Back in 2004 during Josh Whedon and John Cassaday's epic run of Astonishing X-men, the duo accomplished two things that would literally define the rest of the X-titles from that moment to the present. First, they brought back Colossus, aka Peter Rasputin, who died after giving his life to make a cure for the dreaded Legacy Virus. What would have been a awesome comeback soon turned to tragedy and loss once more, as Peter's lover and teammate, Kitty Pryde (aka Shadowcat), sacrificed her safety and well-being in order to phase a gigantic bullet that passed through the Earth, thereby preventing its destruction at the hands of the Breakworld. Since then, Kitty has been presumed dead and lost to the vast reaches of spaces, but knowing how comic book death is treated these days, a comeback is never impossible, and what do you know, Marvel.com has announced and prepared a little trailer that teases Kitty's return this year!As the youngest member of the X-men back in the day, Kitty has no doubt remained one of the most memorable characters in the X-franchise. Her return, set to happen in Uncanny X-men #522 this March, will no doubt be anticipated by fans... but how is she coming back, and how will her teammates react? Only time will tell, but for now, I'm looking forward to Shadowcat's return!
