Marvel Comics will release X-Men Wedding Special #1, a companion to the X-Men Gold story “’Till Death Do Us Part,” on May 16.

The current story in X-Men Gold (issues #26 – 30) is leading Kitty Pryde and Colossus towards wedded bliss, as teased earlier this year (see “Wolverine Returns, A Wedding, Infinity”), but like all X-Men pairings, things never go as planned.

X-Men Wedding Special #1 will include stories written by Kelly Thompson, Marc Guggenheim, and Christ Claremont – who will script a new Kitty Pryde story. Art is provided by Greg Land, Marika Cresta, and more. The cover is illustrated by J. Scott Campbell.
