"I've got to say, I'm really disappointed with this story. The last volume of this four volume comic continues the plot of the first, but the middle two are entirely filler. The story itself isn't too great anyway! It's a standard superhero plot (evil aliens are out to destroy the world and only the X-Men can stop them). I can definitely tell that Astonishing X-Men was written by Joss Whedon, though. You can always tell be the clever dialog. The art is fantastic....for the first issue. While I was really impressed by the coloring at the beginning, I could tell part way through the first volume where things were going. For the first few issues the art is good but it ended up getting worse and worse until it just looked like another average superhero comic. I'm not sure if they changed the colorist or not, but the it's a shame that they couldn't maintain the same quality art. Astonishing X-Men's meandering plot and generic art doesn't stand out in the crowded superhero comics business. Unless you're a hardcore X-Men fan, I can't recommend this to any one, even if it is written by Whedon."
"This was a tad of a let down for the second volume. The Danger Room fighting them back was a bit sad for me because it was boring. I didn't care who really lived and who really died."
"Solid X-men story that plays to a broad audience (not too young and not too mature). Requires a bit of background knowledge of the characters but probably easily to overcome if you read vol. 1."
"Nice story line but not a tight as Vol. 1 of the Astonishing X-Men. I found the story to be a bit confusing and am sure that this arc, the Danger Room going nuts, has already been written. Joss Whedon does give Danergous (or the Danger Room)a nice twist. I also like the direction of Emma Frost and The Beast and am curious how it will play out in future releases...The art is again wonderful."
