X-Men Gold #17 SPOILERS
The team heads to the negative zone to save Kitty & Kurt. Rachel is still knocked out and Reyes doesn't think she can help her.
Kitty is being held and kept from phasing by technology adapted from the XcutionerII. Kologoth tells her he listed and learned while he was being held.
Kurt is in a prison not knowing where he is and talks about how dangerous it is to teleport without knowing where he is (DUN DUN DUN)
The Xmen crash land in the middle of a civil war...one of their generals speaks english and they agree to stop fighting until this battle is finished.
He is asked to leave while the xmen telepathically speak thanks to Ink (who has limited abilities). Storm argues that they can't choose sides not knowing the truth.
Kologoth actually says he'd release Kitty & Kurt and that he has no need for the Xmen to be in his world. Which is surprisingly logical. They just came for Kitty & Kurt and he's willing to give them back. They weren't really prisoners to being with..just happened to be on the ship when it left.
Kurt gets tired of waiting and teleports....right into a statue impaling himself.
-
The cliffhanger would have more effect if we didn't already know he survives.
-
Guggs mentioning in the letters page that he's got the outline for the next 17 issues handed in straight-up devastated me.
-
Kinda wish Guggenheim chose his character Cipher to get her day in the sun rather then Ink.
-
Most of the team gets a new costume and Kitty is stuck in this

Ah crap not again.

I hope Rachel didn't get a power up (or so she claims) only to be decommissioned long-term again.

I 100% believe Guggenheim is doing it out of spite because nobody likes his ****. Note how Kitty was the only character last issue who was in costume, even though she came straight out of a hotel room.

We know she's back at least by February.

The issue itself was good and it looks the X-men like or not going to end up getting into this war. It's funny how the villain planned to release the heroes who are prisoners just when Kurt decides to run away. Can Kurt die? He is still without soul correct ?
Good to see some new and beloved faces of the fans on the team even if temporarily.
For me the team could keep those uniforms.

Reminder as to why no one likes Ink and everyone would either celebrate or not care if he were unceremoniously killed off by Kologoth:

I don't think him not having his soul means he can't die - since it's all sorta physical.

Kitty never had a great costume. Never. She had better ones than this, but she was doomed - from a costume standpoint - since the day she wore that :

IDA. Her X-treme look was fairly solid
