Astonishing X-Men
By Peter DavidPublisher Description
Based on the classic comic book series by Joss Whedon and John Cassady, a prose adaption of the X-Men as they reunite as super heroes against alien forces.
The X-Men are back. Except now, instead of outcasts shunned by the world for their mutant powers, Emma Frost is rebranding the team as super heroes poised to protect society by wielding their astonishing gifts. Just as Frost, Cyclops, Shadowcat, Beast, and Wolverine burst onto the scene, breaking news spreads around the world that a renowned geneticist has discovered a serum designed to “cure” mutants and allow them to live “normal” lives. For a band of outsiders, the lure of belonging is strong. But the price could mean the destruction of the X-Men once and for all. Just as an alien evil is unleashed—and just when humankind needs them more than ever . . .
This riveting novelization by New York Times–bestselling author Peter David adapts the acclaimed series created by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday.

“This book was alright. I’ve always been a fan of the X-men cartoon and comic books so I was looking forward to reading this. I thought the storyline was a little weak, and there was not enough action(although the last part of the book improved in this area). The pacing of the book was enough to keep me wanting to read the book.
Side not: I also think it would have been more appropriate to release the Dark Phoenix novelization prior to this one. Timeline wise this book takes place after the events of Dark Phoenix.”
