It's not Kitty at all. Because the agent of S.W.O.R.D. said the mole was stuck in the Danger Room and away from the actual danger, it can't be Kitty because she was helping with the fight, hence her 'death' with Colossus.

Not only that but the first time we actually saw Emma talking to the mole was when Kitty and Colossus were in the yard together. Emma was watching over them. It can't be Kitty.
 
This was a cool issue.

As for traitors - I'm too busy with the Ultimates to care about any other traitors at the moment. I mean, I'm curious... but I can wait this one out. This title has been very good so far.
 
Astonishing X-Men #12 preview.

Newsarama reports:


From Marvel

The first year(*) of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men is coming to a close with this month's Astonishing X-Men #12. And the super-star duo of Whedon and Cassaday are going to put everyone's favorite mutants through the wringer to round out their titanic first run.

"Astonishing X-Men quickly established itself as the premiere X-book—and issue #12 reminds readers why!" says X-Office Senior Editor Mike Marts. "This final issue of Whedon & Cassaday's first year has big-screen action, twists and turns, and an ending that will leave fans dying for #13, due out early next year!"

Astonishing X-Men has been the most critically acclaimed run on the X-Men in years and Astonishing X-Men #12 is only the beginning. In early 2006, Whedon and Cassaday are returning for another year-long arc that picks up where the "Dangerous" story arc and "House of M" conclude…with the X-Men changed forever.

"There is little that can be said about Joss and John's work on Astonishing X-Men that hasn't already been said, so let me just get to the info that fans really care about...Joss and John will be back for another year's worth! And in the words of the ol' wordsmith himself, 'nuff said!" says Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada.

Whedon and Cassaday have turned their critical acclaim on Astonishing X-Men into a rabid fan-following and phenomenal sales. "Multiple issues of the run have needed second limited edition printings, while the Astonishing X-MenVol. 1 TPB has also had record breaking sales," said David Gabriel Director of Sales. Retailers should order accordingly on issue #12."

You can't afford to miss the conclusion to a historic run that will soon be mentioned in the same breath as other X-Men classics.

(*) Newsarama Note: a metric year - Astonishing #1 shipped in May of 2004. #12 is due in stores on August 31st.

The art is be-utiful! Also, I think there's an extra page up at UXN.net, although I could be going mad.
 
I love the art here. But the dangerous story hasn't excited me any. I guess it's just because it feels rather like a traditional comic. And that in itself is no crime, I would just have hoped it had drawn me in for longer.

Thanks for putting into words what I was thinking. Gifted was great, but Dangerous just isn't as good. That doesn't mean it's bad, but following a great story like Gifted it's a letdown. Maybe the final part will bring everything together and make it all worth while (like Ultimate Nightmare #5 did for me).

I haven't read the second arc yet, so I don't know why Emma's wearing the different uniform...

Well, I can't see her boobs, so she can't be Emma.
