Vampires + X-men = $ales!

Or lolz. I'm good with either.

[dorksidefiker]

Who wants to bet that we'll be hearing Sparkly Vampire references before the first issue's done?

[greenmask]

I'm finding it incredibly hard to decide if I really, really want to read this, or if I don't care a bit.

I just don't trust you, Marvel. It's sad but it's true!

History of Jubilee in 10 Steps

[protogarrett]

1. Create Jubilee.
2. Never let her use her powers effectively. Let her do paltry light shows that almost never show usefulness in a fight excpet for minor distraction. She survives through the power of snark.
3. Put her in a cartoon.
4. Popular!!!
5. Do nothing with her for the next 15 years.
6. Depower her.
7. Give her super strength with a special suit, pair her with other unused X-Men and minro characters no one knows about.
8. Give her the shaft, but let her show up every so often due to 90's nostalgia.
9. Vampire!

...10. Repowered + vampire?

[dorksidefiker]

It's got Pixie, Jubilee, and Nate (with a freakishly large neck). I'll be picking up the first issue for those alone. If the story itself doesn't impress me, then I won't pick up the others.

[greenmask]

I'd do the same, except that I get my comics by post every few months from my old LCS, which makes it tricky.

Post scans when you do? *pleading eyes*

[dorksidefiker]

If there's anything worth posting and someone doesn't beat me to it.

[joasakura]

I don't care, sparkly vampire jokes or not, if it's got Nate in it, I'm SO THERE.

[terrykun]

You forgot the part where she got equipped with the Wondrabra.

[suzene]

Well, it's got Vampire Jubilee. It's so easy that I think I'd be ashamed of the writers if they didn't go there.

[nothingbutcake]

I think you linked to the wrong preview?

[nothingbutcake]

I'm guessing the guy was essentially a biological weapon, infecting people with vampiric blood.

[sherkahn]

Fixed.

[auggie18]

Right on the money there, Buster Brown!

[lencannon]

I don't care if she's a vampire, I love Jubilee. I kind of love this insane direction X-Men is going. Its either going to be a huge success or ruin the series for the next five years, but I appreciate them doing something unexpected.

Re: History of Jubilee in 10 Steps

[protogarrett]

See step 7.

[joasakura]

will this be his first appearance since Dark x-men? (i just finally got around to reading ish 5 of that and was very depressed by it :T)

[toby_wan_kenobi]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Nate Grey an epic-level TP/TK?

Because if he is, the power levels in that lineup are all over the place. Stabbity tough guy, MUTANT BRAIN JESUS, swimsuit mind ninja, WEATHER GODDESS, snarky diamond mind witch, laser-eye general, shiny tank, Cajun douchebag, MEGA-POWER ABSORBER.

Also, Gambit- for God's sake, somebody get the man a new costume. Does it not make sense for the smooth-talking shady-origins grifter to be wearing, oh, I don't know... street clothes?

[neuhallidae]

Confusion with minor art things time! Has Emma's cape always been attached to her boobs like that in this costume? I seem to remember there being some kind of "secondary" overlap a la this previously.

[icon_uk]

Wouldn't Emma be more in keeping since her diamond form really DOES sparkle?

[icon_uk]

It engenders complete... nothing for me. Not remotely interested in this.

[joasakura]

I'm sorry, "MUTANT BRAIN JESUS" and "cajun douchebag" just sent me into uncontrollable giggles.

well played

[selke]

If they include the whole vampire Storm thing, I will buy the hell out of this.

[joasakura]

I'm on board for X-Man. I can't help it, I'm a Nate fan. ^.^;;;

[joasakura]

pfft. "Take that, Edward cullen!"
