Astonishing
Given that I'm in town for WonderCon, I decided to head along, check out the comics, check out the panels. It's my first American convention, and even though it's not one of the really big ones, it's bigger by far than any UK one I've been to. Somehow I wasn't prepared for the costumes.
One panel I really wanted to get along to was Joss Whedon's Serenity panel, and I'm glad I did, because at the outset he called up onto the stage the artist for his run on Astonishing X-Men and they officially announced that they're going to do a second year on the comic, and a 'Giant-Sized Astonishing X-Men Annual #1" to go with.
And I was there in the room when it happened....
PS - Serenity (the big screen follow-on from his short-lived TV series Firefly) looks pretty damn cool.
