This was one of the most fantastic issues i have ever read. It was packed full of drama which for some odd reason i enjoy . Peter sacraficeig himself for the rest of the mutant community wow. First comic i ever cried for. when he said im coming home Snowflake i lost it tears rolling down and everything. But the issue was packed full of everything a X fan loves. When i read that the only way the cure would work is if a mutant injected himself with it and used their powers i knew someone we love was going to make the sacrafice . Gotta love Peter for that .

Ok. this, in my opinion was the BEST X-Men story in the past ten years. Colossus, died, and yes while the death of any comic character is "tragic" in the world they exist in, This was the Way Peter was Supposed to die. Not in combat as a Warrior, but as a brother, and a man who loved his people.
HE sacrificed himself to ensure the mutant race would not have to suffer the way his Snowflake suffered,
And then you have Joss and Astonishing, who comes along and in one stroke, Erases the Best Story in the past decade for the X-men
Way to go Joss.
