I love Kitty. And I think one of the reasons I liked her in Astonishing was because she was the perfect character for Whedon to write.

Of course, I also thought Ellen Paige’s Kitty was one of the best parts of X-Men 3, so I’m probably biased.

So, I’m sure that what I’m about to say sounds funny. It always sounds funny when someone says it. It’s like when people a decade ago used to say the Little Mermaid was hot. But….I’ve always had the hots for Kitty Pryde; even from the beginning. She has always been such a great, well, written character. She is the lovable girl. My first comic book crush…haha

However, somehow she had kind of been put to the side in the background by X-men writers the last few years. I believe you touched on this a bit, but Whedon brought back Shadowcat as such an intelligent, funny presence on the team. It was excellent! And something has to be said for Cassiday’s art. I know I’m going to get the “What a Weirdo” Award, but he draws a gorgeous looking Kitty Pryde.

I really enjoyed this episode even though it’s been a long while since I’ve picked up a comic book.
