We are thrilled to welcome the voice of Kitty Pryde herself, Maggie Blue O’Hara! From phasing through walls in X-Men: Evolution to enchanting fans in Cardcaptor Sakura and My Little Pony, Maggie shares stories from her incredible career and what it means to bring a fan-favorite mutant to life.
Then, we crack open Astonishing X-Men #1. Kitty Pryde returns to the Xavier Institute and instantly finds herself in the middle of old grudges, new leadership drama, and a world-shattering revelation: there’s a cure for mutation. Cyclops wants the X-Men to finally step into the spotlight as superheroes—but will the world ever let them? It’s Kitty Pryde nostalgia, Sentinels in the Danger Room, Cyclops and Wolverine throwing hands, and one of the boldest story hooks in X-Men history—all in one episode.
