    If Beast left the X-Men in Uncanny a while in back because he was at odds with Cyclops... Then why is he with the team in Astonishing X-Men??!!

    Who knows. All the canonicity is just too much.

    Astonishing has always had a little continuity problems. I remeber even people who thought it was not main continuity.

    Because Astonishing, for what seems to be creative issues, has never been subjected to main continuity. If there's a major change in one of the other books it's safest to assume that Astonishing takes place before that book.

    Astonishing X-Men takes place a bit before Uncanny X-Men due to release problems.

    After Whedon finished with Astonishing, it never really fit into the main continuity.  The funny thing is that when Marvel re-started Astonishing they acknowledged the complaints everyone had about where it fit into the cannon and they assured everyone that the new Astonishing would fit clearly into the main Marvel Universe.
     
    That clearly hasn't happened.  Not only does it not fit in the current events in the Marvel U, but it's art is atrocious and it's writing mediocre at best.  It it truthfully a waste of a book and and the re-vamp might has well have never happened.

    @Beast_in_the_Shadows:  
    I agree with you 100%!!! Ever since the arc when Kitty was shot into space in a bullet... Astonishing lost it's touch and relationship with the other titles!! Now it's more like a slack-off wanna-be in the front lines type of book!!! I just don't see what Astonishing X-Men brings to the table.... Ooohhh, the supposed death of the long-time X-Man mechanic Forge!! How exciting!!! (Sarcasm runs through my blood)!!! I'm done ranting!!!
