Kitty Pryde and Colossus are getting hitched this summer, but before she hears wedding bells, the leader of X-Men Gold will have to survive her prison experience.

Of course, that may be easier said than done considering Kitty's cellmate is someone who's tried to kill her -- several times. The creative team of Marc Guggenheim and Thony Silas have dropped the longtime X-Man into a cell with Callisto, sometimes leader of the mutant underground group known as the Morlocks, and full-time thorn in the X-Men's side.
