Chris Claremont Returns to X-Men Legacy with Wolverine and Kitty Pryde
Fans of classic X-Men stories are in for a treat this April as legendary writer Chris Claremont revisits one of his most beloved story arcs in Marvel’s upcoming limited series, Wolverine and Kitty Pryde. Teamed with acclaimed artist Damian Couceiro, Claremont dives into the untold tales of Wolverine and Kitty Pryde’s adventures in Japan following the events of the 1984-1985 Kitty Pryde and Wolverine series.
The Story
This five-issue series explores the pivotal journey that deepened the bond between Logan and Kitty, revealing how their partnership evolved amidst new threats and old alliances. Following the harrowing events where Kitty nearly succumbed to the influence of the villainous Ogun, the duo faces mysterious dangers while staying with Mariko Yashida, one of Wolverine’s key allies. With their mutant abilities and ninja training tested like never before, this series promises to uncover untold moments that shaped their return to the X-Men.
Claremont’s Vision
“It’s really great returning to this arc, especially since it’s being presented by a wonderful artist, Damian Couceiro!” Claremont shared. “This story fills the gap between the end of the original Kitty Pryde and Wolverine mini-series and their return home in Uncanny X-Men #192. It’s packed with surprises and insights fans have been waiting for!”
Artistic Powerhouses
Alongside Damian Couceiro’s dynamic interior art, fans can look forward to covers by legendary X-Men artist Alan Davis. Additional variant covers from talents like Adi Granov, Marcus To, and Rickie Yagawa promise stunning visuals for collectors and readers alike.
What to Expect
Editor Mark Basso teased the emotional depth of the story: “This series bridges a critical gap in X-Men lore. It explores Kitty’s transformation from a junior member to a full-fledged hero and sheds light on her mindset upon rejoining the team. Plus, questions about her father’s fate and her struggles after Ogun will finally be answered.”
