Exceptional X-Men #5
Saying the past is the past doesn’t make it so, and Kitty is carrying the weight of her choices. Violence, vengeance and her life as Shadowkat are not so easily left behind — especially now that the rest of her team of new recruits knows the ugly reality of what she did in the shadow of Krakoa’s fall.
Now that the truth is out, so is Melee, leaving the EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN on the rocks.
