Kitty first threatens basically a Japanese mob boss to leave her father alone.
Then she goes after the man who brainwashed her (and cut her hair!)

I was surprised and pleased to see Mariko and Amiko (or Akiko as she was called this entire issue).
I don't know how long they've been together but I do love the bond they share.

Also, Kitty rebrands herself as ‘Shadowcat’, which IS so much better than ‘Ariel’.

What I found interesting was that Kitty’s ninja training faded and yet she still battled Ogūn.
She said it and you could see it, that she is no longer a girl.

I hate how villified Carmen Pryde is in this. Wolverine criticises him for what? Laundering money? Scamming rich people so that poor people have a better chance? Carmen’s a bloody hero in my book. Wolverine has straight up murdered dozens of people, but he balks at skimming money to help people? Fuck you, Wolverine.

The rest of the issue is a long fight between Kitty and Ogun. It’s decent, but better artwork would have helped make the fight more interesting to look at.

Tampaknya nomor ini bisa dibilang sebagai awal kemunculan Kitty Pryde sebagai Shadowcat, meskipun baru gagasan. Kitty Pryde kini harus menghadapi Ogun, guru sekaligus musuhnya. Dengan taktik menyamar sebagai Mariko, dia menjebak Ogun. Tapi cukup kuatkah pelatihan yang diberikan Wolverine kepada Kitty?

First appearance of Shadowcat persona! I absolutely love everything about this mini series!
