2018 is the year for comic book weddings. I have already discussed the upcoming wedding for Batman and Catwoman, but it’s not the only one coming up. Over at Marvel, there will be an X-Men wedding too – with longtime on-again-off-again couple Kitty Pryde and Colossus tying the knot this year too.
So you don’t miss a chapter, I have put together the ‘Til Death Do Us Part: Kitty Pryde & Colossus Wedding Reading Order Guide. In it is the reading order for the wedding story, the creative teams and release dates for this story, plus some background reading on Kitty Pryde and Colossus’ relationship.
