Marvel Previews The New X-Men Series

As a long-time fan of the X-Men, I can hardly contain my excitement for “Exceptional X-Men”! Having followed Kate Pryde and Emma Frost’s journey since their early days, it’s heartening to see them leading a new team of young mutants in this Krakoa Era. The drama between these two characters is always a delight, with their banter reminding me of an older/younger sister dynamic, but with the added depth that comes from their darker sides.


Hey there fellow gamers! Guess what? Marvel just dropped a sneak peek at their latest X-Men series titled “Exceptional X-Men”! This exciting new venture is brought to us by the dynamic duo, Eve L. Ewing (who’s been working on Ironheart and Black Panther) and Carmen Carnero (known for her work on Captain America and Amazing Spider-Man).

As a diehard fan, I must admit that the unforeseen duo of Kate (or “Kitty”) Pryde and Emma Frost, which emerged during the Marauders’ era and Krakoa Era, has undeniably become a beloved pairing among us fans. Their conversations often have a playful older/younger sister dynamic, yet beneath the surface lies a deep-seated drama that truly resonates with these characters who both harbor a profoundly dark past – particularly when it comes to the topic of mutant survival. Emma Frost endured the heartrending loss of her students, The Hellions, in a Sentinel attack, and let’s not forget the harrowing debut of her diamond skin ability that enabled her to survive the Genosha Massacre; meanwhile, Kitty has faced her own brushes with death and corruption. Their contrasting views on educating future mutants have also led to contentious debates. With this intriguing dynamic already in place, Exceptional X-Men is poised to deliver the kind of juicy drama that makes the X-Men so compelling.

In the initial pages of “Exceptional X-Men” #1, we witness a young girl attempting to join her friends at a nightclub. However, the bouncer refuses her entry, triggering an emotional response that unleashes her mutant abilities for the first time, leading to chaos. Despite Kitty’s efforts to stay out of it, a man pulls out a gun when the situation escalates, compelling Kitty to intervene and protect the girl from danger.

As a diehard fan, let me tell you, the sneak peek at Exceptional X-Men is simply a tantalizing morsel of what’s in store for us – and it’s clear that this book will keep me engrossed from start to finish, far from the tedium of a dull read.

Exceptional X-Men Synopsis & Creative Team

Kate Pryde is no longer at the helm of the X-Men; instead, she’s leading a new group of young mutants who find themselves in difficult circumstances. Having distanced herself from Krakoa after its fall, Kate now works as an ordinary bartender and focuses on her everyday life, which includes work, relationships, and managing depression. Contrary to popular belief, there are no extraordinary X-Men to be found in this storyline; it’s all about the struggles and triumphs of these young mutants, under Kate’s guidance, while they avoid Emma Frost’s watchful eye.
