Kitty Pryde As A Bisexual Woman In Exceptional X-Men #1 (Spoilers)
Yesterday, we ran the news that in this week's Exceptional X-Men #1, the sexuality of the X-Men character Kitty Pryde would be clarified.

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool ran the news that we understood that in this week's Exceptional X-Men #1 by Eve L. Ewing and Carmen Carnero, the sexuality of the X-Men character Kitty Pryde would be clarified. More than a brief kiss, a lingering hug or the lick of lips, we would have textual evidence that Kate Pryde – now back to being Kitty Pryde…
…would be a bisexual in the Marvel 616 Universe. And that there will be no more teasing. Kate Pryde will be on a date with a woman.
Or at least she would have been if she hadn't been stood up.
It is but a slight mention of the person's gender. I understand that some people at Marvel Comics totally missed it on repeat readers. But Bleeding Cool sources have eagle eyes. And while some might be anoyed that such a moment is reduced to just the use of one word in a panel, Bleeding Cool understands that issue 2 will be much more than a slight mention. Expect to meet Kitty Pryde's girlfriend for the first time in Exceptional X-Men #2 out in October. And going to FOC this weekend…

KATE PRYDE LEADS A TEAM OF ALL-NEW X-MEN! 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-degular bartender now. Definitely NOT getting ready to head up an ALL-NEW TEAM of wayward young mutants while avoiding the watchful gaze of Emma Frost. Nothing in this title but work, dating and staving off depression. That's it. No never-before-seen EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN to see here! Rated T+ In Shops: Sep 04, 2024 SRP: $4.99

Kate Pryde'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?
