Exclusive Preview: X-Men Gold Annual #2 Flashes Back To Kitty Pryde’s Past

Within the pages of X-Men Gold, Kitty Pryde emerged as the new leader of the team and seemed poised at finally finding happiness with her long time love interest, Peter Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus. Like any couple, Kitty and Peter have had their ups and downs, like the time he broke her heart after Secret Wars, or the time he went a little crazy and joined Magneto’s Acolytes. Not the best look, Peter! But ultimately, their love conquered all,,,or so we thought. In the end, Kitty left Peter at the alter and the X-Men have barely begun to process what that means for the couple and the team itself.

Next week, writer Seanan McGuire and artist Marco Failla will team up for a previously undisclosed chapter from Kitty’s past that may shed light on her current heartbreak. In our exclusive preview for X-Men Gold Annual #2, Kitty receives some words of wisdom from Storm before venturing out to Camp Maplebrook and reuniting with some of her summer camp friends. For Kitty, the good times are back, but they surely can’t last. After all, this is a superhero book!

Here’s the official description from Marvel: “Your favorite X-Man KITTY PRYDE just made the biggest decision of her tumultuous romantic life, but what set her on that course? Before Peter, Peter, or…Peter, there was Kitty’s FIRST kiss! Hugo and Nebula Award-winning writer Seanan McGuire (InCryptid, October Daye, Wayward Children series) and artist Marco Failla (MS. MARVEL, ALL-NEW WOLVERINE, Harley Quinn) reveal the secrets of young Kitty’s summer at Camp Maplebrook in a story with more teen mutant angst and camp hijinks than can be contained in a regular-sized issue! Kitty’s kept this tale to herself for years – be the first to find out why!”
