Although there will certainly be no shortage of titles featuring your favorite mutants over the next few months, one in particular that’s especially eye-catching is that of Astonishing X-Men. We could probably chat all day about why it’s so appealing, whether it be due to paying homage to the lauded book once penned by Joss Whedon or the fact that a “familiar menace has once again reared its ugly head – reborn, renewed and resurrected.”
Now that we have less than a month to go until Secret Empire kicks off, Marvel is fully aware there’s a calm before the storm as it were. In fact, they’re going to illustrate that point by having three of their ongoing series serve as lead-ins a full week before Secret Empire #0 hits stands.

With just a few short hours to go until Kevin Smith's directorial return to Supergirl hits airwaves, the network has circulated a few teaser clips in an effort to tide us all over. But, as usual, they don't make the wait any easier.
