Betsy loves to focus totality.

Damn did he just kill Jubilee? Hopefully someone tk shielded her. Like is you alright sis? She needs some milk!

Rahsaan said...

Unknown, Jubilee is a fool. LOL. She continues to make “light shows” when she could do way more damage. Nate was right about her being an insect. However, that is deliberate on her part since she has yet to mature beyond being afraid to unleash.

I'm going to assume Nate threw her, but cushioned her fall.

Otherwise going through two walls, and then a fall from that height would have not only killed her; she'd have been a blood stain on the ground.

I think it's reasonable to assume Nate protected her. If he wanted any of them dead they would be.

The new Jubilee remains a regressive idiot. Just like what they did to Sam when he joined the X-Men, and his character has never recovered.

I am reading his 90's solo comics... At the time while facing Strife, Madelyne... Such a timeless time... All the stories are so boring to me now. I think I am getting old, "nothing is more like the good old times"

FSaker said...

Yeah, I don't think Nate killed Jubes. This still probably hurts.

Not related to this issue, but you know, there's something I realized just now: the group that appears with Cyclops and Wolverine in one of the future UXM covers... none of them appears in the AoXM covers shown so far (unlike people like Meggan, Dazzler and Colossus, who appear in AoXM despite not being in the X-Men right now).

I wonder if, rather than being really disassembled, Jean's X-Men will be pulled into this alternate reality and "rewritten into it" (kinda like Legion did in Mike Carey's Age of X event), and Scott and Logan then assemble another team to fill the void in the main universe while they're out. This could explain why UXM will still be published simultaneously with the event, rather than being pulled into the AoXM crossover.

@Benjamin, agreed. The last time I really dug Jubilee was during Generation X. The fact that she is stillonly doing lightshows and once again acting like a child bugs me. I did like her on Wood's run too. I think we saw the most character growth during the first Gen X though. It'd be great if they incorporate her progress there with her progress from being a mother and made the character something beyond what she is currently.

Jeferson, if you enjoyed those 90s stories, I think you'd really love the stories from 1980 to 1989 if you have a chance to revisit. I agree. I keep waiting for something to unbore me. The problem is that the stories are not character-focused.For the most part, I feel like we could sub any 12 other X-Men and the story would be unaffected. That is weak writing with no concern for the fans.

@Rahsaan, Generation X Jubs was always my favorite. The overall cast was good.

Finn said...

Lol I can't...

Rahsaan said...

@Antone, Gen X Vol 1 is the best iteration of Jubilation Lee.

@Finn, neither can I. I am really underwhelmed by this trio of writers and the artists to date save for the David Finch cover. Not even Elizabeth saying "focused totality" this issue made me smile. LOL.

What is really good with Marvel?
