Meanwhile on adjectiveless, Jubilee is busy being awesome

[salinea]

Okay, Gischler. You are forgiven for how the dullness of Curse of the Vampire and especially how it handled Jubilee.

Man, as much as I miss the old Jubes, at least now she can put Logan's training to good use.

[righthondude]

Oooh I really like the art on this, too. Very dynamic

[salinea]

It's certainly a good action sequence.

Which we don't get so much in comics.

Ironically.

[brooms]

why does this sideline team-up book keep getting cute art while uxm gets greg land every other arc or so?

FF arc remains my fave, but this was fun! very welcomed this week :[

[mrstatham]

Land's consistent. I think that's about all he has going for him. I do wish they'd send him off the flagship book, though. Every X-Book has art better than Uncanny's.

[salinea]

FF arcs had a couple of good moments yeah :) but the title seems to have its pacing a bit later than that.

[meganbmoore]

I'm terribly behind. Who/What are The Forgiven?

[stolisomancer]

A group of, for want of a better term, vampire super heroes. They're a relatively recent creation. I think they first showed up in the Hulk vs. Dracula miniseries.

[salinea]

group of "good" vampires who have showed up to try to help Jubilee wean herself from blood without the help of Logan's blood.

[lilacsigil]

Oh Jubes, ILU! She was never afraid of getting hurt and this takes it to a whole new level.

[salinea]

It's a pretty badass

[shadowpsykie]

hmmm they are really trying to make me straight aren't they.... first Vamp Jubes takes out a Sentinel solo, with a Bowie knife... now this? hmmm nope still gay... but she's still badass :D

[salinea]

I'm relieved, I'd hate to have to appologise to the gay community because my posting pics of Jubilee being badass had made you straight.

[crinos]

So its Jubilee vs. One of the Porcelain mask wearing suited guys from Cabin in the woods.

TOPICAL!

[bariman]

I though the guy looked like one of Ninjette's old New Jersey ninja clan members. Which would be an awesome crossover.

[md84]

Vampire heroes have always been interesting to me, since their very nature encourages them to be evil instead. The whole "unending thirst for blood" thing means that the people they defend always look like giant walking Happy Meals to them. It would be like a human defending a flock of chickens with his life while suffering from a severe craving for chicken pot pie.

[q99]

Yea. It's something that's been done a lot- Vampirella, D, Vamp, Alucard, Angel, the other Alucard, Blade, probably yet another Alucard, Jubilee... yet it's still good stuff that I'm not bored with.

[shadur]

I kind of like this. That's been rare to find in a Marvel title lately...

[salinea]

Adjectiveless really had been good for action and fun, self contained stories without worrying too much about the broader metaplot - not a great title, but solid enough. I'm surprised it seems to be mostly disliked for it when it's exactly the sort of things fans are clamouring for at times.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

So this is what Masky has been up to while MarbleHornets is busy with the ~*SO MUCH AMNESIA*~ plots. Next week, Marvel's Slenderman :P

[mrstatham]

If Marvel had Slenderman, it would either fucking suck so bad, or every single Marvel hero would be absolutely screwed way worse than any kind of Fear Itself nonsense.

[avantre]

What a shame this is the last we'll be seeing of her for the foreseeable future....

(Yes, this was the last episode she's in solicits for. Someone asked what they're doing with her in a recent Marvel panel, and they said something along the lines of 'we need to take her off the table for a while so we can find a way to reintroduce her in a bigger way. Watch this space."

Whether that means limbo, or whether that means they have some sort of plan for her, I don't know.

[mrstatham]

It's kind of odd that Brian Wood is coming on board and doesn't want to use her, given the kinds of characters he usually writes. But given the rather large status quo change and the fact that she headlined her own mini with Wolverine - not something a lot of characters can lay claim to these days - maybe it's wise to take her off the board for a bit. The vampire-thing could just get dull, otherwise.

[icon_uk]

I'm afraid that, whilst a cool move, such things always impress me less when the person doing it has a super-duper healing factor/functional immortality. Yes, it hurts, but they know it's not going to do them any actual harm and there won't even be a scar inside ten minutes.

Looking at it dispassionately, it's equivalent, relatively speaking, to me taking down a bad guy by stubbing my toe.

[salinea]

pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.

[baihu]

I'm...still...so not USED to seeing Jubes like this D:

I mean, if it's a new hero, yeah nothing to really turn my head, but the fact it's JUBES!

Actually it kinda feels like a bizarre AU Buffy story at some points.

[q99]

I like that she still wears The Coat :)

[eyz]

Jub' being awesome? That's what I've been asking for since the first day they imposed Vampire!Jubilee on us :P

[salinea]

I like it when they listen.
