WOLVERINE limited series, at last tells the full story of the duo's journey in Japan before returning to the X-Men and the heartbreak, trials and tribulations that made the cha more
Wolverine and Kitty Pryde #1 isn't just a cleverly crafted throwback tale, but a great character study that promises to explore one of the X-Men's most meaningful relationships. If you love Wolverine, Kitty Pryde or classic X-Men stories, give this one a read! Read Full Review
Issue one offers a well crafted, classic looking first chapter that shows off Claremont's ability to easily slide back into these character's voices with art that seems deliberate in it's attempt to capture the look and feel of the series that this is set after. It's classic Claremont fair that for a lot of people will be worth the cost of admission. Read Full Review
Though its clearly not looking to grossly exaggerate the style and pop culture of the 1985, the pacing, art and overall execution feel like something that wouldnt have looked out of place on the comics rack in the Jim Shooter era of Marvel. Between this and Spider-Man Vs. Godzilla, the mid-1980s Marvel Universe seems to be making a bit of a comeback...if only for a few weeks or so. This IS a five-part mini-series. Its nice to see Claremont come back to the X-Men for a few issues. Read Full Review
In Wolverine and Kitty Pryde #1, it felt like so much happened in such a small amount of time, as it flowed perfectly courtesy of Claremont. I look forward to seeing what comes next! Read Full Review
It definitely feels like a lost relic from 1985 with much less overwrought caption boxes. Read Full Review
Wolverine and Kitty Pryde #1 jumps back to the 80s to imagine what Kitty and Wolverine were up to between missions when their trip to Japan takes a wild turn. Chris Claremont has the voice of Kitty and Wolverine down like no other, but the plot is a jumble of ideas that don't quite work together, and the art looks, in a word, cheap. Read Full Review
Overall i like the initiative of Claremont to expand on those old stories of his that did not have a room to breathe, like he did with Gambit. Here, i don't think it was needed, it doesn't feel as inspired and as driven, because there isn't much happening. I love the og wolverine Kitty series, but honestly, it was perfectly contained and idk how it fits with what is shown here. The artwork, a lot of the times, comes off as rushed. I get that it's maybe trying to have that more skeletal feeling of Klaus Janson, but it does not translate that well here. It looks wonky and cheap, with no finer touches. The issue spends a lot of time establishing where the characters are in their journeys, but it does not provide much to look forward to. Mostl more
Art is atrocious. The story isn't decent enough to be worth owning a copy.
