Phil Jimenez’s Astonishing X-Men
(6 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)This fall, Phil Jimenez fans (LIKE ME!) are in for a treat! He is following up his stint on Amazing Spiderman with a 5 issue run on Warren Ellis’ Astonishing X-Men this fall!
“The X-Men was the first mainstream super-hero comic book I ever collected,” remembers Jimenez. “Its lead characters—Storm, Wolverine, even the Beast and Emma Frost—have been near and dear to my heart since I was a kid. I love these characters, I ‘get’ them, and I find drawing them is a huge pleasure and a real luxury for which I’m incredibly grateful.”

Out and proud (since 1992) artist Phil Jimenez is by far my favorite of the next generation comic book talents.
Jimenez dedicated his work on the (1996) limited series Tempest to deceased DC editor Neal Pozner, who had been the first editor to hire Jimenez. The two subsequently had a relationship that ended when Pozner died of complications from AIDS in 1994.
He also worked as a “hand double” for Tobey Maguire in the film Spider-Man, in the scenes depicting the young Peter Parker designing his costumed identity.
His amazing work on the Team Titans, Tempest, Wonder Woman: Donna Troy, JLA/Titans: The Technis imperative, Planetary/Authority: Ruling the World (also written by Warren Ellis), Titans/Legion of Super-Heroes: Universe Ablaze, New X-Men, Otherworld (which he also wrote), DC Special The Return of Donna Troy, Infinite Crisis and Amazing Spiderman.
