Brian Wood: Jubilee, while still a vampire, is going to be handling those supernatural traits as if they were superpowers and not just hindrances.

rubes eyeballs. why are all the charactes female? who wants to place bets we are gonna get mostly fanservice? shrugs, gave up on comics long ago. what with marvel having their heroes butcher themselves every half year and dc using their events as meat grinders for unwanted heroes, what is the point of it? at least these character are treated with far more respect and thought in formats that are anything but comics, ironically.

not to mention no one has yet to explain how a mutant like jubilee could turn into a vampire. spiderman himself, a artificially created mutant, cannot be infected by vampirism because he is already an abberration of a normal human. then again last i heard marvel had no idea whethero r not its own vampires were the classical, and normally more well designed, supernatural type or the underworld variety.

She hasn't had the mohawk for a while. This is its return.

Looks good. Nice to see the ladies getting their time to shine. This is actually a pretty smart ploy to win over female readers given how routinely the New 52 gets slammed for sexism.

Judging by that cover probably not. Only ONE of them is even showing cleavage. And for someone who has "given up" on comics you sure complain about them a lot. :P

Cause it looks hot on her? XD That is what Storm looked like when I first picked up an X-men comic back in the 80s so I have a particular love of her biker chick look.

Hear hear the that! You know I just noticed this is the same team (+ Jubilee) that was in that X-Girls Graphic Novel by Chris Claremont.
