All in all,thisAstonishing X-Menarc is shaping up to be humorous, heart-breaking, and dramatic.

This issue of Weapon X neatly wraps up a well-developed arc for the team and sets up the next arc rather ingeniously--and with a great deal of humor wrapped up in all that violence.

All in all, Astonishing X-Men #13, Until Our Hearts Stop (Part 1) does what it is meant to do: entices it's readers into a rich, character driven story while keeping us on the edge of our seats and wondering what is going to happen next. It is a great read for any fan of Astonishing X-Men, and a thrilling addition to the franchise. I can not wait until the next issue is released. Between Matthew Rosenberg's story-sense, and the art team's sharp fluidity, we're in for a ride.And I've always loved roller coasters.
