The Women of the Atom are starring in the breakout new book of summer! Jubilee’s return (with baby boy in tow) led to a brand new villain and adventure in X-Men. The enemy is so fearsome even Sublime sought refuge among the mutants he once fought. Brian Wood answered fan questions about the hit series including the mutant turned vampire Jubilee’s role on the team.

 

“Yeah, I know there’s been some talk about how maybe Jubilee isn’t a vampire any longer, or that I’m ignoring it because she hasn’t displayed any of those traits in an overt way, but she will. And yes, she is still a vampire, and yes, those missions are coming. Shogo’s not going to get in the way of her being one of the X-Men. But it might be a couple issues more before you see it in full force,” Wood said on Comic Book Resources X-Position.

Jubilee’s baby, Shogo, is not just part of the initial arc. Wood said to expect the child to play a role in big upcoming storylines.

 

“Well, he’s around for the long haul, and will be a constant presence in her life (at least under the pen of this writer). As far as how big, well, I’ll just say to read the “Battle Of The Atom” series. Shogo may surprise you.”

 

Battle of the Atom is the major X-Men Anniversary event in which X-Men from the future come in the present to make sure the original X-Men from the past (in the All-New X-Men book) go back. The storyline will run through all the major X-books starting in September.
