Uncanny X-Men 143
Uncanny X-Men 143
Uncanny X-Men 143 is the final issue of the incredible collaboration between Chris Claremont and John Byrne and a thoughtful Christmas gift to readers.
Yet it’s not a holiday issue beyond the well wishes of a Merry Christmas on the cover and the seasonal backdrop. Even the main character, Kitty Pryde, is Jewish.
What Demon is, is an unabashed retelling of Alien with Kitty as Ripley.
That’s not a bad thing.
Claremont even makes reference to “that movie” without mentioning any names as Kitty tries to kill N’gari originally unleashed in Uncanny X-Men 96.
Still, it’s one of my favorites and deserves a spot in any Christmas stocking.
