Astonishing X-Men #1

Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator/writer Joss Whedon and fan favorite artist John Cassaday combine their considerable talents to reimagine the X-Men.

After too long a period Kitty Pryde decides to go back to the X-Mansion to attend the opening day of a new class of young mutants.  She is to be part of the teaching staff at the mansion run by Scott Summers and Emma Frost.

Arriving at the mansion Kitty can’t help but reminisce about her time as an X-Men.

Unfortunately her trip down Memory Lane makes her late for the ceremony. A fact that Emma Peel is none too happy about.

After a brief apology the commencement begins.  Emma begins her speech and out of no where a group of Sentinels crash the event.

Only they were not real but a hologram projection intended to startle the students and make them realize mutants are feared and sometimes the victims of violence.

Later Wolverine interrupts Scott and Emma's in their bedroom resulting in Scott and Wolverine causing a ruckus for all the students to see.

After things settle down Scott realizes it is this sort of action that humans fear.

So he proposes that the X-Men (and mutants as a whole) present themselves as heroes much like The Avengers and The Fantastic Four.

Donning new costumes (sans the black) the group heads out to promote their new appearance.

Good intensions aside the new strategy may not work as about that same time a new mutant terrorist group strikes.

Matthew 21:22 - And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
