Mutant X and its characters and images are the property of Marvel Entertainment, Tribune, and probably a whole bunch of other people that unfortunately aren't me. No violation of copyright is intended by any of the stories, ideas, or images presented within. This is a labor of love by fans of the show, for fans of the show. No profit (more like a significant loss) was made by this zine. Read, enjoy, send letters to the writers, and tell a friend if you like it! (C'mon, I can't pimp this fandom by myself forever!)
Issue 1
Mutant Sex 1 contains 212 pages. The date on the zine is May 2004, but it is likely it was published in October 2002 [1].
"Interior art done by professional comic artists at a Comic Con, who expressed no interest in being credited."
From a flyer:
Well, it’s finally here! Yes, folks, the very first Mutant X slash zine is now out and ready to be shipped into your hot little hands!
Mutant seX #1 is back from the printers, over 200 pages of smut and adventure only found in zine form. These stories are NOT available on the web, and won’t be, so this is the only place you can read all the action, affection, adventure, and Brennan and Jesse making the sign of the 2-humped aardvark!
Mutant seX #1 has a GORGEOUS full color cover artwork of Brennan and Jesse, and three interior B&W illustrations that you won’t see anywhere else! All interior illos were done by professional comic artists at the recent Wonder Con, and are SO much better than the MX comic book art, believe you me!
2 novella sized stories by JenCat, both are first time stories for Brennan and Jesse, climbing that rocky road to true love and mind-bending sex.[2]
From the foreword:
This zine is dedicated to Minotaur, who did the impossible task of getting me into another fandom! (The Sentinel only, for four years! Now this...) Hopefully, all the smut contained therein will be a just reward for his pimping efforts. Thanks also to Minotaur for his encouragement and betaing, and for helping me rain in the wild run-on sentences. I wrote the cowboy scene just for you! ;-)
And my apologies for leaving in the occasional tear. Promise, the Mutant X/The Sentinel crossover I’m working on will have absolutely NO crying! (Well, the FTS 5 MX/TS.
Also, thanks to Saone and Charles, for writing the “Watch where you put that Mistletoe” fic which also helped immensely in pushing me over the edge into the world of these ever-so-lovely Mutants.
Thanks also to Brenda Antrim, whose fic was also a factor in getting me here, as well as a source of inspiration.
- Absolutely by JenCat ("Brennan is captured by a group of scientists intent on using his powers for evil purposes: to drain him of his power until he is dead. Brennan is rescued in the nick of time by his teammates, who must do their best to help Brennan recover from the horrors inflicted on his mind and body. Especially helpful is Jesse, who has been carrying a torch for his friend longer than he cares to admit. An unusual connection forms between the two men as they work to rebuild what was lost, and build something more.") (1)
- Boy Scout by JenCat ("AU. Jesse is out at a club one night, where he sees a gorgeous man across the bar, who passes out in front of him as a result of a date rape drug. Turns out Brennan was to be the next victim of two serial rapists/murderers, until Jesse intervenes. As one of their previous victims was a famous person, Brennan and Jesse are thrust into the media spotlight, and they are pursued unrelentingly by the press. Despite all this, the two manage to form a connection, and are able to start a relationship and have lots of hot, monkey sex while avoiding the press.") (118)

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 1
Do you know that a Mutant X zine was brought out last year?
For those who don't know a zine is fanfic bound into book form, usually with cover and inside art. Of course you have to pay for these, but what could be better than curling up with a good long Mutant X slash story? You could read in bed, on the train (if you're brave *g*) even in the bath.
I admit, I'm a zine fan. So of course I have a copy of the Mutant X zine, Mutant seX. I love it. JenCat has two excellent stories that had me on the edge of my seat, laughing out loud, drooling with lust and at times so mad that I could have screamed at the characters in frustration.
This is just my personal opinion, but the zine is one that I'll treasure for a long time. If you're a B/J fan, think about ordering, you're sure to love it.

The first story is “Absolutely.” Brennan is captured by a group of scientists intent on using his powers for evil purposes: to drain him of his power until he is dead. Brennan is rescued in the nick of time by his teammates, who must do their best to help Brennan recover from the horrors inflicted on his mind and body.
Especially helpful is Jesse, who has been carrying a torch for his friend longer than he cares to admit. A few nifty twists, and an unusual connection forms between the two men as they work to rebuild what was lost, and build something more. Lots of h/c, lots of bad guys, and a whole HEAP o’ sex makes this one fun read!
The second story is “Boy Scout.” A bit of an AU. Jesse is out at a club one night, where he sees a gorgeous man across the bar, who passes out in front of him as a result of a date rape drug. Turns out Brennan was to be the next victim of two serial rapists/murderers, until Jesse intervenes. As one of their previous victims was a famous person, Brennan and Jesse are thrust into the media spotlight, and they are pursued unrelentingly by the press. Despite all this, the two manage to form a connection, and are able to start a relationship and have lots of hot, monkey sex while avoiding the press. Twists, turns, social commentary, a bit o’ angst and lots of smut are awaiting you in this imaginative story, which has earned rave reviews! Don’t miss out! [3]

From the editorial:
We take anew step with this zine, as for the first time we have actual (drum roll please) actual f/f! Not just implied as before, but with the focus on Shalimar/Emma in one novella length story, and the girls get to play in two other stories. Don't worry, there's plenty of the boys in here too, have no fear.
Also from the editorial:
I just wanted to take a moment to address some comments some people have made in regards to some of my previous stories, and the underlying (sometimes quite prominent) theme that runs through a lot of them. That is, either Brennan or Jesse, or both, going through sometimes extreme physical and/or mental ordeals.
Despite how it may seem at times, (and I understand how it may) I don't take great deals of pleasure in making my boys suffer. But as in many forms of self-expression, the creator uses the medium they have chosen to vent whatever may be trapped in their souls, to help purge it, if you will.
Without going into some self-indulgent, Mary Sue rant, let me just say there has been a good deal of suffering, pain and disappointment in my life. I have had several rather severe injuries over the course of my life... [personal info redacted]
To make a long story short, I write some of these stories to deal with the pain,to try and tell myself that no matter how bad it gets, no matter how lonely I can feel, it's going to get better, so you need to hang in there in order to get the happy ending. It's all we have to hope for sometimes, right?
So, I guess that's why I do what I do. No matter how bad Brennan and Jesse go through the wringer, they're going to end up happy and cozy, safely wrapped in the arms of someone that loves them, and I like to think that will happen for me as well. If not, well, I get to live vicariously through my boys and their happy endings, and maybe entertain a few other people along the way.
In any case, I hope you enjoy the stories and pictures here within these plastic walls and coils. I know I've had some fun writing them!
Mutantly yours, JenCat
