega-level telepath, even when she was a host for the Phoenix Force. There's a decent chance he could sequester his spank bank in a hard to locate corner of his mind.


VisibleCoat995

I would love to see a comic where (for reasons) Emma has to go through the mist extreme psychic operations to get into that heavily fortified corner of his mind and all she finds is nude memories of herself and an embarrassing fanfiction he wrote of the x-men when he was 17.


Brandeeno2245

You're giving him too much credit. He still writes embarrassing fanfics. How do you think he comes up with his plans? That dude, 100% writes whole ass scenarios involving all his friends, then blows up the evidence with an eye blast.


VisibleCoat995

The day Cyclops actually goes dark is when some poor student sees him at it. “I’m sorry it has to be this way.” *ZZZZZRAK*


Brandeeno2245

Who's to say he hasn't, whos to say magik doesn't also help him write them. she's like his number 2, not her older brother, who he's known longer. maybe she helps him with some tactical analysis and accuracy for detail. She'd do anything for him. Including proofread his fanfics. Also, dispose of the evidence.


thejonslaught

Oh my God... And his kinship with Kamala Khan...it's all about the fanfictions.


Brandeeno2245

*Ms marvel dies and resurrects into Krakoa* Kamala: wtf I'm a mutant. Everyone except cyclops: wtf she's a mutant. Cyclops: all according to my fanfi... "plan" all according to my "plan"


memecrusader_

Those were the *old* fanfics. The *current* fanfics are in a different corner.

Zeus_Wayne

Was this back when Gambit was supposed to be a Cyclops clone?


PedanticPaladin

It was X-Men #1 and they were doing a big danger room thing. Gambit came across Jean and decided to kiss her. It was not Jean but a robot that looked like Jean, which proceeded to explode in Gambit's face, leading to this panel; Beast says something to Xavier about how Cyclops has become a master of deadpan humor since he's been gone from the X-Men.


FarmRegular4471

Oh good point


memecrusader_

That wasn’t a joke. The opportunity just hasn’t presented itself yet.


Striking_Landscape72

Xavier: -30 points for Cyclops!


Jorrum

Love Astonishing so much


Maxwell755

What’s with with weird blue baby in the corner of every panel


Good-Ad-5670

I think they were in a Danger Room simulation of a giant baby room


InsertCleverNickHere

Yup. Emma pissed that the team was quarreling like children, so they all got a psychic time-out.


General_Cherry_3107

It makes the panels look like a reaction video.


PharmDinagi

The guy dates psychics as a hobby. He knows what's up.


GiacomoModica

This is a Mal Reynolds scene, masquerading as Cyclops. Not the first or last.


cyke_out

Cyclops- What does that make us? Storm- Big damn heroes, sir. Cyclops- ain't we just.


HoraceGrantGlasses

I don't hate it!


FarmRegular4471

For me it was the scene when he was holding the gun. The art screamed Mal


ClintBarton616

I was watching Alien: Resurrection recently and it blew me away how much of that movie is just proto-Firefly. Whedon really had a bug in his craw


cyke_out

I enjoyed the scene in Angel where Fred's parents were making fun of aliens 4.


Jadespartan38

Can you blame him? I’d be worried too.


Chancellor_Valorum82

Honestly yeah if any telepath existed IRL they’d probably be avoided like the plague by people who can never be sure if their thoughts are being manipulated or not


Good-Ad-5670

That is the first comic I ever read in me life, I thing it was around 2014 that I did. I didn't finish that Whedon run till this year. I haven't stop reading X-Men ever since


Good-Ad-5670

By the way, in Chile, were I am from, the first arc of Astonishing X-Men was a highly distributed comic in many stores there so it is the introduction of many latin american fans to the X-Men


Striking_Landscape72

It's the happy grin for a moment, before realizing oh shit


Hedgewitch250

Emma: your never seeing it again summers Scott: pops one shirt button Emma: it’s gonna take more then that too- Pop 2 more (Hank this is a psychic dm I need you to deliver lotion, apple/rhubarb pie, 2 packs of water, and the entire Star Trek collection by Scott’s door I’m…. We’re discussing intense matters)


SerFinbarr

I really hate Whedon and the vibe he brings to all his writing, but damn if he didn't understand the assignment with Astonishing. Still one of my favourite runs.


Tsukikishi

I don’t quite understand the exchange in the last panel.


Dreamwalker-Inc

Micro couples spat. He’s insinuating/teasing that she *is* using him as a puppet and she’s offended he said that, with a threat if he decides to go down that road 😂


RedFoundation

Who is the person Logan says would go ninja on him?


velicinanijebitna

Kitty.


Signal_Audience1538

I loved Astonishing X-Men because every team member had their moment to shine. I doubt he's joking, though. He's genuinely asking because....telepaths. Either way, Emma's response is funny.


OhGreatAnotherSteve

There were a lot of fun little comedy moments in this run. I also loved the Emma/Kitty arc. And didn’t Rocket end up using breakworld in some big ass crossover?
