Kitty Pryde and Wolverine is an excellent mini-series, written by long-time X-men scribe Chris Claremont and drawn by Al Milgrom.

The series focuses on a new direction in the Kitty Pryde character, transforming her into the ninja Shadowcat after her abduction by an evil, immortal ninja.

Wolverine comes to Japan to save Kitty and along the way offers her some training in the ways of the assassin.

In many ways, this mini-series serves as a companion piece to the Claremont-Miller Wolverine mini-series. If you have read that, you should definitely read this.

This mini-series would also be greatly enjoyed by fans of the X-men, and anyone who loves good writing and art. In short, it's a true classic.

This series got me hooked on Kitty & Wolverine characters way back when. Kitty really came unto her own, grew up and started to kick some ass. There is a sequel with her (but not Wolverine) called Shadow & Flame. Writer Chris Claremont at the top of his game.

This comic book is a classic story involving Wolverine and Kitty Pride for all fans. When this story was published, there weren't many stories about Wolverine's past, different from now. And the part relating to Japan's ninja training was always one of the most interesting chapters in Wolverine's life. So, the first time I read this book (years ago...), introducing Wolverine's master and discovering that actually he isn't a "good guy" and now he is trying to change Kitty Pride (until now an inocent girl..) in a trully human weapon, I imagine how hard was Wolverine's past, not only because the Project Weapon X, but probably in all chapters in his life. If his master is an evil ninja, imagine the rest of his past. Nowadays we know Wolverine's past (after House of M...) with a lot of details, but years ago it was one of the secret arms of Marvel Comics (because we didn't know his true name, age, relatives, etc., different of all other super heroes).
