Astonishing X-Men is a comic launched in 2017, initially written by Charles Soule, with a rotating line-up of artists.After winning their war against The Inhumans, the X-Men have led mutantkind to its healthiest status in quite some time. Though Professor Charles Xavier is still dead, they're no longer in danger of extinction. But they aren't safe, either.When an ancient evil attacks the world's telepaths and psychics, a group of X-Men past, present, and future —Old Man Logan, Psylocke, Rogue, Gambit, Bishop, Fantomex, Archangel, and Mystique— band together to stop it before it can bring the apocalypse.But little do they know, a familiar face is using them as pawns in a high-stakes game that will have substantial ramifications for the X-Men moving forward...Soule's Astonishing is notable for featuring Rogue's return to the X-Men, following a years-long run in Uncanny Avengers, as well as the return of Charles Xavier to the land of the living.After the conclusion of Soule's run, Astonishing continues with a new creative team (writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Greg Land) starting with issue #13. This iteration of the title features Dazzler (also making her return to the X-Men after brief stints with S.H.I.E.L.D. and A-Force), Havok, Beast, Colossus, and Warpath. The Reavers have returned with a new weapon, and it's up to this new team to stop them.Rosenberg's run serves as a sort of lead-in to Uncanny X-Men (2018)

Trailers Always Spoil: Though she appears on the cover of issue #1, Mystique's presence on the team is played as a twist in the second issue, when it's revealed she was masquerading as Beast until that point. Solicitations for later issues also revealed that Shadow King is the big bad of the first arc. Completely averted by Xavier, whose presence in the plot was avoided entirely by the marketing.

Heel–Face Turn: Havok was one of the many heroes whose personalities were inverted during AXIS, making him evil as well as one of the few who remained in that state. In X-Men: Blue, Emma Frost, with help from Polaris, was able to telepathically restore Alex's original, heroic personality.

Working with the Ex
 Astonishing X-Men (2017) (Comic Book) / int_aa58bf92
comment
Working with the Ex: A few cases, funnily enough: Rogue and Gambit are working with each other again after a long time apart. The two broke up a long while ago, but seem to be on okay terms. In fact, they get on so well that in X-Men: Gold #30, after Kitty Pryde dumps Colossus at the altar, Gambit proposes to Rogue and they marry there and then. Fantomex and Psylocke, on the other hand, hate each other. They only dated for six months, but they don't even try to hide the contempt they have for each other. Wolverine and Mystique dated each other in the 1800s and have never stopped hating each other.

Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: Havok isn't trusted by the superhero community, which is somewhat justified considering he was a villain the last time any of them saw him. Though, it becomes more grating as they keep treating him like shit.

Reality Is Out to Lunch: Once freed Proteus plans to make the physical world like the Astral Plane, meaning people can reshape the landscape purely through thought. Unfortunately, making reality truly subjective goes about as well as you expect when people are involved. The first thing seen being done is a man killing his wife because he wants to be with another woman.

Tragic Monster: Proteus tries to dissuade the heroes from attacking him, citing that their previous encounters were with him as a child, a child who'd spent his entire life up to that point imprisoned by his own mother, and that he'd just shrugged off being used yet again by villainous people and just wants to live in peace. Unfortunately he plans to make sweeping changes to reality that makes him impossible to ignore.
