Top Five Month continues with a slightly different list. This time, I’m just counting which X-Men have appeared on the most covers of the X-Men titles (Uncanny X-Men #1-66,94-499, X-Men #1-207, X-Treme X-Men #1-46, Astonishing X-Men #1-25 and all the Annuals of those books).

CBR has the covers to this months' X-Men #500 - including a nice one of some prominent X-Ladies: Nice work as always from Terry Dodson, who apparently didn't read the end of Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run, since Kitty Pryde is cheerfully phasing through the floor of the team's new home. Then again as Psylocke's off dimension-hopping in New Exiles I guess it's more symbolic than anything else -...

I was cheerfully reading Astonishing x-Men 25, the new Warren Ellis & Simone Bianchi (must get review done later. Maybe) when this caught my eye: Wolverine - Origins # 27 Twenty Seven? Twenty bloody seven? That's not an origin, that's an entire life story.

I'm in a bit of a quandary. It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Warren Ellis, but this last week's first issue of his and Simone Bianchi's run on Astonishing X-Men was....well, not that astonishing. What I wanted was a genuine Warren Ellis TM take on the mutant mainstays, a step beyond the norm - kind of what he did on Excalibur way back when. Maybe not as 'out there' and disjointed as his work on...
