X-Men Gold #26 was a good start to what will lead to a long-awaited wedding. I think I found myself more satisfied with the idea that they didn't just jump into the wedding like some others would. This is taking steps to that point, where just about anything can go because these are X-Men we are dealing with here. Even if they get their happy ending, it will come at a price. Read Full Review

Though X-MEN GOLD #26 has its moments, especially in the action-packed beginning, it ultimately fails to pack a lasting punch. Read Full Review

X-Men Gold #26 may kickoff Piotr and Kitty's wedding preparations with little fanfare, meanwhile the standout moments of this issue are found in how it pits the X-Men against their oldest enemy- bigotry. Read Full Review

There wasn't really much to this issue to hold onto. The story was ok, but there was a lack of substantial plot for both Kitty and Peter. Read Full Review

The road to the wedding of Kitty Pryde and Colossus begins here, with a flashback drawn by David Marquez. It's beautiful, but given the problematic elements of the early days of Kitty and Peter's relationships, one wonders if reminding fans of those early days is a wise choice. Read Full Review

We may just have to keep on waiting for the X-office to get it right. Read Full Review

Pete develops cold feet as he and Kitty death-march their way to the altar. This title's bad penny plot points - Evil Pundit Lady Lydia Nance and Mesmero's increasingly-gross obsession with Rachel - turn up with impeccable timing to save the script from the possibility of deep characterization. My distaste for the writing is counterbalanced by my enthusiasm for the art. It's strictly the linework that I like; there's some notably bad coloring in here. So many sooty faces - did the X-Men spend the night in front of a campfire before this issue?

I'm disappointed by Colossus's performance in the final fight scene, but I shouldn't be surprised. I've read every issue of Gold. I should know by now that no force in the multiverse is so pathetically weak as a mutant in the final act of a Marc Guggenheim script. If my niece Bethany threw down with the Gold team and the fight took place at the end of a Guggenheim book, I wouldn't hesitate to bet my life savings on the kindergarten girl.
