Kitty and Nightcrawler story in Unlimited

jsut trying to get people talking again after the outage...

it seems that Kitty Pryde will be featured in an upcoming issue of Unlimited along with Nightcrawler, mouring Colossus' death. the artist Darik Robertson (Transmetropolitan) says: "The story I'm doing with Greg is one that brings out the X-geek in both of us," Robertson told X-Fan on Monday. "It's a quiet story that reminds me of what I loved about the X-Men when {Chris} Claremont was at his best and Paul Smith was drawing the book. It involves Kitty Pryde mourning {Colossus}, and coming to terms {with the fact} that despite all the super-villains and X-Men craziness, he really is dead and having to cope with that loss. Nightcrawler is in it as well, and those are two of my favorite X-Men from when I was a teenager reading X-Men. Growing up, dreaming of a career in comics, this was the kind of story I wanted to draw."

Sounds cool. When's this slated to come out? It certainly has been a while since Peter's death though. And considering Kitty got that solo issue where she took his ashes to Russia to scatter, I figured that story had already been told. Kurt got a dealing with death story too, back in Unlimited last year.

I imagine this may be with Kurt playing as counselor to Kitty, since he had that unofficial team counselor role back in the day (and sometimes still now) and that's the time frame the author identifies with.

I'll have to pick it up.

:^D

I might have to take a look at that if I ever get the chance.

I have really missed Kitty, and especially Kurt and Kitty together...they were really close and it hasn't been the same without her.
I cant stand snotty Evo Kitty... the REAL Kitty is nothing like that, I only hope that the writer will remember that.
Still holding out for a Kurt and Kitty team-up.
*sigh* I MISS Excaliber.....
Pandora the hopelessly nostalgic

yeah, they were great together... but Claremont has Kitty now, to be starring in MechaniX, so we will ahve to make do with this Unlimited story, sicne it will be highly doubtful Kitty will be showing up in Uncanny, or Kurt in MechaniX [img]frown.gif[/img]

anyway, someone posted a better idea of what this story is about, and it sounds pretty cool, actually. it does not take place in the past right after he died, but present day (so kurt will be finding her agian after she cut ties with the school, nifty) Kitty sees someone who looks remarkably like Colossus, another student at college or something, i dunno. she gets the idea in her head that he is back somehow (not exactly unreasonable in the X-Mens world, i suppose [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) then Kurt talks some sense into her, and together they remember Colossus, and what a great guy he was.

all i can say is: awwwwwwwww..... great thing about this too is, they changed the format of Unlimited back to it's original, one story taking up the entire issue.

and yeah, i miss Excalibur too [img]frown.gif[/img]

Sounds like a pretty cool story!

That does sound like a cool story! I will be happy to see Kurt and Kitty together again.

Um, pardon the ignorance, but what's MechaniX? Is this another new X-book? Claremont's doing it? Must be, but WHY? And who's in it, aside from, presumably, Kitty?

RIP Excalibur... *sniff....*

The most recent info that I have is from a site called silverbullet comics , Claremont is working on a new project Called MeKaniX, that has Shadowcat as the main character,it looks like it will be set in chicago and will also involve Karma as a side character.
Though it doesn't come right out and say it,The series seems like it will be following the more gritty realistic type of story ,like X-Factor and Mutie, but thats just my take on it.
I am under the impression that if it does well then they will give it a monthly series and its due out in October.
I'm pretty excited about the thing so far, The prequel story is coming out in X-Men Unlimited #36
so we dont have long to wait to get a look at it
Pandora

yeah it sounds like a pretty cool story, tho i dunno how well Claremont would handle gritty and realistic... his stories tend to be more grand and full of action/drama. oh well, guess we'll find out soon.

from my take on it is is Kitty and Karma i think *maybe* Dani Moonstar, and they kinda deal with the fact that Kitty (and i suppsoe these otgher guys) while they agree with Xaviers dream to a point, don't agree with how it is being fought for, and they do it in a different way somehow. apparently Mystique will be in it as a villain early on. which is why i am going for the theory she aint dead after being sucked into Abyss. and Nightcrawler will infact meet up with her next issue of Uncanny in Limbo where he and Chamber accidentaly got teleported to. that's my theory. yup.... maybe Havok too.

Yup ,it's hard to keep a good villain down!
I'm just wondering, What does Mystique do for a hobby? what a hard working lady!*snark*

DITTO!


P.S. Hiya everyone!


BAMF!

Nocturne, I just discovered that there ARE two different stories with kitty, one is with Claremont and Larocca and is in Unlimeted#36 and comes out next week and the other one (the one with Kurt)is written by Greg Rucka with art by Darick Robertson and is going to be in the Unlimeted anthology, tho' I dont know when its out

I hope that she can deal with her grief and loss and learn to be happy again, poor Kitten looks so alone in the world.
i dont know how Conon the anthology title is, but for the record, both of the stories take place at the University of Chicago. It seems like the Claremont tale takes up right away after her leaving and the Rucka tale is set one year later, one the anniversery of Peter's death
perhaps by that time she has gotten over some of her bitterness and can except Kurt or another old friends aid, since as of the last i'd heard, Marvel was trying to synchronize ALL of the regular X titles
I dunno...
Pandora

I know [img]smile.gif[/img] the one by Claremont is an introductory story for MeKaniX (wonder what the name means...) but Nightcrawler wont be making an appearance in that one, or.. atleast i thought he wouldn't, tho he seems to be sneaking himself in there anyway [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Nightcrawler will actually BE in the other one, not just flashbacks and photos, which means, he will be finding kitty at college (or she contacts him... whichever, they will be together again). which is why i brought that one up, and not Claremont's...

i am confused about one thing. sometimes i hear MeKaniX is a miniseries, others i hear it is an ongoing... anyone have a link to an article or some such which states which it is??

I've heard that it's to start out asa mini and if the numbers are good right off the bat, then it will become an on going thing. I found a few things about it while rollin' around the pages
there was a news bulletin April 15 at Silver Bullet comic books with Claremont talking about it and several more hints over at Xfan in the last few days
