Shifting to the X-Men side of the equation, Spider X wanted to know: “Brian Wood is taking over ‘X-Men’ in June. Looking at the solicits it looks like both Jubilee and Warpath are nowhere to be found. Will they still be active characters in the X-Universe and where can we find them?” and Taurean added a smartly written plea for more Jubilee, saying, “I understand that some characters are more popular but I feel that the X-Men have too many books with repeat characters. Can we get a book dedicated to the teen X-Men? Or X-Men that don’t always get the limelight?”
Alonso: Simple and plain, X-Men titles that feature teen or obscure X-Men are a hard sell, Spider X. What draws readers to X-Men titles is the iconic characters they know and love. Our best strategy to keep “b-tier” X-Men characters vital is to have them bump shoulders with the Wolverines and Cyclopses of the X-Men Universe. Like Warpath, for instance, who is gong to appear in “AvX.” As for Jubilee…? You’re going to have to wait a little while longer, Taurean.
Logic fail Alonso. How does removing Warpath and Jubilee (so they don’t appear at all) help them bump shoulders with “Popular” characters. And while we’re on the subject of “popular characters”, is Cyclops even that popular? Hint (some sales numbers):
CYCLOPS #1 - 13,770
WOLVERINE & JUBILEE #1 - 21,354
JUBILEE #1 - 31,287
It’s drabble Sunday everyone! Send me any prompts involving my character either doing something, hanging with someone, or just being fabulous. I promise I’ll get to them! I might not get to it today, but they will be gotten to by Monday night the latest.
-Laughs.- You’re perfection Pete.
Jubes! Darling, be a dear, I was told you could help me with a little problem. I’m at a total loss as to what color I should paint my nails… Got any suggestions?
-Laughs.- Oh Ali! Of course! What kind of a color are you looking for? I have polish that changes color, bright colors, pastels, and sparkle polish.
Wow, you really do have everything! Oh, I was definitely thinking something bright… Maybe neon? Then again sparkly has always been a favorite of mine. Yeah, lets go with that bright and sparkly!
A girl’s gotta be prepared, Ali! Having the right nail polish is essential. -She starts going throw them and collect all bright colored and sparkle nail polish.- I’m thinking a bright blue for you, with white sparkles, like your old costume.
