So we got some more Exceptional X-Men info... and I have some thoughts!
First off, the press release didn't provide pronouns for the new characters which is unfortunate as I really would like to know how to refer to them! Still, their designs continue to look cool - and I hope Melee keeps their unique body type across different artists.
The solicit did have one tidbit that stands out to me though...
EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN begins with Kitty trying to get as far away from all things X as she possibly can. After the actions she took during FALL OF X, Kitty craves normalcy and takes a job as a regular-degular bartender. She’s definitely NOT getting ready to head up an all-new team of wayward young mutants while avoiding the watchful gaze of Emma Frost. Nothing but work, dating and staving off depression. That’s it. Let’s see how long it lasts…
It looks like Pryde is going back to being a bartender! It was previously announced she'd be a barista, but it seems like they've switched back to full-on Mekanix vibes, which I am quite excited by - and feels pretty appropriate to this story?
For reference, Kitty Pryde became a bartender in a 6-issue mini-series written by Claremont in 2002/2003...
The books was partially Claremont grappling with the changes to the status quo made by Grant Morrison, whose work he did not agree with at the time... but his method of processing these changes was sending Pryde back to Chicago where she tried to be "normal" while processing the trauma caused by the destruction of the mutant nation of Genosha...
So uh. In other words, this is basically Exceptional X-Men's premise 20 years earlier - it's also about Pryde in Chicago grappling with identity and trauma related to a mutant island's destruction.
Comic storylines are always cyclical, for better and for worse, but this is a really interesting one to revisit IMHO! I am very curious how Ewing will tackle the subject matter - and especially the idea of what mutants have the privilege to pass as human and hide their mutant identity...
Mekanix is also, uh, a pretty notable book in the queer history of Kitty Pryde too, as it starts her relationship with Xuân Cao Mạnh... When a building collapses around them, they nearly share a kiss before being attacked by sentinels - causing Kitty to state that people like them can never relax their guards, which feels like an intentional double-reference to their mutanthood and their queerness...
This moment is also relatively unique among Kitty Pryde queer moments as it has consistently been followed up on? New Mutants Vol 2 has Xuân talk about to Dani, without naming Kitty specifically.
Liu's Astonishing X-Men also references it, with Kitty continuing to be close to Karma and her siblings...
And Trungles' Karma in Love mentions it pretty directly - with Karma apparently having some complicated feelings about Pryde that she doesn't want to address... as she straight-up just runs away when she sees her.
ANYWAY. The point being: This book could also be a good one to explore Pryde's potential queer identity, if Marvel Corporate is on-board with them actually, uh, doing that now...

I prefer to think that there was no denial or repression going on, and Kitty and Xuan simply did not realize that they were dating.
When Xuan invited Kate along for a family museum trip, that was a date. Kate had to have known she was going on a date.
When Kitty moved in to Xuan's apartment, and the twins started calling her their "aunt," Xuan had to have realized that Kitty was her girlfriend.
But did Xuan know that Kitty knew? Did Kate know that Karma knew? No. 🤷♀️

#xmen#comics#marvel#i thought davids was funny this is an endorsement not a condemnation btw#not including rachel bc betsy is already on here#didnt include kitty bc kissing that rando remains mostly meaningless. honestly the mekanix mention in the karma in love was more indicative

ill say in advance that I may be confusing you with another blogger as I ask this and I appologise for any confusion if I am, but iirc you were talking something about people getting into comics some time ago. I just wanted to ask where do you read issues of comics? Especially older back issues, like is there an official long archive or is there a western equivalent of manga dex etc?
might have been someone else, but I can help a bit!
both marvel and DC offer subscription services that let you read a large number of their backlog, and will add more recent comics after a period of several months. Maybe a bit longer, I don't remember the exact timeline. The price wasn't too bad last I checked especially if you just wanted to pay for a month or two to read all the stuff you wanted to read, but its undoubtedly gone up.
There's a website called 'readcomiconline' that frequently has to change domains for obvious reasons.
I do suggest, where you can, paying for new comics because most pencilers, inkers, colorists and even writers are paid peanuts and need all the support they can get, but so many older ones are hard to find. I find absolutely nothing morally wrong with finding an alternate means to read 10+ year old comics, and especially even older ones that you simply can't find in print without paying stupid levels of money. The creative teams sure as shit won't see any of that, so i'ts more of a 'how badly do you want a physical copy of an issue' thing, which I have given into though not in a good 10 years or so since I last bought a comic on ebay or perused the back issue section of a comic shop. (this is often a great place to find some gems and not all that expensive either)
There may still exist torrents with massive back catalogs as well.
Now I want to visit a comic shop again. Or at least go through our longboxes. Haven't really collected comics since 2015 I think.
#there are old comics I managed to get off ebay for pretty cheap#because I wanted them badly enough#mekanix and some other kitty pryde centric stuff in particular#but sometimes you really have to try alternate means#and hoist the colors

Did a little Mekanix #2 panel edit...
This book isn't really one that is using mutanthood as a trans allegory, but I thought it was funny...
