Astonishing X-Men # 1 - Gifted, Part 1
is an issue published by Marvel that was released on 7 / / 2004Plot Summary
Upon returning to the Institute, Kitty Pryde finds old memories and faces waiting for her. She also finds herself named as being a member of the senior staff of the Institute during the ceremony welcoming the new student body. The only member of the senior staff not present is Logan, who appears the next morning picking a fight with Cyclops regarding his new intimate relationship with Emma Frost.
This resumption of old animosities, with members of the student body watching, leads the Beast to call a meeting, during which Cyclops proposes a new direction for their group – returning to their roots as being super heroes, just like the publicly respected Avengers and Fantastic Four. They will gain acceptance from humans through actions they understand, not words they will not hear. Their first mission comes soon, as they leave to respond to a hostage situation caused by an apparent mutant and his gunmen at a benefit of some sort.
Meanwhile, world-renowned geneticist Dr. Kavita Rao makes a startling announcement at a press conference. She states that the mutant gene is not an evolutionary step but a disease; a disease for which she has found a cure.

Gifted, Part 1
The X-Men are back together again like old times. The line-up is Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, Wolverine, and Kitty Pryde. Wolverine isn’t over Jean’s death or the fact that Scott is now with Emma Frost . Cyclops is in charge and wants to Astonish the world. With John Cassaday’s art and Joss Whedon’s writing, who could not like this new title. All together, Astonishing X-Men readers will have a blast.
Gifted, Part 1
First off, I like this issue! It started off the series well with a new team, costumes, and really good art! It went by PRETTY fast though, but I enjoyed it! It's like the new x-men team (from the X-men #114) back with Jean but now with Shadowcat....... well anyways a new person is shown in this comic- Kavita Rao...... she's not evil, but discovered a "cure" for mutants to cure their powers....... Also the astonishing x-men team begin to assemble and are ready for action! As they are getting ready and u know doin what they r good at! I just didn't like how Shadowcat is still uncomfortable with Emma--- but overall good issue!
Love the line at the end=== we must astonish them :P!
Gifted, Part 1
I love the x men 1st off(they can't really do any wrong,lol). But this comic book series just furthered my 'astonishment' of them(lol).I love how in your face the tension is with Emma Frost being there 1st off between Kitty Pryde, and then also with Wolverine. I never really knew much about Kitty or Emma in great depth, but it ws cool to see there characters develop throughout this series and use their powers too! I also like how in this series they kinda give u the adult x men perspective but alos some the teenage students perspectives too. Finally, wing and armor are relaly cool and its kinda sad how their relationship ends...read the other comics to find out what happens(or i guess just the reviews,lol)*.
