Is getting this simply for Kitty Pryde : Agent of SHIELD, Wolverine : Days of Future Past 1-3 (Kate is mentioned 1, and cameos in 2), and Wolverine Encyclopedia 1 & 2? For $125, maybe not, but for half off? Maybe.
Wolverine’s wedding to Viper will be in Volume 7, and that is the one I would be more tempted to get.

From the ashes of the Krakoan era, a new age begins for the X-Men!
Krakoa is gone, Orchis has fallen — but the X-Men remain, always. Cyclops leads, because that is what he does. Beast builds, because that is what he does. And from their new home in Alaska, the X-Men raise a flag of defiance. Mutant business is their business. Join Scott, Hank, Magneto, Psylocke, Kid Omega, Temper, Magik and the unstoppable Juggernaut as new forces in the world move into position, battling for the destiny and philosophy of the mutant species. And when a crisis arises in San Francisco, the X-Men must test their mettle against an entire invading alien fleet! But how did they come to possess their HQ, the Factory, and how difficult of a position does that put them in? Plus: The shocking return of Trevor Fitzroy and the Upstarts!

Magik is getting her first ongoing series!
Written by Ashley Allen who did such a wonderful outstanding job with Blood Hunt : Magik, we’re in great hands, ya’ll!
Here is hoping we get 50 issues and Kitty & Lockheed are in half of the issues.
I’m not sure which cover I want, they all look so good.
. . .
Rogue : Savage Land also seems like months too late.
Cable : Love and Chrome, for all those who felt they were missing Cable when he wasn’t around for the relaunch.
Marvel & Disney : What If : Mickey Mouse and Friends were the Fantastic Four?
I’m passing on this as the last two were not stellar or that cute.
Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon 1. I wasn’t that impress with Doom in Avengers 19, so I feel like I’m in for a very long two years of Doom centric stories.

Saying the past is the past doesn’t make it so, and Kitty is carrying the weight of her choices.

Now that the truth is out, so is Melee, leaving the EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN on the rocks.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
I want that Kitty cover!
oh no, I hadn’t even thought about the public learning about Kate killing all of those Orchis jerks!
This is going to be real bad, ya’ll
Reading it one more time, maybe Emma just lets it slip OR! Emma is doing a telepathic training, and Kitty’s thoughts wander for all to see.
. . .
X-Factor 6, Frenzy at Havok’s throat?! Yes please
X-Force 7, Rachel & Betsy are getting the focus of the issue! YAASSS!
X-Men Xavier’s Secret 1, ugh that title. Sally Floyd is interesting. I checked fandom, as this collects X-Men From the Ashes Infinity Comics 1-6, and no Kitty Pryde, so no interest in this from me.
Red Band comics are here to stay for a little long, eh?
Avengers 22, Black Cat joins the team?! With Storm?! and Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch?! What a line up!
. . .
So that’s January 2024. What are you most excited for?
I’m personally excited for Exceptional X-Men 5, and Magik 1.
Shadow and Flame with Magik
