An issue of getting stronger and healing.
Wolverine is still recovering from the last issue but instead of focusing on his healing, he helps Kitty.

I like the message of choice. Everyone should have the right to choose what they want to do or not do.

I’m very interested in seeing the consequences of what Kitty chose to do at the end of this comic.

I didn’t care for this issue, honestly. The moral seems to be Wolverine teaching Kitty to be string and independent, not relying on, or needing, others. But honestly, that feels counter to the philosophy of the X-Men. They aren’t just a team, they are a group of marginalised people that can work together to lift each other up. The loner quality works for Wolverine, and while he gives Kitty the choice, he doesn’t give Xavier, or the other X-Men, the choice to help. So yeah, not a fan of the morality in this one, and he even leaves her to die in the snow. No one is an island, and no one should have to stand alone, nor should they feel they have to stand alone. That may suit some people, but most of us function better wuth support - just as the X-Men do.

Di nomor ini, giliran Wolverine yang melatih Kitty Pryde agar gadis itu menjadi kuat jiwa raganya sehingga bisa menghadapi dan mengalahkan Ogun. Di sini, penulis juga memperlihatkan kecintaannya kepada budaya Jepang.
