Marvel's The Avengers brings back Joss Whedon's X-Men

Call it a happy coincidence and nothing to do with the super-popularity of Joss Whedon's Avengers film, but Marvel has announced that a novelization of Whedon's highly regarded story arc on Astonishing X-Men will be published sometime this fall.  Famed author and comic book writer Peter David will be handling the adaptation of Whedon's run, done with artist John Cassaday, and one that still sells very well in various collected editions.

David is experienced at adaptions of properties into other media forms, having done many novels based on films as well as a series of Stephen King Dark Tower books.
