Brian Wood talks X-Men at Marvel.com

[Perfection/Emma 2]

So Rogue is back in a X-Book. Kinda upset that Pixie is doing so little in the first arc. Also VERY happy to see Jubilee again. From the cast alone, I will be buying this book.

I like this approach for Rachel. Unlike Storm or the rest of the team, she thinks in terms of the longview. She's from a dark future and that still influences her clearly. Whatever she does or whatever decisions someone else makes, she's going to look at it in terms of whether this is going to bring on the horrible future she came from. But as for romance, I'm definitely curious! Given the nature of this book, who could she hook up with? She hasn't really gotten intimate with anyone since Korvus in the Shi'ar story. Overall, I love what I'm hearing for this book. Rachel has been somewhat marginalized since AvX and I think this will be a great way to play a more active role once more.

Agreed. I am very happy that Rachel, along with Storm, is getting an opportunity to shine and get some focus. I liked the poiint you make about her experience from the future timeline making her see things from a more global perspective. I also hope that Storm and Rachel's close history is also touched on, as well as Rachel and Kitty's friendship.

Love love love love love this book even before reading it! Can't wait to get me some Rachel characterization, as she has always been one of my fave characters in comicdom. Wood is amazing, and Coipel's visuals on women are just jaw dropping.

I also wonder how Wood got Rogue away from Remender's hands as sole writer of the character. Also, gonna be interesting to see if UXF will be even on the level with this, because if Storm and Psylocke are better handled here, I will be picking this up rather than UXF.

Just 2 things to nitpick at here:
1. I wish they would just get rid of the Jubilee vamp thing. It's just...annoying.
2. Is Coipel inking his own work? Because if so, these issues may be delayed more so than they already will be. Get the man a good inker and keep his work flowing!

Is Coipel a slow artist? Ihad no idea.

Jubilee's vampirism is really the only thing that has me interested in her. At the sametime though I do hope she regains her mutant powers.

Oh come on, Pixie and Bling! too as core character. Im not sure whether to be excited about this book, or run from it. I mean Jubilee, Pixie, and Bling!...

[Ingonyama]

More I hear, more I want.

It's finally happening. I am THRILLED!!

[Quinnhop]

So Jubilee has a baby and Bl!ng's gonna hook up with Rachel.

Can not wait!

[blackphoenix]

I hope Jubilee gets her powers back and gives up the 'True Blood' routine.

Between this and Fearless Defenders, I'm gonna be in girl team Nirvana.

Rachel sounds more like Jean Grey

Jean Grey isn't global, she's domestic.

There's a lot of tucking and duct-tape in Fearless Defenders. Authenticity in doubt :/

[stussyjones]

Jean Grey isn't global, she's domestic.

Yep that's right
