It's Totally Normal To Just Break Down Sobbing At Completely Random Times Throughout The Day, After Watching
It's totally normal to just break down sobbing at completely random times throughout the day, after watching I Saw the TV Glow, right?

Finally read Exceptional X-Men #1, and followed it right up with #2, and I rather enjoyed it. Aimless Kitty avoiding things is very relatable to me right now, but I digress.
I have two main random thoughts.
Weird recurring trope of people messaging Kitty apologising about being a stalker.
Kitty is talking to herself A LOT.
Which isn't in and of itself a problem, but when it's being used as narration and exposition, it comes off as REALLY awkward. Writers do it from time to time to deliver information, and while it can be a bit weird, when it's done sparingly, it's fine.
There's this one page in issue two, where she's walking along, and talking out loud to NO ONE about her date she has to keep rescheduling. Which I could run with as someone muttering about something, but when she says out loud "Her name is Nina".
Um....I hope you would know that? Who are you telling this to besides the reader?? It is SUCH a clunky way to deliver exposition, and it's not made any better if it's revealed later on she's talking to a telepath.

I've almost always heard Illyana in my head with an American accent, or at least much less of a Russian accent than her brother.
This? This reads as very Russian to me.

She tells no lies. She is very popular.
