Astonishing X-Men Vol3: Eisner Award Winner, 2006

Astonishing X-Men is the name of three X-Men books, the first two were limited series(1995, 1999) and the third an ongoing series.

In 2004, Marvel used the title Astonishing X-Men for the ongoing X-Men series written by Joss Whedon (best known as the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly and co-creator of Angel) and illustrated by John Cassaday. It is a continuation of the New X-Men title and features a similar line-up of characters, including Cyclops (as team leader), Emma Frost, Beast, Shadowcat, Colossus, Lockheed and Wolverine. This team has become the usual focus for most X-Men limited series too. Whedon/Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men has introduced a number of original characters into the Marvel Universe. These include: Abigail Brand, Hisako Ichiki, Ord of the Breakworld and Blindfold.

Whedon, Cassaday, and the title have been nominated for several Eisner Awards. The series won best continuing series in 2006 and John Cassaday won "Best Artist/Penciller/Inker or Penciller/Inker Team" in 2005 and 2006.
