Kitty Pryde – Page 10

X-MEN Break the Bank Week!

I’ve been reading the Children of the Atoms since the glorious Chris Claremont and John Byrne era (and there was just 1 X-book) and the mutant books have never been better! This week is packed with X-books! Here’s a quick snapshot of why you got to get ’em all!

All-New X-Men #13 The fallout of the young X-Men versus Uncanny Avengers! What is Mystique’s endgame? Is history repeating itself as young Jean Grey continues to lose control of her powers?! Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen are just a dream team.

Uncanny X-Force #7 Psylocke and Fantomex’s tragic romance has become a twisted Continue reading X-MEN Break the Bank Week!

Brian Wood on Kitty Pryde in X-MEN

Kitty Pryde has come a long way from being the teenager scared of Wolverine, unsure of her powers and crushing on Russian hunk. Kitty is now central to the X-Men starring in multiple books. I want to share part of Brian Wood’s Marvel.com interview about Kitty’s role on the new, all-female X-Men series:

“Traditionally, Kitty’s the brains of the outfit, and has a tendency to be the smartest one in whatever room she happens to walk into. Her role in this team is the strategist, the fixer, the problem-solver and the deliverer-of-wise-cracks. I like writing her as hyper-capable—well, they all are, really, but each in their own way. Kitty’s way is to be clever as hell, able to read people really well, and [she] is most likely to be the one Continue reading Brian Wood on Kitty Pryde in X-MEN

Dark Iceman in Astonishing X-Men?

Don’t call Bobby Drake the class clown of the X-Men anymore!

Bobby is more powerful than ever, dating Kitty Pryde and playing an important role for Wolverine in the Jean Grey School.

But is Bobby slipping to the dark side? Just look at Phil Noto’s cover for this week’s Astonishing X-Men #63 courtesy Marvel.

Bobby has always been an omega level mutant but he recently learned to push the boundaries of his ice powers.

And let’s talk about Bobby’s love life. While Iceman and Kitty Pryde shared a kiss and date in Jason Aaron’s Wolverine and the X-Men Bobby received attention from Warbird in Marjorie Liu’s Astonishing X-Men. (And how cool is it that Iceman is in multiple booksbut Bobby will never beat Logan’s record!)

This cover Continue reading Dark Iceman in Astonishing X-Men?

Women of X-MEN #1

THE BOOK OF THE WEEK IS X-MEN #1!

Yes, you can probably tell I’m excited for this new mutant book and here’s why:

Brian Wood.

Olivier Coipel.

The Women of the X-Men.

Jubilee is back in fold with a baby! Jubilation’s return with this orphan launches a new mystery and inspires Storm to assemble a squad made up of Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Psylocke and Rachel Grey.

“I feel like as far as the X-Men go, the women are the X-Men,” Wood told USA Today.

“Cyclops and Wolverine are big names, but taken as a whole, the women kind of rule the franchise. If you look at the entire world as a whole, it’s the females that really dominate and are the most interesting and cool to look at. When you have a great artist drawing them, they look so amazing and always have.”

Jubilee is back but so is Continue reading Women of X-MEN #1

Astonishing X-Men #62 Review: Hot for Iceman!

Dark Iceman?

The many loves of Bobby Drake are reunited in a funny, heartbreaking issue with a hints of darkness in Astonishing X-Men #62. I had forgotten about all these women from Iceman’s past but this is not just a soap opera issue. Marjorie Liu takes Dangerous Liaisons and mutates it as Bobby’s past loves unite to his horror and the delight of some of his teammates.

Bobby is already shaken from the events of X-Tinction and the sudden reunion of loves may shake the onetime joke of the X-Men into a powerful threat! The women who pushed Bobby to reach his potential as an omega level mutant may be the only one who can save him from madness or Continue reading Astonishing X-Men #62 Review: Hot for Iceman!

X-MEN #1 Preview!

The Women of the Atom unite in an all-new X-Men #1 by Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel! Jubilee comes home and she’s not alone. The mutant turned vampire comes back to the school with an orphan baby that could be a destroyer or a messiah! Storm rallies Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Grey, Psylocke and Jubilee to protect the child!

Plus, an old enemy comes to the X-Men asking them for protection against an ancient evil! What’s so powerful it would make Sublime turn to the mutants for help?

Brian Wood’s last X-Men run was phenomenal! I’ll say it again, no writer Continue reading X-MEN #1 Preview!

X-MEN Showdown Round Two!

Who says you can’t go home again? It’s easy when you have a demon sorceress/mutant teleporter on your side!

Cyclops, Magik, Magneto and Emma Frost arrived at the Jean Grey School in All-New X-Men #10 last week. Scott welcomed the staff and students of Wolverine’s school to join the new Xavier School. Some of the Jean Grey School students agreed to join Cyclops and the issue ended with a cliffhanger:

Will a member of Yesterday’s X-Men join Scott’s revolution?

This week in Uncanny X-Men #4 the action continues but will we learn who Continue reading X-MEN Showdown Round Two!

All-New X-Men, Kitty Pryde in Control

Mystique and Sabretooth are showcased in all their mutant malevolence on the cover of this week’s All-New X-Men #9 but Kitty Pryde is the star of this latest chapter by Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen so I chose this commanding cover to issue 6 for this story.

I remember way back when Kitty was calling herself Sprite (or was it Ariel? She changed code names and costumes so much back then!) and Kitty didn’t join to join the X-Babies (aka the original New Mutants.) The phasing mutant may have had trouble finding her identity then but Kitty Pryde is confident in her new role as teacher in All-New X-Men and it’s amazing to see and a joy to read. Jason Aaron started the transformation of Kitty when he made her co-headmaster of the Jean Grey School. Under Brian Michael Bendis, Kitty has assumed the role of teacher/mentor/taskmaster to the original X-Men who Beast brought into the future.
I love seeing Kitty being cool and confident as she drills tactics Continue reading All-New X-Men, Kitty Pryde in Control
