@ Pop Syndicate-- Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Box (tpb)
"X-Men stories live or die based on their relationship to the past and continuity, both cruel mistresses to all comic book writers. But, looking at his first Astonishing X-Men story, that’s not a mistress that Ellis seems at all interested in."
You can read the full review at Pop Syndicate. Like so many stories nowadays, this is one of those that reads much better as a collection than it did as individual issues. The combination of Ellis & Bianchi produce a fairly fun story actually, more of a pop story that Ellis used to claim that superhero comics could and should be.
