The latest Astonishing X-Men TPB was released recently containing issues 31-35. Here we've got a mostly stand alone story with the X-Men fighting against the Brood and some hybrid Sentinels. The Sentinels I know all about but I've never heard of the Brood before. Apparently they're a fairly major part of the X-Men lore, but I'm still learning the forty year back story. I'm going to have to go back and read some of the earlier issues in this continuity at some point as from time to time they do still reference events that I have no idea about. The artwork was good here but the story felt less exciting than previous issues. Overall enjoyable but probably a bit forgettable in the long run.
