Mekanix #2 continues Kitty Pryde's gripping journey in this six-issue Marvel Comics miniseries. Written by legendary X-Men scribe Chris Claremont, with stunning artwork by Juan Bobillo and Marcelo Sosa, this issue blends superhero drama with deep social commentary on anti-mutant prejudice.

In this installment, titled "Runaway," Kitty Pryde faces a crisis when a catastrophic lab accident threatens the lives of her fellow students at the University of Chicago. A system virus causes a dangerous malfunction, and Kitty’s quick thinking and phasing abilities help her prevent a disaster. However, instead of gratitude, she encounters hostility, especially from Tom More, a staunch anti-mutant figure who exposes the deep-seated discrimination mutants face.

Beyond the action, this issue delves into Kitty’s personal struggles, including her complicated relationship with her father, the emotional burden of her mutant identity, and the pressures of adapting to life outside the X-Men. Claremont’s writing gives readers an intimate look at Kitty’s resilience, intelligence, and independence, making her one of Marvel’s most compelling heroines.

The artwork by Bobillo and Sosa perfectly complements Claremont’s storytelling, delivering expressive character designs, moody settings, and a grounded yet dynamic feel. The visuals enhance the emotional weight of the narrative while keeping the sci-fi and superhero elements engaging.

Mekanix #2 is a must-read for X-Men fans, Kitty Pryde enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys character-driven storytelling mixed with action, prejudice themes, and real-world parallels. The issue’s mix of social conflict, heroism, and personal growth makes it a standout in Marvel’s mutant-themed comics of the early 2000s.
