161. Kitty Pryde and Wolverine 4

Thoughts

After the cliffhanger at the end of last issue – this next one crashes into the story somewhere very different. Indeed for a second it feels like the reader might have missed an issue.

Watching modern streaming dramas it feels almost the norm for new episodes to open playing with time, and leaping into the story this way feels very current. That said – it doesn’t quite pay-off when it comes to the flashbacks to tell us exactly what happened in the moments after the end of last issue. It’s almost as if this is a sequence that would work so much better on a TV show than in a comic.

It’s also a slight shame we didn’t get more of Evil Kitty. Her brief period as a zealous ninja is almost immediately reversed. That said, there is a lot to enjoy in Wolverine and Kitty interacting here. It’s effectively a deprogramming, and its nicely played. Both characters feel real, and its nice how visually inventive the issue is when it happens.

Fun Panel

More Milgram fun – with a nice change of style when Logan tells a story.
