Astonishing X-men

Dream-team creators Joss Whedon (TV’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and John Cassaday (Planetary, CAPTAIN AMERICA) present the explosive, all-new flagship X-Men series – marking a return to classic greatness and the beginning of a brand-new era for the X-Men! Cyclops and Emma Frost re-form the X-Men with the express purpose of "astonishing" the world. Astonishing is mind-blowingly good, I'd buy issues 7 and 8 when they come out, and I think the first TPB with issues 1-6 comes out the same month as issue 8, so you could be caught up in a hurry.
