I totally agree! I love the campy nature that's been building between Kitty and Emma. Kitty's always been my favorite and now she's all grown up.
The guest at the end was waaaay out of left field for me. Totally loved it, but one of the last people I'd expect! Rock on!!!

The special guest was indeed a surprise. I'm going to reserve total judgment about it until further events are explained.
Loved Kitty in this issue. Beast didn't quite get the focus I expected, and I'm actually upset by Wing's current plight that he's gotten himself into.
This new villain Ord is definitely on my "They're Evil!" list after this issue. I don't hate the character, I just don't like him and his actions within the book. Kinda like Lantern and Arrow recently in Legion.

Just a reminder, SoM, But you need some sort of spacing at the beginning of your post in case anybody's going through the "Today's Active Topics" link.
With that in mind:
* * * * * * * * * ... this kinda has me pissed off. I was quitting the X-books around the time they killed Piotr off-- people have heard me rant about how they decided the books were based on the movie, and not the other way around -- and his death was really the capper. (Especially with the next month's cover, Cyclops in a black visor and leather get-up... ). I was shocked that they'd killed him off, but the character was played out. His family was gone, he'd betrayed teh dream and returned as the Prodigal... the character was just treading water. His sacrifice to rid the world of the disease that took his sister from him was very in-character.
All that said, I don't see how they can reasonably explain his death and cremation away in any manner that won't make a farce out of the original story. And I'm suddenly glad I didn't fall for the hype around Astonishing .

I'm glad to see the character back, but like Pov and SoM...there's really no way you could explain this return and make me happy. I'd accepted Colossus as dead; he doesn't need to be brought back. I don't know if Whedon did it for shock or what, but I really don't feel it was the brightest move. I'm having a hard enough time with Magneto being back, Xorn being around, and Jean always still hovering over us (X-Men: The End).
So much for dead means dead. That lasted, what, two years? Way to go, Joe Q.
As stated elsewhere, I love the series and this issue, but the only thing I liked about the Colossus return was Kitty's reaction...and that I could get if she was dreaming he had returned or someone had morphed into the character. I really don't like having a rug pulled out from under me, let alone a rug I had already thrown away and forgotten about.

I knew it!! ...even though I suspected it was Colossus, it was an exciting scene and buildup cuz you knew Kitty had to be the one to find him. I was never a big Colossus fan but I don't mind that he's back. Bringing Magneto back a month or two after he died is one thing, but something like this I can overlook if Joss gives us a good story out of it.
The cremated body thing could be explained with a body swiping/switching scenario prior to cremation (assuming there was no autopsy). I guess we'll find out next month what Joss has in mind.
