This volume collects the first six issues of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's acclaimed 2004-2008 run on Astonishing X-Men, reuniting a core team of Cyclops, Emma Frost, Wolverine, Beast, and Kitty Pryde. The story arc, titled 'Gifted,' introduces a new mutant threat and a controversial medical breakthrough that challenges Xavier's dream of peaceful coexistence. Whedon's sharp character work and Cassaday's cinematic art revitalized the X-Men franchise for a new generation of readers.
