I've been reading Astonishing since Joss Whedon, but honestly I've been on the brink of dropping it for more than a year. Every time I'm about to drop the title something happens or someone talks me into keeping it for one more arc.

This arc looks like it could be interesting though. Reyes, Karma and Northstar don't get used much. Also Reyes and Northstar were missing of the line-up breakdown pages, so I guess this confirms both on East Coast X-Men? Wolverine doesn't been to be in any more titles, and it's honestly a bit of a deterrent for me if he is in the title. Iceman and Gambit I could take or leave; neither has been very interesting lately. And I agree with you about Warbird: way too new for me to care about her.

I'm not a big Chimera fan, but I don't hate her either. I really enjoyed Vanisher on X-Force, so hopefully he'll still be cool. Scalphunter is probably a good guess cause he's not super married to Utopia. Are there any other former Marauders on Utopia? Mastermind sisters could both be potentials. I don't think they've done anything since Pixie Strikes Back or the Sisterhood.

What less has Liu written that's good? I've only read her X-23, and I was crazy about it. Anyways, looks interesting. Is this permanent staffing slash focus change or will the book switch back and forward every arc?
