Daniel Way (Wolverine Origins, Deadpool) and Jason Pearson (X-Force Annual) will take over Astonishing X-Men from Warren Ellis starting with issue #36. Probably out in January 2011.

The “new” team will consist of Cyclops, Emma Frost, Wolverine and Armor.

“We have Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost and Armor. This is my first time writing Wolverine as part of a team and that’s been interesting. With Cyclops, he’s sort of got his balls back in recent years and it’s been great writing him. And Emma Frost is an incredibly complex character. I love writing Emma. She’s so cold but at the same time she’s very deep, emotionally,” Way explained. “Then you have Armor – what’s great about her involvement is she’s the newbie on the team. You get to see a lot through her eyes and get to her experience her sense of wonder. Some pretty huge things get dealt with in this story. They may be old hat to the X-Men who have done it all and seen it all, but it’s all very new to her. So you get things from a not quite so jaded perspective.”

The first arc will be four issues long.
