Favorite GenX Story of All Time

[Tre Styles]

GenXFans UNITE! What was your favorite all-time GENX story?
I think one of mine would definitely be the Phalanx Covenent that led to the first arc(Issues #1-4).

Others would include:
-GenX in NY against Gene Nation ( you remember....Emma kicked Leech. Bad Emma)
-AOA's GEN NEXT.

-Synch's being possessed by Emplate.


-Omega Red Battle

-Skin and Chamber vs. The X-Cutioner

-Jubilee's Monster Mash Issue

-Jim Mahfood's GenX Underground Special issue

-That issue where Monet was revealed to be autistic

-GenX during OZT in LA.

-Chamber mini-series(I know...but it counts, since he was a GenX character)

I really liked the "Generation Next" issues of X-men and Uncanny that set the whole deal up. I like Kubert on these characters more than Bachallo, and these had Clarisse in them as well...very tragic stuff.

[The Lucky One]

The Jay Faerber arc where they found themselves stuck in the bodies of the Hellions... on the night they were due to die. And I know it was near the end of the book, but the "Four Days" arc was cool.

I haven't read Generation X yet, but I'm trying to find #24
or whichever it is where Bastion ? captures Jubilee and she wakes up with
either a shaved head or just really short hair.

Does anyone have a picture of Jubilee waking up and having short or
no hair ?

I don't have any pictures, but the Bastion capturing Jubilee storyline was in Generation X #26-28. She had very short hair at the time. The bald girl was Daria in that storyline. :)

As for my personal favorite Generation X stories, obviously anything that features Jubilee prominently is high on my reread list. The Zeor Tolerance arc. The Annual about her parents. The Counter X arc where she leads the team.

But my favorite stuff with the team is the Emplate battles (plus you get Jubilee's excellent Top Ten Reasons why Emplate is a loser) and I really like the stuff with Chamber and Skin on the road with Howard the Duck. That was Generation X at it's quirky best.

the first 3 issues of gen x are my favorite of the series.

Jubilee was also shaved bald and her hair grew back in a short look that was kinda cool looking for her. She should have kept it.


My favorite arcs were the Zero Tolerance arc, I liked the stories building up to it too, especially Skin and Chamber on the road with Howard the Duck.

Anything Bachalo drew was pretty much awesome in my opinion.

Jubilee was also shaved bald and her hair grew back in a short look that was kinda cool looking for her. She should have kept it.

But she was never shown bald. She was kidnapped by Bastion in #25 and shown trying to escape with a short boys-type haircut in #26. Was it ever said she was shaved bald. I can't imagine she was and then had her hair grow back in one issue,

I love the whole Gen X team, but I have to say one of my all-time faves is the whole Phalanx covenant storyline. (Not to mention that Joe Mad did the pencilling!)

My fave Gen X story has got to be the novel by Scott Lobdell (which was later very poorly (IMHO) adapted into an annual a couple of years later) dealing with the "ghosts" of the Hellions. I never liked Chamber before I read that, now he's one of my fave X-characters.

OZT was a prety good arc too. :)

[Domo Goddess]

Thanks for the info ! :)
I'll try and look for issue 26.

I love your avatar, TrickyDisco !

[TrickyDisco]

Why thank you! :D Also nice to see somebody else appreciate Domo :) Mojo and all his shenaningans wouldn't be the same without Major Domo's presence ;)

[Domo Goddess]

So Jubilee is never shown bald ?
Who exactly is Daria ?

TD- Would you mind reviewing some of my Domo fics ?

Man, I thought I was the only person who ever read that sucker! Definitely, that was a really cool story- I love how Skin's packing for a week consists of what he's wearing and six pairs of underwear. :D And that Chamber is unaffected by D'Spayre because he's constantly depressed anyway... nice touch. It's kinda sad that I care more about Statis than any actual in-canon Gen X additions.

No.

Who exactly is Daria ?

A member of the Operation Zero Tolerance organization and a test subject for the Sentinel technology. Pretty much just a minion. She sort of pitied Jubilee while she was held captive and kind of befriended her.
