Marvel comics I've read recently (spoilery for 2005 stuff)

Astonishing X-men: I like it a lot. Cassaday’s art is not quite as pretty as in Planetary, but that’s really me being critical. Character moments are both amusing and endearing. This makes me want to read more about Kitty - any recs? (even if it’s obvious Whedon is very much writing her as one of his, I’m a Joss fan and he makes enough references

Whedon does write a pretty cool Emma. :D

For Kitty, the only good thing for her outside of Astonishing I've read yet would be old Claremont stuff. (Joss writes her as one of his, and it's obviously he was a lot influenced by old X-Men in the first place, especially Kitty, in the way he ended up writing his own so XD)

Yeah, Yost & Kyle really didn't earn good will with all the children killing (and torturing x_x). Yet I can't help liking stuff from their run (the Illyana story! Julian & Laura's awkward relationship! Anole & Pixie getting to do things! Laura & Cessily's friendship!) They totally gave the Mean Ball to Emma, though x_x

I'm pretty much with you. That much death normally makes me dislike a comic, but the stories were good enough that I still like the run.

And they ended up fleshing out some of the most interesting NXM.
