The outing of an X-Man may have dominated news and social media this week but something HUGE happened to another fan-favorite X-Man.

The long-distance love affair between Kitty Pryde and Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord) reached a pivotal moment in The Black Vortex: Omega this week.

When Quill’s sinister father kidnapped him and seized the powerful Black Vortex, Kitty went into deep space to save her man. The X-Men joined the fight that include their old enemies, The Brood.
