So this is the regular issue plus some bonus back up features such as covers and character designs.
Here is Kitty’s :
Apparently Cassaday did the original sketches for the Reload Covers that seemed silly at the time.
Astonishing X-Men 1, up close of Wolverine’s extended claws
Uncanny X-Men 444, Kurt’s tail
New X-Men Academy 1, Icarus’ wing tip
X-Men 157, Iceman’s right side of his face
I own all of these except for New X-Men Academy.
If you like the half sketch for the cover, there is a full sketch version of the cover. I wish I own the team cover.
The bonus section ends with script excerpts. pages 11, 12 and 13 are what is seen.
Kitty is mentioned on the last featured page of 13.
