They're releasing a soft cover TPB (trade paperback) of the first 6 episodes of the arc Joss Whedon wrote for Astonishing Xmen.

The coup was the rustling-up of wundermann TV writer Joss Whedon, 40-year-old creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Known for his saucy banter and acute characterizations, Whedon was set loose on a new title, Astonishing X-Men. A fanboy himself -- he says he based Buffy on osmotic X-Woman Kitty Pryde -- Whedon dove in fully dressed and set out on a story arc that has now been collected in trade paperback.
The graphic novel -- well, not exactly, but what passes for one in the Marvel/DC nomenclature -- Astonishing X-Men Vol. 1: Gifted comprises the first six issues of Whedon's purported 12-book run, though it makes a satisfying narrative on its own. And as an X-world welcome to the uninformed, it's as friendly as a drugged kitten.

Apparently a 12 episode hardcover is also available for advance order at Amazon.
