Astonishing X-Men, Volume 3: Torn

by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday

141 p.

Emma Frost, headmistress of Xavior's School for Gifted Youngsters, has been doing some rather odd things lately. One of those things is communicating with a group of evil psychics known as the New Hellfire Club. With this group, Emma attempts to take out the X-Men and to recover an unknown item from a very secure metal box. If this weren't bad enough, two super strong aliens who want to destroy the X-Men team up to do just that. But all is not as it seems.
