This is actually a 3 issue mini-series and 2 reprints. The reprints are from the Black Vortex and Age of Apocalypse trades and they even advertise those at the end of each. Nothing like paying extra money for Marvel Commercials.
As far as the new material goes, it's just "meh". I haven't found any of these Secret Wars minis that I've really enjoyed yet. There's no real characterization as these iterations of the characters will cease to exist at the end of Secret Wars. Even the stories themselves have little point. They feel more like tryouts from artists and writers to make the big leagues.

This was a nice little caper. It was a lot of fun in a tidy package and, at three issues, didn't outstay its welcome.
Also, it was nice to see Widget again. Original Excalibur rocks! :-)

The only problem with this miniseries is that it's too damn short. It's only three issues! On hand, that's probably the right length for the story. If they'd added more or stretched it out, it would have felt thin. On the other... three new issues in a trade? I'm not sure what the solution is, other than to maybe pair it with another short Secret Wars miniseries. There's an attempt to pad it out with a random Black Vortex issue and a really unfortunate Age of Apocalypse issue. There's nothing inherently wrong with the Black Vortex stuff. That's a decent story, if you read it all together. It's just pointless here. Likewise for the AoA stuff, except that one is, in actual point of fact, not good. I get why they included it, but nobody really needs to revisit the marginal AoA crap.
But judging the miniseries on its own merits, it's my favorite of the Secret Wars minis so far. And maybe it's because it focuses so much on the actual characters of Peter and (non-616) Kitty. This couple has really grown on me. They're awfully cute together. I'm totally charmed by the idea of Peter getting by singing Disney ballads in a nightclub, and even more so by having Kitty's one multiversal constant be her love of Once Upon a Dream from Sleeping Beauty. Which makes a certain amount of sense to me- the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty owes a lot to Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty ballet, and Kitty is, or at least used to be, a talented dancer. Parts of this book feel a little bit like scenes from Indiana Jones, but it's really far more of a romantic comedy, and I loved it for that.
But this really is very, very short, and if you don't already love Kitty and Peter as a couple this sure won't change your mind. Even though I really, really liked it, I'd hesitate to recommend it to a lot of people, and I wouldn't suggest anyone buy it. That's what libraries and Marvel Unlimited are for.

Super-fun romp with a gaggle of ridiculous characters. Shallow Comics Readers approved!
Nice art by some relative newcomers, Alti Firmansyah and Jessica Kholinne:
Plus someone's got a great sense of humour:
[Drax has never looked so stylish]
The basic premise of the story is Kitty works for Valeria to track down anything that doesn't fit Doom's all-God theory, and Peter is one of those anomalies. Hijinx ensue:
Like running into clumsy funny robot clones of the New Mutants:
AND some actual Battleworld info - first time I've seen this anywhere (but I'm assuming this was shared among all the writers at the big Battleworld architects meet up in Hickman's basement - right after he showed off his new Marvel 8 1/2" figurines):
I'll admit, Sam Humphries hasn't so far made an indelible impression on me. Of the new crop of writers in Marvel's frequent escapades, he's neither stood out well (like Al Ewing or G. Willow Wilson, who's on my must-pull list) or poorly (like Cullen Bunn or...well, someone else obviously forgettable).
But if I've like both this book and Avengers AI, that's definitely putting Mr. Humphries in contention to get called up to the majors.

First of all this book directly conflicts with secret Wars. In that book, Star-Lord was part of the team from the raft and was there for the big plan to attack Doom’s Castle. Here, they just have him off doing his own thing. Why even have an editor at all? Anyway, on to the story. It was……cool I suppose. Not terrible but not anything to get excited about. Kitty Pride is on a mission and crosses paths with Star-Lord. They get caught up in some hi jinx and end up having to work together. Pretty short story and like I said it ended up just being Ok.

Fine short little story with a lot of filler to get a whole book.

I love this little BattleWord/Secret Wars story. Kitty from the Age of Apocalypse universe is badass (as are all Kitty Prydes). Watching her interact with Star-Lord from Earth-616 whom is in love/engaged to that Kitty Pryde(616) was fantastic. I loved it.

It's a fun story. Lots of humor and character bits. And the art is lots of fun too!
May 10, 2019
Secret Wars was clearly a very well done event seeing as even the filler is worth a read. There's nothing substantial here and their are certainly both better and more important things to read as part of the Secret Wars event but it's a whole lot of fun and well worth a read if you're a fan of either character or them both as a couple.

I did not expect this to start with a "Little Mermaid" song, nor to find the artwork so similar to Disney's. I smiled reading all three volumes, and sometimes you just need something cozy on a rainy day that isn't Doom and the worst of the Universe that is left.

Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde is a surprisingly charming tale set along the edges of Marvel’s massive Secret Wars event.
At the outset, Peter Quill is hiding out in one of the more stable corners of Battleworld, working as an unlikely lounge singer. An alt-Drax, with a cheery attitude, natty suit and massive pompadour, works the door. The Age of Apocalypse version of Kitty (complete with Wolverine-esque claws) enters the club to meet an alterna-Gambit, a shifty operator known as “The Collector.” Kitty works for Valeria Doom’s science foundation, tasked with tracking down and debunking “anomalies” that could disprove Doom’s divinity. A series of mishaps propels Peter and Kitty on a caper, where sparks and witty banter fly freely.
Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde is at turns a riff on Casablanca and a lost episode of Moonlighting. Writer Sam Humphries has done a lot of nice work recently without getting the fanfare some of his peers reap. Here, he takes what could have been a throwaway placeholder story and makes it an entertaining, at times quite moving, character piece. Peter is still irrepressible and goofy, but the ache he feels over having lost “his” Kitty is well-handled. The AOA Kitty has more depth than you might expect and Humphries uses her as a vehicle to explore questions of faith and doubt. That he packs so much into a rather straight-forward caper story that wraps in three issues is impressive. It’s not “epic” by any means, but it’s entertaining and engaging.
Indonesian artist Alti Firmansyah hasn’t done a lot in the U.S. market, but her work here is rather promising. It’s bright and clean, working in distinct Disney and manga influences that serve the fast-paced, light-hearted story quite well. Firmansyah’s strength is expressive character work. The cast pops off the page with a playful joy that fits what Humphries is doing quite well. Color artist Jessica Kholinne comes across with a warm, soft palette that wraps the whole thing in a fantasy sheen that gives the work an appealing glow.
Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde pads out its collected edition with a reprint of the first appearance of the AOA Kitty Pryde, as well as a recent story featuring Peter and Kitty’s engagement. Overall, it’s a charming, enjoyable collection. While not really a “must read,” fans of the characters and their relationship will enjoy this a lot. It’s one of the more creative Secret Wars tie-ins and is worth reading if you come across it.

Who'd guess that if someone managed to write a good Secret Wars crossover book, it'd be Sam Humphries!? But this is entirely charming. It's a great look at a Peter Quill and Kitty Pryde and their love, with a fun bit of caper and a good bit of fun along the way.
I think the book is helped by the fact that this is the real Peter Quill, giving us a strong basis to care for the character. Choosing the actual Kitty Pryde from the Age of Apocalypse was also an excellent choice. But mostly it's the writing that carries the book.
On the downside, this collection is horribly put together. A short three-issue mini-series is padded out with an entirely incoherent Black Vortex issue (why???) and the Age of Apocalypse Generation Next story that introduced AoA Kitty ... but which is still pretty superfluous. Marvel being up to their usual tricks of padding out their volumes, to waste our money and shelf space was almost enough for me to drop this book to three stars.

5 stars for the Disney references! They own everything I love.

At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm suffering from Guardians of the Galaxy fatigue.
As I've pointed out in other reviews of Guardians related books, I view most of the Guardians of the Galaxy titles as an attempt by Marvel to cash in on the success of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, conveniently forgetting that publishing eight million X-Men related titles in the 1990s was a mistake. In fact, it's almost like they want to rub the reader's nose in it, as there is a giant crossover called The Black Vortex that is Guardians/X-Men crossover. In fact, they provide the final chapter of Black Vortex in this volume because it doesn't make sense for Marvel to release a trade paperback of just the Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde miniseries. We need some filler! So why not add the last chapter of a crossover that has its own collected edition? Why not?
By the way, as I write this, my local library has a copy of The Black Vortex sitting on hold waiting for me to pick it up later today. So I ignored that part of this book. Maybe there is some link to the Star-Lord and Kitty pryde miniseries in Black Vortex: Omega that I am missing by ignoring it now, but I'll run that risk. I've read so many of the Black Vortex stories out of order in other Guardians related trades that at this point I just want to read them in order so I know what the hell is going on.
This trade also reprints an Age of Apocalypse comic called Generation Next which was a riff off the Generation X title, because it's important that you know where the version of Kitty that is the star of the miniseries came from (because you might not know how she got Wolverine claws.) I had read this before, Age of Apocalypse is like most crossovers--good in theory, spotty (and in this case bloated) in execution. However, I was a fan of Chris Bachalo's art from his days on Shade, the Changing Man so at least I have something nice to say. But again, it's just more filler to justify the content.
And then there is the series itself. Basically this miniseries justified cancelling the Legendary Star-Lord book (as if the fact that it was a bald money grab wasn't enough) in the wake of Hickman's Secret Wars. Since that series had build up from most of Hickman's runs on Fantastic Four and various Avengers related titles and was fairly self contained (apart from, you know, destroying most of the Marvel multiverse) it was possible to have some spin-off miniseries like Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde, but just because you could do something means that you should do something. Especially if your inclination is also to make Gambit a major player as well. A raft of bad ideas, building off one of the worst (Quill and Kitty dating), is just going to be even crappier down the road.
Also, on Battleworld, Drax has hair.
Okay, that's it. I'm done.

This is a Secret Wars tie-in graphic novel. This was a great and fun read. It had all my favorite characters with Kitty, Star-Lord, Drax, and Gambit. I wish it would have been longer than 3 issues but I've read a few other Secret War tie-ins that were longer that should have been cut down.
This Graphic novel also had some other issues included. One is part of the Black Vortex event and the other one is an old issue that ties into Age of Apocalypse. Both can be skipped if you have no knowledge of the history of these events. I read both of these before, but for other Graphic Novels I do like to read old stories to get little insights into certain characters.
For the Black Vortex you can skip to the end where they celebrate and you'll see some cute scenes between Kitty and Star-Lord as a couple.
I read Age of Apocalypse a long time ago and it was a trip down memory lane re-reading it. It brought up some things that I've forgotten.
The Age of Apocalypse I remember being a fun read. I would track down that Graphic Novel if you want to read some X-men. It's about an alternate reality where Apocalypse is in charge.

It's StarKat together again! In this three issues series, we find Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, living in the Battleworld of Manhattan as a club singer, using Captain America's name as his alias. While there, he comes across the Age of Apocalypse version of Kitty Pryde, who works for a group called the Foundation, run by Doctor Doom's daughter, that finds and study objects or 'anomaly' not of the Battleworld. In his shock, Star-Lord interrupts a dealing between Kitty and Gambit the Collector, who runs off with the anomaly and a set of blades from Kitty; she and Star-Lord must team up to steal them back. Along the way, sparks fly for the two as Peter sees how different and how similar this Kitty is to his own.
Along with Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde, it also contains the end of the Guardian of the Galaxy and X-Men crossover, The Black Vortex and also, the first appearance of the Age of Apocalypse Kitty Pryde. If you're looking for a quick and fun read or just a fan of Star-Lord and Kitty together, then this is the trade for you.

Historia z jaką się zapoznałem posiada tylko trzy zeszyty i to jest chyba największa wada tego tytułu, który szybko się czyta i po lekturze ma się niedosyt. Ten Star-Lord jest jednym z ocalałych z statku Arki Pana Fantastycznego, które zostało odkryte dopiero w czasie akcji Secret Wars.
To ważny szczegół, bowiem ta wersja Kitty Pryde poszukuje anomalii, czyli rzeczy, które godzą w doktrynę szerzoną przez zwolenników Boga Dooma. W posiadaniu takowego ma się znajdować tutejsza wersja Gambita. Tyle, że pannie Kitty trafia się lepszy kąsek. Żywa anomalia. I się zaczyna. Sporo humoru, któremu towarzyszą całkiem niezłe dialogi oraz naprawdę dobra kreska.
A to zasługa Alti Firmansyah oraz Jessici Kholinne, już może nie debiutantek, ale na pewno początkujących artystek, których kreska ma potencjał i to widać. Dzięki czemu całość jest naprawdę fajna w odbiorze, co tylko podbija dodanie kilku zeszytów chociażby z wydarzenia Black Vortex (aczkolwiek nie jest to całościowo dobry event). Niemniej sama relacja Kitty-Peter jest świetna.

Star-Lord survived the destruction of the universes along with some of the other heroes. So he gets a job as a lounge singer. That's a natural progression, right? Meanwhile the Kitty Pryde from the Age of Apocolypse works as an agent for Doom, searching for anomalies on Battleworld. Kitty and Peter have a rom-com won't-admit-they-like-each-other adventure. He gets mad at her for murdering someone in cold blood, but then goes all "Aw, shucks, I can't stay mad at you." They bicker some more, stop the bad guy, share one kiss, then roll credits.
This was pretty entertaining. And it actually utilized the Battleworld setting, rather than just being an alternate reality story. But it was only three issues long, so there's an extra two issues of filler. If the bonus content is almost as long as the story, that's a problem.

great series, short but very sweet, fun and full of emotion. we follow peter, who is one of the originals from the universe before battleworld, he came in the life raft created by reed, somehow he got separated from the rest and ended up singing disney songs at the quiet room... it really fits his character!
finally we get to see one of our life raft characters in a tie-in and not in the main timeline. peter's new relationship with this "new" was very interesting and dynamic. the art was a overall really awesome and captivating. as well, peter's interactions with characters who he'd met before but were different versions of themselves. give my man a break!! specially after he carries around rockets tail for emotional support...
i would have loved to see this particular tie in a few issues longer, even if it was just by two. def one of my favorites

Star-Lord is one of the few people that survived from the regular Earth-616 universe and ended up on Battleworld. Alongside main players like Reed Richards, the two Spider-Mans, Thor... you have Star-Lord. And what does he do with his time? He's a lounge singer (which is great) and gets involved with the Age of Apocalypse version of Kitty Pryde while they run around Battleword for three issues. It's a light story that's totally inconsequetional and is completely catered to the maybe a dozen people who actually care about the Quill/Pryde romance- even though that was maybe the worst part of Sam Humphries' original Legendary Star-Lord run.

This is a fun book with really great art. It never really gets bogged down with the heavy details of Secret Wars, and when it does reference the overall world, it does it quickly and moves on to its own small, self contained story.
The plot at times seems to jump a bit without explanation, but again, its not a book that really merits heavy scrutiny. Not to say its bad, I enjoyed it and again, it looks gorgeous.
If your looking for a fun, funny book with good art based on Kitty Pryde and Star Lord, check this one out.

Far and away the worst of the Secret Wars miniseries. The only joke that works is Drax with hair. Other than that, every attempt at humor falls flat. So does every attempt at action and romance. I might feel a little better about this if it ended by reuniting Star-Lord with Mr. Fantastic and The Maker, which he eventually is over the course of Secret Wars. But it does not, so it feels totally extraneous because there's pretty much nothing of substance in it, and what is in it is pure drivel.

So here's my thoughts. I loved the beginning part where it's the new kitty and peter. But after that I got confused on the direction of the rest of the book and there were a lot of pan eps about characters I didn't know and honestly I could have read them but honestly skipped over them I'm sure they are great an all I just had no interest. I loved nearing the end there was peter and the og kitty scene where peters proposed and that was super cute.

The Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde series was so cute! A little overly cutesy and silly perhaps but it was clearly not trying to be much more than that. I also really enjoyed the throws-backs to the New Mutants and Excalibur. This book also contained like random filler out-of-context issues which was silly in a bad way.

4 estrellas que para estos tie-ins de Secret Wars serían casi un 7
Star-Lord era uno de los tripulantes de las naves salvavidas de Reed, ahora en Battleworld, se gana la vida como cantante, hasta que se encuentra con una de las versiones de Kitty Pryde, su antiguo amor, pero en una versión la cual trabaja para Dios Doom, buscando anomalías, como el mismo Star-Lord

Peter and Kitty are great together even if this Kitty isn't who we're used to. This Battleworld book is also a bit different as we don't learn much about the world, just a handful of characters. The book is just about their relationship and how it differs from our Kitty and Peter. The art is fine but unspectacular. Overall, a fun but harmless read.

Kitty Pryde is my favorite Marvel character, so I was happy to pick this story up. I was completely lost. I think there are a lot of other stories in the Marvel universe that I would have need to have read to follow along. This graphic novel also has two stories tacked on to make it a fuller read. Just so-so.

A fun, beautifully illustrated story starring Kitty Pryde and Star Lord. Provides sufficient, well-integrated backstory so that even a reader unfamiliar with the Battleworld story arc will have no problem following the action. An engaging and enjoyable collection.

This score is only for the 3 issues of Star-Lord & Kitty Pryde Battleworld in this issue.
I didn't read over the two other single versions in this collection.
I just wish the SL&KPBW was longer than 3 issues. It was cheesy, but I loved it.
