This issue sees Kitty’s father in a lot of trouble. Kitty makes some pretty silly decisions to try and help.
The story sends the characters to Tokyo.

Honestly, I wasn't too happy about Kitty’s choices. I understand that she’s young but she was an X-Men, she should have known better.

First time reading Kitty Pryde. Interesting character.

Nomor pertama dari miniseri Kitty Pryde & Wolverine. Dari keterangan di dalam komik, peristiwa ini terjadi setelah nomor 182 di serial X-Men (sebagai serial utama) ketika Colossus yang Kitty cintai justru bertemu dengan perempuan lain. Di sini diceritakan bahwa orang tua Kitty juga sudah bercerai dan Kitty sedang mengunjungi ayahnya. Ceritanya menarik. Kitty Pryde menemukan orang-0rang mencurigakan sedang berdiskusi dengan ayahnya di bank (ayah Kitty adalah presiden dan pemilik bank itu). Ayah Kitty harus pergi ke Jepang, menemui pemilik perusahaan yang membeli bank-nya. Kitty yang curiga pada orang-orang itu dan merasa bahwa ayahnya sedang berada dalam bahaya, memutuskan untuk menyusul ke Jepang, dengan cara yang ilegal. Kekuatan cerita terletak pada usaha Kitty Pryde mencari ayahnya di Tokyo, Jepang. Di kota itu ia bahkan jadi buronan polisi. Tapi mengapa Kitty Pryde tidak memberitahu teman-temannya sesama X-Men?

As of the first issue, my only real problem is why does this exist? At the time of this issue, Rogue and Storm have been having solo time, so why couldn’t Kitty and Wolverine have had solo time in the main series? Unlike the original solo series of Wolverine in Japan, wherein the tone was very different, this reads and feels just like a normal X-men issue.

Otherwise, it’s a good story of Kitty being a stupid teenager, but her robbing an ATM was actually a great scene, showing she is a good person in her heart and why people like her don’t abuse their powers. The artwork isn’t the best, but the panel work is interesting, with lots of vertical panels.

Ok first off I’m giving this four stars primarily cause I’m a Kitty Pryde fan. This issue starts the mini series and really spends most of its story on Kitty’s powers. (Pluses and Minuses). This issue is Kitty running from one bad decision to another. No Wolverine really in this issue.
