I read this back to back with Yoshida's "Wolverine: Soultaker", and this is a far superior story. Placing Kitty Pryde back in Japan to ostensibly find another dragon for Lockeed to hang out with makes for a fun story. And while the backstory from Pryde & Wolverine's previous Japan outing is a foundatoin for this story, the way the flashbacks always end with someone snapping her out of daydreaming is a structurally weak storytelling device.
The art is fine, although the shadows were off enough to be noticable, which is a sure sign to just leave out shadows from your art.
If you're a Kitty Pryde or a Lockheed fan, this story is worth reading, for casual X-fans it's just ok.

Disappointing followup to [b:X-Men: Kitty Pryde & Wolverine|2730331|X-Men Kitty Pryde & Wolverine|Chris Claremont|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1257693145s/2730331.jpg|2755966]. The art was especially bad but the writing and even plotting could have been a lot better. It makes me wonder if Marvel has any idea how to draw and write a young adult Kitty Pryde at all. And if she'll ever get to grow up. It was good to see Lockheed though. This books does further remind the readers who Kitty Pryde is and what she can do - from speaking Japanese however so rusty or being a ninja.

This was SO fun. I LOVE competency porn, and I LOVE Kitty Pryde.
The comic I read before this one was the Wolverine and the X-Men with Kitty's mystic pregnancy, and then I read this one and was like... remember when Kitty was bad-ass?! Remember when she was best friends with a dragon, had ninja know-how, and could out-think anyone?! Remember when she was such an honorable warrior that House Yashida let her wield their ancient sword?! Remember when she could speak Japanese and had incredible swordsmanship?!
I miss those days.
This was a fantastic run. I want it. And I want someone good to write the X-Men again so we can have more comics like this one.

While I really like the character of Kitty Pryde, and she shines here, I was not wowed by the storyline.

I liked that the story was basically about Kitty having to save her best friend (a.k.a. her dragon). It was very cute and fun in that way. I didn't actually know this was a sequel to previous plot but not having read Part One didn't really impact my enjoyment of Kitty's adventure. I definitely need to go back and read that now though!

Mainly this made me nostalgic for the original Kitty Pryde-Wolverine mini-series, both artwork and storyline.
