Man, I could not disagree more about Kitty Pryde being unlikable this issue. Sure, she whines about her problems a bit--and then her friends call her out immediately and she listens to 'em. Twice.

A spoiled, entitled brat would just keep whining about how it's not faiiiir and I'm not a kid I'm not I'm not... heck, even a lot of non-spoiled teenagers do some of that, that's just part of growing up. Kitty, by contrast, quickly gets over it and works multiple angles to improve her situation, showing a good deal of patience in doing so...I mean, those last four frames of her have to take place over a period of days at least, right?

I feel like I've seen many srories like this, and most of them involved a lot more complaining and a lot less proactive action. Now, there are aspects of Kitty's narrative history I'd question--that somewhat statuory-rapey period where she was first Peter's girlfriend, the notion that's she's a genius on top of being a highly competent superhero. But this issue ain't one of 'em.
