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-beforeseen 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? Collecting EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN #1-5. Rated T+
