Legendary writer Chris Claremont returns to the X-Men for an all-new story in X-Men Wedding Special #1.
The side story will feature Kitty Pryde, who is marrying her fellow X-Man Colossus in what is being billed as “the wedding of the century.” Writers Kelly Thompson and Marc Guggenheim will also provide stories for the momentous occasion.

“X-Men weddings are always a big deal, if only because they’re so rare,” Kelly Thompson said in a statement. “I think you probably have to go all the way back to X-Men #30 in 1994 – the wedding of Jean Grey and Cyclops – to get a wedding as potentially big as the wedding of Kitty Pryde and Colossus: two X-Men who’ve been around (and on again/off again) for literal decades.”
Artist J. Scott Campbell’s cover of the wedding special can be found below.
X-Men Wedding Special #1 will continue the saga that began in X-Men Gold Issues #26-30, appropriately titled “‘Til Death Do Us Part.” Of course, a wedding in superhero comics is not complete without the threat of villainous wedding crashers, so readers will have to pick up the issue to see if the nuptials are completed minus any drama.
