Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel launch a brand new X-Men #1 next month with an all female team.
In the last volume of X-Men Jubilee was transformed into a vampire in Curse of the Mutants and joined a cabal of fellow undead trying to control their blood lust. The fireworks generating mutant turned vampire will back with the Children of the Atom. Brian Wood told a fan on Comic Book Resources X-Position how he will approach the mutated Jubilee.
“I’ll be the first to admit I struggled with the fact that I would be writing a vampire Jubilee — I was hoping to be able to write the “classic” one but it was not in the cards. But we, my editor Jeanine [Schaefer] and I, figured the way to go is to just treat the vampire stuff the same way we would a mutant ability. So she is not “Vampire Jubilee” any more than we would think “Eye Beam Scott” or “Metal Bones Logan” as their primary defining trait as a person. So Jubilee is Jubilee all day long, and her skills will come from her vampire traits.
As far as the immortal stuff, man, just you wait. ‘Til, like, issue 6 or 7, not long.”
Jubilee and the all-female X-Men will face the return of a Sublime and a new villain so powerful…Sublime seeks out the mutants!
