51. Kitty Pryde: Shadow & Flame by Akira Yoshida and Paul Smith. One of the nice things about getting comics at the library is that I can take a chance on things I might not read otherwise. Which isn't to say that I'm not an X-Men fan, or a Kitty Pryde fan; but one of the least convincing things in Kitty's backstory was the miniseries Kitty Pryde and Wolverine, wherein she went to Japan with Wolverine for a few months and became a martial arts master. This miniseries is more or less a sequel to that one. It's satisfying that it's just Kitty now--well, Kitty and Lockheed--and no Wolvie around to rescue her if things get bad. But the whole thing feels rushed, the story feels forced, and the dialogue, particularly near the end, is awful.
