A quick AXM summary needed?
If so, go here for 36 pages covering the first 12 issues of Joss' run on Astonishing X-Men. To see past the first 5 pages you will have to register (and that was relatively painless for me). Just a word of caution though, in condensing each issue to about 3 pages, almost all of the wit and timing of Joss' original work is lost. Still, at least you get to catch up very quickly.
Of course, the best way to really catch up is the buy the Gifted TPB and the Dangerous TPB. The third TPB, Torn, is going to be out about March 2007.
Gifted and Dangerous are both really great stuff - most X-men comics either confuse me (what? I thought Jean was dead - oh, but that's not really Jean?) or just bore me. Every ounce of wit, imagination and humour that Joss brought to AtS, BtVS and Serenifly is here, at large and at full-speed.
