Kitty Pryde has been turned into a brainwashed ninja assassin. Now it's up to Wolverine to bring Kitty back to the light and get to the bottom of the debacle with her father.
Chris Claremont is a writer of American comic books, best known for his 16-year (1975-1991) stint on Uncanny X-Men, during which the series became one of the comic book industry's most successful properties.
Claremont has written many stories for other publishers including the Star Trek Debt of Honor graphic novel, his creator-owned Sovereign Seven for DC Comics and Aliens vs Predator for Dark Horse Comics. He also wrote a few issues of the series WildC.A.T.s (volume 1, issues #10-13) at Image Comics, which introduced his creator-owned character, Huntsman.
Outside of comics, Claremont co-wrote the Chronicles of the Shadow War trilogy, Shadow Moon (1995), Shadow Dawn (1996), and Shadow Star (1999), with George Lucas. This trilogy continues the story of Elora Danan from the movie Willow. In the 1980s, he also wrote a science fiction trilogy about female starship pilot Nicole Shea, consisting of First Flight (1987), Grounded! (1991), and Sundowner (1994). Claremont was also a contributor to the Wild Cards anthology series.
This story took a turn I did not see coming! I’m glad that it isn’t what I expected but I’m worried how it’s going to progress. Wolverine is in Tokyo now and I’m very intrigued to see what happens when he finally meets up with Kitty, who's undergone a major transformation...
Side note: The cover of this issue takes on a whole new meaning when you’ve actually read it!
Kitty Pryde jatuh ke tangan Ogun. Ia kemudian dicuci otak dan dilatih menjadi ninja pembunuh. Lawan pertama yang harus ia hadapi adalah Wolverine. Proses pencucian otak dan pelatihan Kitty Pryde barangkali menjadi adegan yang paling mencolok di nomor ini. Saya membayangkan bahwa di tahun 80-an dulu, Jepang masih menjadi eksotisme yang menarik bagi masyarakat Barat.
A very interesting issue, though I don’t think it’s a direction the character of Kitty really needed to be taken in. But it is very cool, and the conditioning scenes are expressive and creative. The aesthetic of the oni mask is really effective.
