The Women of the X-Men.

Jubilee is back in fold with a baby! Jubilation’s return with this orphan launches a new mystery and inspires Storm to assemble a squad made up of Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Psylocke and Rachel Grey.

“I feel like as far as the X-Men go, the women are the X-Men,” Wood told USA Today.

“Cyclops and Wolverine are big names, but taken as a whole, the women kind of rule the franchise. If you look at the entire world as a whole, it’s the females that really dominate and are the most interesting and cool to look at. When you have a great artist drawing them, they look so amazing and always have.”

Jubilee is back but so is Continue reading Women of X-MEN #1

The women starring in the brand new X-Men series are getting serious attention from some high caliber, fan favorite artists! Olivier Coipel draws X-Men #1. Today Marvel revealed David Lopez will reunite with writer Brian Wood on X-Men #4 with Terry Dodson joining the rotation.

The book stars Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Grey, Psylocke and Jubilee. Storm assembles this team when Jubilee comes back to the school with an orphan with mysterious potential. One of the mutants’ old enemies arrives asking for help from a bigger threat.

Wood and Lopez were an incredible team on the last volume of X-Men. This creative team delivered the BEST depiction of Storm in decades. I’ve been a huge Terry Dodson fan for years – you may best remember his Uncanny X-Men run with Matt Fraction.

X-Men #1 arrives May 29th.
