Claremont writing Kitty Pryde is always good. A lot of the story beats are reminiscent of Kitty telling off bigots in Uncanny X-men in the late 80s, but are given more room to breathe here. We also get to see the cost this endless battle has on Kitty's soul.
The art was solid, usually with clear storytelling. The color palette is very restrained, with lots of greys, and muted blues and greens. It served to contrast Kitty's attempt at a normal life with her previous superheroic one, but some of the panels got a bit muddy at times.

This was pretty standard "humans hate the muties" X-men stuff, but without the X-men. A couple other mutants were included and rogue sentinels. So really it's the same thing, just no Wolverine. But it was still fun, poor Kitty can't escape her superhero calling.
Not sure how this blends in with the rest of the X-treme X-men series, but I guess I'll find out when I read Vol 5.

Despite the regrettable name and some questionable art, a pretty wonderful story about Kitty Pryde.

It was nice to see Kitty Pryde written almost as an adult. Way too much attack and defend, and same old story-line of mutants are evil. And the cover art was horribly awful. But in general it shows the possibilities. Even being in Chicago rather than New York State or New York City was a nice change. Being at a college rather than high school. It's too bad it didn't lead to something a lot longer.
As for the title - early in the book Kitty says she is working as her Professor's Mechanic. Of course she's an X-Mechanic so I guess a Mekanix. Which is dumb.
