Astonishing X-Men #30

I don’t really get why everyone seems to hate Simone Bianchi, but the haters can rest easy now that his time on this book is done.

Ellis went with some rather weird pacing on this arc, which forced him to pack quite a bit into this last issue.  Bat-shit-insane Forge, “New Mutants,” a brief (maybe) explanation of where the ghost boxes are going, etc. each could have taken up much more page time.  Instead, they all got shoe-horned into this book, with the result that we don’t really get as much info as we’d like.

Still a pretty cool ending to a pretty crazy story.  Also, If you’d asked me to make a sworn statement, I’d have said the word “zettawatt” was made up.  It isn’t.
