I read Whedon's Astonishing X-Men as well. Really good! Thankfully that one came in a single volume. I'd like to read Morrison's run but my library system doesn't carry those and goodness, I wouldn't want to PAY for them 
I enjoyed the movie...but not as much as I expected to, and I can't really put my finger on why. But I know what you mean about things being able to go on longer. In the Knights of the Old Republic comics (which are really good, btw) one of the big story arcs culminates in the bad guy making his move and it's going to be catastrophic! And then it is immediately resolved—in a satisfying way, granted—but it feels like they could have ridden that story out a little longer.
Time. That's my excuse (I say this as someone who like Star Trek too).
The controls are really simple, thankfully, since you're just turning left or right. They're very responsive. You're the one I thought of when I played this one, so I hope you'll give it a chance. I think you'll like it. It's $2 on iTunes.
It's $2 but totally worth it, I think. I've gone back to play it several times, which is kind of rare with random iPhones games for me. (Here's the link. Handy!)
I've wanted to play this game for a long time and finally bought it on PSN last year during one of their sales. It's all loaded up on my Vita just waiting for me to have the time to play it. I love how different it looks in setting and themes, especially for an RPG.
Those pixels aren't messing around!
When I googled Starseed to find the icon pic, some weird old sci-fi stuff came up lol
Egads, man! You haven't played Contra 4? That's one of the good ones! Better get on that stat.
Momodora sounds the most interesting to me...but, realistically, I'd probably only play it if it came to PS4 or Vita. Looks good though.
