Alonso also tweeted out this image of an interior page with some redacted bits!
Hmmm….what could be in the redacted areas?
Astonishing X-Men will feature a different artist on each issue to go along with the theme of the series, which is an ever changing environment in the Astral Plane, with Ron Garney, ACO, Phil Noto, Greg Land, and Ramon Rosanos named as future creators. The second issue of Astonishing X-Men will be out in August, however, the issue has not yet been solicited.
