Exceptional X-Men
Exceptional X-Men by Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero explores the fates of Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost following the fallout from The Fall of X. Trying to escape her past as an X-Man, Kitty flees to Chicago to start a new adventure. life.
It’s the debut of three brand new mutant characters that sees Kitty thrown back into the X-Men world, with Emma Frost returning to help guide the new mutants. Longtime fans know that Kitty and Emma have always had an icy dynamic, so the pairing should make for some interesting storylines.
