Exceptional X-Men By Eve L. Ewing Vol. 1
Exceptional X-Men By Eve L. Ewing Vol. 1: Duty Calls | Eve Ewing
2 posts | 1 read
Collects Exceptional X-Men #1-5. From the ashes of the Krakoan era, Kate Pryde finds fresh purpose! After the fall of Krakoa, Kate Pryde is trying to get as far away from all things X as she possibly can. She's just a regular bartender now. She's not getting ready to head up an all-new team of wayward young mutants. Nothing in this title but work, dating and staving off depression. That's it. No never-before-seen Exceptional X-Men to see here! Except Kate's continued attempts at living a normal, non-mutant life go laughably wrong as she finds herself in the middle of a brawl started by a couple of headstrong teens with remarkable abilities - which, of course, they're terrible at controlling. She's sworn off being anybody's teacher, mentor, professor, sensei or anything that reminds her of her old life. But will the White Queen force her hand?

There were lots of things I liked about this: Emma Frost‘s endlessly antagonistic pedagogy, Iceman‘s “we used to date, but I turned out to be gay” about Shadowcat to the woman Kitty‘s dating. I like the new mutants. Trista Marshall is wonderful. Theo Tran could be made awful with the wrong writing, but I love a character interested in making the world better.

“I want to be …tender. Soft. Easy on the world. And I want the world to be easy on me.” “That‘s not something we can control, Trista.”
