Then read Whedon's Astonishing (or the spoiler below) (please log in to view the image)
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Aliens wanted to destroy the Earth so they fired a big ass bullet. Kitty phased together with it saving everyone. None of the super geniuses was able to bring her back.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Yeah, a big bullet. Really durable one. Plus it was enchanted. Imagine Death Star firing bullets instead of that superlaser, that's how it happened lol. It wouldn't explode, it would just tear through the planet.
And instead it [SPOILER - highlight to read]: passed through and now its somewhere really far off into space and now mags has found it and is bringing it back to earth so she can be taken out of it or...whatever
Steve you need to read Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-men (something like the first 25 issues.) It's brilliant.
It could be due to the nature of Kitty's phase abilities. She doesn't need air when she phases, and she obviously cannot eat or drink, it would pass straight through her.
Waaaaaaay back during the Morlock Massacre, she was attacked by the Mutant Harpoon which left her in a state of what appeared to be permanently phased, until she was later healed. She was like a ghost at the time and obviously couldn't do anything we'd associate with survival (eg. eating, drinking etc etc).
Yeah, exactly. Really impressive feat for "weakened" Magneto. I guess Fraction will ignore the fact that she fused with it and just take her out of it, yeah...
Ahh well I see. Never new that thou and I thought she couldn't maintain a phase forever. I seem to remember a comic where sabretooth jus kept slashing at her till she wore down n had to unphase.
Oh well seems pretty stupid that she can still live without any type of substance to keep her going but it is a comic and they do stupid unexplainable shit all the time.

there were only ever 25 issues of whedon's astonishing, technically. it was in the giant-sized astonishing x-men [and at the end of astonishing x-men 24] that the afore-mentioned events occurred, though it was the penultimate event of the series to that point. everything had been, essentially, building to that point. very, very good issue, giant-sized was.
i just feel like, and maybe it's me, but it hasn't been long enough for me to care that much? i mean, when i read that issue of legacy, i was internally clapping and whatnot. but it just doesnt seem as big or cool as it should be, i guess. maybe if legacy had a release schedule like astonishing did, and it took four years for us to get this issue, i'd like it more. right now, i just kind of feel like it's tainting my opinion of giant-sized astonishing. no fault of fraction's, of course, but it's not as cool that kitty did what she did if she's getting brought back so quick.
Well the longer the wait, the less likely it would be for Magneto to be able to bring her back.
I foresee Magneto's motives and Kitty's return being pretty big in the X-Men's future as a whole. The Emma/Kitty dynamic is bound to lose it's luster though because of their reconciliation and understanding during Kitty's departure.
This bullet has been traveling through space for like two years, at many times the speed of light... and Magneto is going to locate its position, exert control on it, stop it, turn it around, and get it back to earth... in less than a month.
