Astonishing X‑Men Omnibus Hardcover — Joss Whedon & John Cassaday (Collects #1–24)

Hardcover collecting Astonishing X‑Men #1–24 plus the Giant‑Size one‑shot (ISBN 978‑0‑7851‑3801‑3). Written by Joss Whedon with art by John Cassaday — the high‑profile, widely collected run that reintroduced Kitty/Beast team dynamics and features the acclaimed “Gifted”/“Torn”/“Dangerous” story arc.

Condition and grading: Raw, ungraded hardcover. Cover shows shelf/edge wear visible in photos — light corner bumps, a small crush at the lower spine edge, and surface scuffs/pressing marks on the glossy jacket. Pages appear intact with no obvious tears visible in supplied images; interior not fully photographed so buyer should assume normal handling for a read copy.

Notable features: First collected presentation of the popular early 2000s Whedon/Cassaday Astonishing run (includes the well‑known Emma Frost/Beast sequences and pivotal character moments). John Cassaday’s painted‑style covers and interior layouts are a major selling point for collectors and readers alike. This edition lists a cover price of $75.00 on the back and includes full wraparound cover art and a grid of cover thumbnails on the back jacket.

Artist, edition and collectibility: Art by John Cassaday; script by Joss Whedon. This hardcover is a desirable modern classic for X‑Men collectors, especially fans of the Whedon era. It has solid shelf/reading value for display or to submit for grading if you wish — condition issues are cosmetic and visible in photos, which will affect any third‑party grade.

Observations: Jacket gloss shows light surface wear and a few pressure marks (visible in photos). Spine and corners show minor crushing consistent with storage and handling. Interior page condition not fully verified in the provided images; assume typical reader wear until inspected. Packaged and sold as a raw (ungraded) hardcover copy.
