Chris Claremont and Damian Couceiro return to the 1980s for a follow up to the original Kitty Pryde and Wolverine mini-series.
The new five-issue series takes place directly after the original, with Wolverine and Kitty still in Japan attempting to navigate the world of ninjas, organized crime, and all-new super powered villains.
“It’s really great returning to this arc, especially since it’s being presented by a wonderful artist, Damian Couceiro” Claremont said. “It’s the story of what happens between the end of the original Kitty Pryde and Wolverine mini-series and Logan and Pryde’s return home to rejoin the X-Men. Five issues, more than a single story, complete with surprises galore!”
“Obviously, that Kitty Pryde and Wolverine mini-series is so iconic, taking Kitty from the ‘junior’ X-Man to the fully fledged hero we see when she returns to New York,” Editor Mark Basso added. “But there was a clear gap between the end of this Ogun situation and when Wolverine and Kitty arrive in New York in Uncanny X-Men #192, and we were thrilled Chris was ready to show what happened in that intervening window. Why was Kitty in such a different headspace when they got back? And hey, where’d Kitty’s father get to? Now you’ll get to see.”
All covers will be provided by Alan Davis and the first issue (pictured below) will be in stores on April 30.
