2.52 (417) Astonishing X-Men vol 1 #29 ... Marvel ...

If there is one new artist from the Marvel pages that seemed to explode from day one with pure line goodness, it is Simone Bianchi. We have never seen his early works as he does it elsewhere and by the time Marvel found him BANG he hit the pages running, so to speak and this issue proves it

The interiors are as exquisite as the covers and Simone does not waste space. If you look at the clothes, he even thinks through what type of material and thus what time of stretching lines and folds it will have. He also crafted additional accessories for his characters and when you flip within the covers, he decorates the entire page and not just the space within similar to what Mark Buckingham and Chris Bacchalo would do

In short, it's AWESOME

As for this tale, well, it is part of a story arc and we see the X-Men finally tracking down the ones who were giving them a hard time. But the only challenge is that WTF is going on? Are there aliens invading Earth and the ones they have been fighting are actually on the side of the human race? Is there even a side?

And o yes what is Forge doing in the middle of all this?
