Exceptional X-Men by Eve L. Ewing Vol. 2

From the ashes of the Krakoan era, a unique team of X-Men rises with members both familair and brand new!

Who is Sheldon Xenos? Axo, the Exceptional X-Men’s resident empath, goes to work for the creator of the wildly popular Verate app. Maybe Xenos and his inventions can bring mutants the support, recognition and connection they deserve. But the charismatic technology mogul seems to be hiding a secret...or two...or four! Meanwhile, with Charles Xavier on the run, Emma Frost and Kitty Pryde reckon with their own dreams and fears for the future of mutantkind. But Axo is sinking into trouble. Big trouble. He’s bitten off more than he can chew in his relationship with Xenos. Can the rest of the Exceptional team even figure out what is happening, let alone bail him out? When the truth is revealed, Emma must go somewhere she really, really doesn’t want to go: deep inside the mind of one of her worst enemies!
