This was a pretty decent issue. It was more about Kitty than Wolverine though. It was set about the time that the X-Men had beaten Magneto. I know. Which time? Well . . it was set shortly after Uncanny #150. The X-Men were left on the island waiting for their transport to be fixed and they hear a sound. The Professor, figuring that it was pretty innocuous asks Kitty to investigate with a new mentor . . Cyclops. Anyways, long story short, since this was a city risen from the bottom of the ocean by Magneto, there's bound to be some 'stuff' lying around that probably shouldn't be played with. Basically, Kitty and Scott stumble across the 'intern' of an old chaos lord that had been sealed in an underground cave. Actually, it looks more like he was thrown to the bottom of a well. He tries to appeal to Kitty's sympathy and get her to let him out, but luckily Scott is the voice of reason. They try to get out but with all the magical inscriptions written all over everything, that seems to be almost impossible. That is until Wolverine unwittingly removes the crystal that locks the doors. Kitty and Scott get out, but . . they almost let out chaos on Earth also. So how does Kitty handle all of this? First she scolds Logan, "Why don't you leave Cyclops alone for once, huh?! He's been through a lot!" And then she tells the Professor that she'd rather have Logan for her teacher. "Wolverine has done other things. Wolverine has seen the world. He's got . . perspective. That's what I think I need." I like the way Fred Van Lente is handling this series. Much in the same way he did X-Men: First Class. Except, this one seems a little more serious than that one did. But it's still pretty upbeat. I also thoroughly enjoyed Scott Koblish's art. He's also using a 'fresher' style here. It fits the book well. Overall it was an enjoyable book.
