'Exceptional X-Men' #3 Preview: Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost Have a Showdown Over the Next Generation Of Mutants

Get your first look at Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero’s 'Exceptional X-Men' #3, on sale November 20.

Following the fall of Krakoa, Kitty Pryde tried to get as far away from the X-Men as possible, but two issues into Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero’s EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN, she’s met three young mutants in desperate need of the training and guidance that only an X-Man can provide! This November, her reluctance is put to the test when Emma Frost arrives to recruit the new kids for her own use in EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN (2024) #3.

From enemies to uneasy allies to friends, Kitty and Emma have one of the most complex relationships in the X-Men mythos. Now, their animosity resurfaces just when mutantkind needs them most!

In a new preview, see the pair’s heated argument turn to violence, and after cooler heads prevail, the first stages of their new partnership as they teach Axo, Bronze, and Melee to control their gifts at their new mutant dojo. They better learn quick as this fledging team of X-Men soon find themselves in their first real battle together!

One of three flagship ongoing series in the new X-Men line, EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN follows in the footsteps of classic coming of age X-titles like NEW MUTANTS and GENERATION X by focusing on the struggles and adventures of a new generation. For newcomers, it’s a perfect entry point into the world of X; and longtime and returning fans won’t want to miss the early stories of these future X-Men icons.

Be sure to get in on the ground floor on this acclaimed series and stay tuned in the months ahead for surprising developments including the return of a major X-Men villain who takes a sinister interest in Kitty and Emma’s new students!
