Astonishing X-Men is the name of three X-Men comic book series from Marvel Comics, the first two of which were limited series. The ongoing series began in 2004, with its first run written by Joss Whedon and art by John Cassaday.

[@comics_explained]

Should have clarified, we are still doing our other stuff like Injustice, DC Rebirth and so on, but I'm adding X-Men as a second video on our Marvel days.

[@Zeus-gl2tf]

ComicsExplained ok

[@Ali_M3]

ComicsExplained I love the X- Men but the continuity is so confusing. Watching your videos makes it a lot easier to understand, thanks

[@bigdurk4115]

ComicsExplained hey Rob are you going to cover the milestone charaters

[@poppyharlov6853]

ComicsExplained hey rob since Spider-Man has finished are we doing Thor next

[@ericallen5677]

@ComicsExplained Its not too complicated to place Astonishing X-Men, Rob. Although it was never meant to be the main, cannon x-book, it sort of just became it out of fan demand. But... "Gifted" and "Dangerous" happen first, then "House of M", then "Torn" and "Unstoppable"

[@brenden6734]

The most heartbreaking moment in that comic was when Colossus thought he had finally died and went to heaven when he saw Kitty.

[@victorgonzalez2927]

Colossus is a bad ass and one of my favorite characters in the X-Men. He is the hope, he is the honor, he is a valiant protector of the ones he loves. Totally love this issue of the X-Men.

[@jonnymj]

If only he was a chick, he would be given extra OP powers and not used to only highlight other characters... i.e. Kitty and Magik.

[@jonnymj]

@@nickdogg7320 so this was 2 years ago and aparently accurate! The future female version of Colossus 'Rasputin' in Powers of X was given OP powers lol

[@seekeroftruth45]

@@jonnymj and the trend is still going on lol.

[@worm6437]

@@jonnymj yep

[@9493waltbabyluv]

Colossus is one of my favorite X-Men characters. I can't help but click on any of his videos

[@remaster1981]

Same here. I just started to familiarize myself with him and i am loving it.

[@kennethjones7520]

Hell yea brother

[@coreyhackett7770]

just wanted to say Rob that i really appreciate the content you put out. I really like the marvel stories and don't always have the money for the comics. Your content is A+!

[@mikegould6590]

Corey Hackett Well met and seconded

[@blackromulan]

Colossus has always been my all-time favorite comic book character since the 80s, bar none. All hail Joss Whedon!!!

[@rowevintolentino1083]

YES please do the X men Chronologically cos I already tried doing it myself and I just gave up on where to start.

[@Azarath304]

Rowevin Tolentino agreed, I am also very interested. I think the x-men cartoon got a lot of us started with comics.

[@nandoginkaku7610]

Rowevin Tolentino start of with grant morrison's new x-men. right at the beginning of the 21st century is the birth of the greatest x-men run in that time.

[@NicksHellHole]

because you're literally incapable of doing research, you dumb fuck.

[@rowevintolentino1083]

I actually did.... and It's confusing on which stories intersect chronologically. Some sites say this, some sites say that.

[@NicksHellHole]

release order.

[@pablox91]

The end of this run with Unstoppable made me cry. One of the best xmen stories I've ever read

[@matthewfocheezy8740]

keep dropping x men knowledge. love it

[@docnine45]

Nice trip down memory lane, I remember my jaw hitting the floor with the reveals. And I can't believe how old this is, and how young I was then.

[@magnetostwink389]

Yesss Keep doing X-men Stories!!!!

[@jjones2417]

I grew up on X-Men, late 80s, 90s, in the shadow of Claremont. Glad you covered this, X-Men got me into comics. Love the channel. Good work.

[@Lurqr]

Love this. I am an OG. Started reading marvel back in 69, collected X-men, and all X-books, until 90 - 92. My kids are all grown, and out, and now I am looking to get back into my childhood love. Your videos are mana, your storytelling reminds me of me giving background when my kids found what was left of my old collection, on about 2k of books I could not sell before getting a family. You are boss, for a kid. :)

[@antwan1357]

Colossus was my favorite underdog back in the day predictable poetic and sincere.

[@theonlymatthew.l]

Rob, I'm quite happy ur doing Whedon's run on X-men, I always felt it was underrated. Keep up the excellent work.

[@MrChuck3190]

Thank you Rob for your videos! I've been reading comics for 5 years now and your videos helps me with older material.

[@James-ne2vb]

Ya keep doin these rob, good stuff👌🏻👍🏻

[@myriadtruth5167]

I miss reading these comics!. The nostalgia is flooding back into me! All those times in a library!

[@izuo3610]

Izu Oguike HOLLYYY SHEEET!

[@srinarayana]

I agree, Joseph is awesome!

[@Tuggytheseal]

Izu Oguike ora?

[@sellammichael1796]

The come back of colossus what just amazing ! And the art of cassady is amazing. He draws it like a movie, how kitty is in shock, how the bullets ricochets on him, amazing work

[@dariustwin]

This was awesome. Thank you!

[@Mrsierramist1]

I know this is late, but I need that x-men chronology playlist in my life.

[@uholdthis]

Thank you for this video 🙌🏽

[@peezy419]

Now that's a full-page spread(sheet) I'd love to see

[@kwamiano07]

please make the playlist that you are mentioning because I enjoy all your videos and knowledge

[@PaulSman123]

Been wanting more X-Men content. YAY!!!

[@oddinaryme6503]

Such a fantastic run! One of my personal favorites!

[@ildangerroomreviews452]

Great video Rob! Can’t wait to see you continue this series!!!

[@johnelzy2217]

Rob, awesome coverage of Piotr's return. When I read the issue where he had been reborn, I went out and bought two more copies for my collection. And the start of the Breakworld story was awesome, keep up the great work!

[@travisthecat666]

Please please please do more of Joss Whedon's run. He is a genius!!!

[@Nyghtking]

You know, something struck me that just made me laugh. Colossus's last name is Rasputin, and Grigori Rasputin was supposedly so unkillable that it took 3-4 consecutive assassinations, beating him, shooting him, and throwing him in a frozen lake, for him to finally die, and even then what killed him was drowning. I find it funny that Colossus is covered in metal, which makes him harder to kill, and now he's come back from the dead, he's really living up to that last name of his.

[@yakudde]

Nyghtking Never thought of that Give him the power of juggernaut again and make him fight worldbreaker Hulk The hyperion ( for killing Nemo)

[@irlredline7965]

Nyghtking don't forget they tried to poison him too with cyanide

[@jawofajackass4047]

he's actually related to rasputin and he had a limited series about it

[@yakudde]

damn

[@yakudde]

name pls

[@WickedPunishment]

Thanxs Rob for all your videos! You have a great speaking voice !! I would pay money for your videos !! You rock buddy !

[@nathan0717]

You gotta admit this guy has passion in comics! Love it!

[@outdoor_indica]

amazing! I can't wait for more X-Men

[@robalot33]

love this video we must explore the entire run of X-Men greatest idea yet

[@anon123214]

Okay, Colossus is one of the rare X-men that I couldn't resist keeping up on. I'm a DC man, but Colossus, Iron Man, Psylocke, Emma Frost and a few others were always interesting. I used to be into Deadpool, but he's going places that lead to me falling out of his loop.

[@GoDUsopp-ww6sh]

Evil King what do you mean, man?

[@olsaintlit7180]

Evil King I feel like Booster Gold from the DC Universe deserves his own Netflix series

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

What about the Cosmic Heroes?

[@MultiTaz333]

marvel>DC

[@olsaintlit7180]

-DC Comics > Marvel Comics -Marvel Movies > DC Movies -DC TV Series > Marvel TV Series -DC Videogames > Marvel Videogames 3 > 1 DC > Marvel

[@teknicalmage6370]

awesome video. I can't wait for more X-men stuff

[@Mythicalmage]

This comic run is great! I finished it last night, and it's incredibly well done and thoughtfully executed.

[@incarnum13]

0:01 to 0:45 this is why i watch ComicsExplained instead of trying to get into them, i have tried a few times in the past but it's hard trying to figure out where to start, which timelines to read, what is and is not important from the pat in comparison to the current story arc i am reading. I love marvel because of it's amazingly in depth universe but it's also a lot to take in.

[@Blakk_Wolf7]

Awesome video bro! Yeah, do more X-Men(AND NAMOR!)

[@AinzOoalGoan]

Do it, i would love those 70 videos, play them on repeat

[@MrArdhes]

Colossus is my favorite X-men beside Storm, thanks for the video

[@ethand3425]

[@jeremygwynn]

[@thanayogesh]

[@Rijan3]

Whenever I see your videos on X-men it reminds me how awesome the X-men and comics in general are! It really makes up for those movies. Keep it up.

[@OBELISK3210]
