    This was my initial concern!

    Do they own any premium channels?

    Sex Criminals is not a series that will work on non-premium channels

    Universal TV is also producing Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which is going straight to Netflix

    So that's a possibility

    The Kitty in question is actually Age of Apocalypse Kitty, not 616 Kitty.

    Secret Wars is bringing in different eras in time so the AoA reality is probably ripped from the beginning of the event where all of the fan favorites were still alive and kicking

    You can watch the last five episodes on Hulu right now.

    Guess I'm out of luck for the first three (four?).

    Basically, unless you wanna buy them for $1.99 each off iTunes/Amazon/Google Play

    that's your options

    I am kinda super iffy on that Star-Lord Kitty Pryde book

    The interview has Humphries talk about how it is a big romance book and it is all about their relationship

    But that isn't the same Kitty Pryde. Totally different character. Peter going from being in a relationship with Kitty to being in a relationship with an alternate Universe version of Kitty immediately afterwards is just kind of dumb and uninteresting

    Like, he specifically says how this is a "continuation" of their romance.

    But it isn't! AoA Kitty is a different character! It isn't the same relationship!

    It's... a cover?

    Edit: Did he specifically say it would be with AoA Kitty?

    Yeah I edited but not quick enough!

    So it seriously is going to be Peter Quill and AoA Kitty? That's....weird as hell? Especially when actual Kitty Pryde is probably around somewhere?

    That last bit feels a bit on the nose, all things considered.

    I can say that the Kitty Pryde of the title is actually the Kitty Pryde from Age of Apocalypse. I can say this story takes place on Battleworld. I can say it is an action romantic comedy with some big, huge moments between the characters. Emotionally and spiritually, this is the continuation of the Peter/Kitty relationship from Legendary Star-Lord — with a couple really huge twists you won’t see coming. Whatever is about to happen, Peter and Kitty won’t be able to go back to the way they were after this.

    like

    This seems super dumb to be

    616 Kitty Pryde and AoA Kitty Pryde are two different people, it's not a continuation it is a different relationship

    Maybe the Peter/Kitty relationship isn't between the two people in the title. Peter is in a relationship with one Kitty, but ends up stranded in Battleworld with another Kitty who, based on the cover, doesn't like him very much. *shrug*

    although I just remembered how AoA Jean Grey hooking up with 616 Wolverine in Uncanny X-Force was actually one of my favorite parts of that series

    Humphries calls it an action romance book so it definitely sounds like the two leads are in a relationship

    Mixed feelings on that then.

    On one hand, it should be hilarious.

    On the other hand, pairing 616 Starlord with an alternate universe version of Kitty is kind of....a LOT of a cop out. If I had to wager a guess 616 Kitty is "Off the table" and Humphries couldn't user her.

    But damn just don't label it a "continuation" when it isn't. And saying it's a "Romantic comedy" basically just poops on all the fans of the 616 Kitty and Starlord pairing

    Like if you want to market the book all you need to do is release that cover and say "616 Starlord and AoA Kitty Pryde. Go."

    Like I'm not even a fan of Kitty and Starlord and I'm a little put off by the language they are using.

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Yeah I am not accusing Humphries of anything

    But the idea of being able to just swap out a different version of Kitty Pryde and "continue" the same relationship is pretty gross to me

    Like

    She's never met Peter Quill before, she has had an entirely different life than the Kitty he knows and yet they are gonna be in a relationship similar enough that it is being referred to as an "emotional and spiritual continuation"?

    Naaaaah
