“The love for #StarKat we’ve been seeing online has been blowing everyone at Marvel away. But the Black Vortex is going to put them through the wringer… their relationship is gonna be changed forever. And after that comes “Secret Wars,” said Humphries on Comic Book Resources.
“Peter and Kitty are the nexus of the Guardians and the X-Men. In some ways, it is their relationship that brings the two teams together in the first place. If you’ve been reading “The Legendary Star-Lord,” you’ve been seeing these threads for a long time…Peter and Kitty’s relationship is the giant, beating heart of “The Black Vortex.” But even giant hearts can get broken…”
