Another good solo outing for one of the female X-men. This time it's Kitty rather than Logan heading off to Japan to fight ninjas and to rumble with the Silver Samuari.
It's great to see Paul Smith back, but this nothingburger of a story has little else to recommend it.
The story wrapped up a little toooo neatly, but it's always nice to see Kitty be a badass and also be Lockheed's wingman.
I read this back to back with Yoshida's "Wolverine: Soultaker", and this is a far superior story. Placing Kitty Pryde back in Japan to ostensibly find another dragon for Lockeed to hang out with makes for a fun story. And while the backstory from Pryde & Wolverine's previous Japan outing is a foundatoin for this story, the way the flashbacks always end with someone snapping her out of daydreaming is a structurally weak storytelling device.The art is fine, although the shadows were off enough to
Primera parte, amo a este personaje, una de mis x-men favoritas de siempre.En esta ocasión es llamada a Japón en la búsqueda de un dragón verde. Por ahora va tranquilo, presentando la aventura, los compañeros de viaje y una pequeña escena con el villano misterioso que esta siguiendo a Kitty. Después de eso no pasa mucho más. Lo increíble son los dibujos y ver a este personaje en compañía de un dragón y dos catanas es una locura.
*screeches about asskicking Kitty Pryde and Lockheed for five minutes*
Disappointing followup to X-Men: Kitty Pryde & Wolverine. The art was especially bad but the writing and even plotting could have been a lot better. It makes me wonder if Marvel has any idea how to draw and write a young adult Kitty Pryde at all. And if she'll ever get to grow up. It was good to see Lockheed though. This books does further remind the readers who Kitty Pryde is and what she can do - from speaking Japanese however so rusty or being a ninja.
Good enough on its own, a little cute - not what I'd call a proper third chapter after Wolverine and Kitty Pryde and Wolverine in the X-Japan saga. Didn't dislike it, but it went down a little smoother than maybe it should've.
A solid successor to Kitty Pryde & Wolverine. I liked that Cebulski didn't try and resurrect Ogun. This is about his legacy, another ninja clan he started. The plot threads can be a bit scattershot. In order to keep showing double crosses and betrayals, motivations behind then were often lost and unclear. I don't think it's necessary to have read the original, but why wouldn't you? The original was smack dab in the X-Men's prime.
Kitty Pride is summoned back to Japan under the impression that there is a female dragon that could be a good mate for Lockheed. But when she gets there, she gets dragged back into the world of Ogun, ninjas and all. It was a nice throwback to the Kitty Pryde and Wolverine series to revisit the Ogun storyline, and I'm glad Akira Yoshida took the wise approach of not bringing Ogun back to life somehow. Instead the legacy of Ogun is what survives, and Kitty's place in that is where the crux of the
Maybe it's because Kitty - along with Jessica Jones, though for different reasons - is probably my favorite Marvel female character that I rate Shadow & Flame 4 stars. At this point I would probably read just about any damn thing (Kitty Pryde - Assists Congress Balancing the Budget) featuring her. This time around she's on a solo adventure - only Cyclops makes a brief appearance in the opening page - in the Land of the Rising Sun involving dragons and ninjas. She capably kicks ass ("Don't make m...
someday ill read something that will explain where lockheed came from
Continuing the great x-read of 2017...While the story wasn't anything particularly *new* I quite enjoyed this one.It's nice when writers remember that Kitty is a kick-butt character who is smart and tough and highly trained in martial arts. Most writers seem to want to de-power her, it seems. This felt like the "real" Kitty Pryde to me.
This was SO fun. I LOVE competency porn, and I LOVE Kitty Pryde. The comic I read before this one was the Wolverine and the X-Men with Kitty's mystic pregnancy, and then I read this one and was like... remember when Kitty was bad-ass?! Remember when she was best friends with a dragon, had ninja know-how, and could out-think anyone?! Remember when she was such an honorable warrior that House Yashida let her wield their ancient sword?! Remember when she could speak Japanese and had incredible swor...
Story: 7/10Art: 6/10
I read this because I really wanted to see an example for what Marvel wanted an "authentic japanese voice" and the whole thing surrounding the author, but more on that at the end.One thing to note though: maybe this here looks better because prior to it, I read Atlantis Attacks # 1 and it is not difficult to be a better story than that crap. The story started nice with "the old flame" being the little dragon Lockhead's. Albeit it really looks more like the green dragon is held at ransom with the...
Sort of "ok" all the way around. The plot and art are both adequate, with no real surprises either way. A very standard, slightly too cutesy story. And I don't know why Kitty is suddenly kicking ninja butt all over the page. Apparently, in Marvel comics, ninjas are the wussiest of all possible villains. They're all like the Foot Soldiers from the old '80s TMNT show.
I liked that the story was basically about Kitty having to save her best friend (a.k.a. her dragon). It was very cute and fun in that way. I didn't actually know this was a sequel to previous plot but not having read Part One didn't really impact my enjoyment of Kitty's adventure. I definitely need to go back and read that now though!
Kitty Pryde doing what she does best kicking butt and taking names.
Kitty is such a good ninja.
