“Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got. There is no yesterday, no tomorrow, it’s all the same day.”- Janis Joplin |
Kiden Nixon is a survivor. She survived the murder of her police officer father, the discovery of her latent mutant powers, even a stint living homeless on the mean streets of New York City. And at 16, she has finally managed to settle into a happy life. But she discovers the home she built herself is a house of cards when she returns to her apartment to find the place trashed, the walls covered with blood and her mentor Cameron Palmer missing. Fearing for their lives, Kiden flees with her roommates: Bobby Soul, an ex-gangster with the ability to inhabit people's minds; Tatiana, a runaway with unusual transformative abilities; and the autistic Lil' Bro. Kiden is desperate to rescue Cameron — but when it becomes clear she's being framed for the disappearance, she finds herself in the crosshairs of the police and S.H.I.E.L.D. Now, Kiden is back to where she started: on the streets and on the run [Source: Comixology]
I used to love reading comics as a kid enjoying many of the Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge and Richie Rich variety, but it wasn't til I was in college that I first became interested in superhero comics. At the time I was an avid baseball card collector, acquiring many 1950s Topps cards with stars such as Mantle and Mays. When I finally read a superhero comic, it was Wolverine...what a great story, I was hooked. I amassed a rather large collection at the time, delving into other titles like Harbinger and X-O Manowar until the comic industry began to saturate the market with too many variants and I eventually lost interest. Flash forward to 2015..... I ended up buying a Wolverine 1988 series issue #1 graded CGC 9.8. I hadn’t really thought about it much up to that point, but the collecting bug was rekindled. I dug out my collection that had been stored away and decided to start submitting my back issues. I looked online to fill gaps in my various collections and thousands of dollars later I’ve acquired quite a few comics and am trying to avoid collecting too many series at a time! My favorites at this point are the Wolverine 1988 series, Alias 2005 and Harbinger’s 1992 series. I have collected a few odds and ends in between and will eventually fill out my Rai 1992, Shadowman 1992, Psylocke Mini Series 2010 and the various X-23 and NYX series and will consider other series once I have the bulk of these filled up. I also like to collect covers I find appealing (see Incredible Hulk 340) and 1st appearances here and there. It’s all a labor of love! |

Synopsis: The battered Kiden Nixon lays shackled to a table. This chapter of her story, however, begins two days earlier in Manhattan. After fishing a broken snow globe out of a dumpster as a gift for her roommate Bobby Soul, Kiden and Tatiana return to their apartment and interrupt Bobby trying to feed his catatonic kid brother, Lil’ Bro. Their old teacher Ms. Palmer stops by and implores them all to return to school, but they resist, instead opting to study from home. Later that day, Kiden goes to work at the café, where she receives the apparently undeliverable letter she sent to her estranged mother. Unbeknownst to her, someone films her from the nearby shadows. That night, as the four kids head to Ms. Palmer’s for dinner, Kiden receives a premonition from her deceased father, imploring her to run. She freezes up just as Bobby and Tatiana open Ms. Palmer’s door, revealing a trashed, bloody apartment and a photograph stuck to the wall by a knife through Kiden’s face.

Synopsis: Although Ms. Palmer’s apartment is splattered with blood, Kiden sincerely believes their former teacher is still alive. The kids leave, realizing the photo pinned to the wall means the kidnappers predicted their arrival, and upon returning home, discover the police outside their apartment. Someone is clearly framing them. Kiden sneaks inside, gathers some possessions, retrieves some planted evidence, and returns to her friends to discuss their next step. Bobby refuses to help Kiden find Ms. Palmer, but after a heart-to-heart over dinner, she and Tatiana convince him otherwise. He then reveals a clue he found in Ms. Palmer’s apartment: a ski cap belonging to an old associate of his. He takes them to the kidnapper’s seemingly vacant apartment. Tatiana, carrying Lil’ Bro, searches a bedroom, where they are ambushed by a hidden thug. After Lil’ Bro disarms the thug with his mutant power, Tatiana bites down on his hand and wriggles free. Unfortunately, his blood triggers her mutant ability, and after she physically transforms into her attacker, he shoots her at point-blank range.

Synopsis: Kiden and Bobby subdue Frankie, Tatiana’s shooter, but immediately following his interrogation, D’Sean returns home with his gang and opens fire on the intruders in his apartment. Fortunately, Kiden grabs on to each of her friends, and upon triggering her mutant ability, takes each of them into the paused world with her. They slip by the gang, as well as their bullets, and take the wounded Tatiana to the hospital. While the staff takes her into surgery, the news channel runs a story about Ms. Palmer’s disappearance that indicts Bobby, Kiden, and Tatiana as her kidnappers. Worse, after receiving a blood transfusion, Tatiana once again transforms, this time into a middle-aged white woman. Meanwhile, following some leads, Kiden, Bobby, and Lil’ Bro head to Empire State University where they dial a number Tatiana retrieved from her attacker’s mind. A tattooed man, seemingly expecting their call, approaches them and speaks ominously of their future. He knocks Kiden unconscious. Bobby possesses the man and forces him to commit suicide, but afterward, he has trouble returning to his body. By the time Kiden wakes up and approaches him, Bobby Soul has forgotten who she is.

Synopsis: Kiden, Lil Bro, and the amnesiac Bobby Soul sneak into the hospital to rescue Tatiana from the mutant registration officials, and after some chaos involving Kiden’s powers, manage to escape. However, because Tatiana still needs medical attention, they track down a volunteer doctor who works on the sly, out of her apartment. This doctor, the estranged X-Man Cecilia Reyes, gladly helps the injured Tatiana and lets the other teenagers stay at her place. After finishing Tatiana’s stitches, Cecilia leaves and makes a discrete phone call to an old friend, asking for a favor. Kiden follows her, but is ambushed by a frightening punk girl who is not only immune to Kiden’s powers, but has information on Ms. Palmer’s whereabouts. The punk girl then reports back to her boss, who not only has Ms. Palmer shackled to a chair, but turns out to be the ghost of Kiden Nixon’s murdered father.

Synopsis: Bobby Soul suffers through a disturbing hallucination. Sniper Chick tricks Tatiana into revealing her killer instinct, and leaves her alone after offering a choice. Kiden endures a hallucination in which Ms. Palmer blames everything on her. Kiden wakes up to see the ghost of her father, who explains he orchestrated these events in order to save Kiden’s life. Sniper Chick enters; Mr. Nixon tells her to leave. She steps out into the hallway, where Lil Bro’s psionic dragon bites off her head. The gang frees Kiden and, using the knowledge of the building Tatiana absorbed from Sniper Chick, finds and rescues Ms. Palmer as well. After they drop her at the hospital, the vagrant teens continue their quest for survival. Meanwhile, Mr. Nixon’s ghost converses with a mysterious colleague with whom he made his arrangement. The two men now wait to see how Kiden and her friends will change the world.
