Comics

The Uncanny X-Men #2 by Gail Simone & David Marquez

Back on my "reading X-Men comics on Sunday" accidental habit. Need to break that.

When I read issue one, I observed this felt like it was aimed at fans of the animated series, what with it starring Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue and having plot connections to the (repurposed) X-Mansion and the current whereabouts of Professor Xavier. This issue, Jubilee turns up. I feel my point is further proved. (Sure, there are other animated series staples missing — Storm has a solo series now; Cyclops and Beast are in X-Men, where they're running a very traditional X-Men setup (team of mutants jetting around the world fighting bad guys) — but this book undoubtedly has the greatest concentration of them, and particular fan-favourite ones at that.)
