Ultimate Comics X-Men will be written by Nick Spencer and  drawn by Paco Medina.  The series will relaunch continuing with the continuity that has already been established in the Ultimate universe.  This title will have the feel of “Days Of Future Past” where mutants are becoming extinct, and are hunted down by order of the government. The X- Roster will consist of Kitty Pryde, Storm, Colossus, Iceman, Jimmy Hudson, Johnny Storm, Liz Allan and Karen Grant aka Jean Grey.  Rogue will also be a big part of this title, which it has been stated that this is a Rogue and Kitty focused book.  September is going to be a great month for comics with the release of Batwoman and now the relaunch of Ultimate X-Men.

I really think she has a tendency to get overlooked in most story lines, but when it comes to orphans this one shines above the rest.  Some call her a Downgrade Dazzler, I call her sparkles…no wait, I call her a female who can literally blow your ass up into kibbles and bits (check the pretty colors).

Her most memorable moment for me at least was when she packed her bags and left the X Mansion to go join Generation X under the supervision of ice princess Emma “tits” Frost and Sean “shrill cast” Cassidy a.k.a. the Irish mutant Banshee.

While with Gen X it was all “When I was an X Man..” this and “Wolverine taught me how to do…” that. She would soon realize that much like the second generation of X-Men back in the day (Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Thunder Bird, Banshee, Sunfire etc.) this was a brand new day and all previous battles aside, new baddies wouldn’t give a flying fuck Forge how many experience points you accrued on the way.

Currently Jubes is taggin’ along with the Ultimate version of Alpha Flight. Seems the entire team is hopped up on the equivalent of the goo that made Capn’ America bulging a super soldier. They seem to be baddies as well and are causing quite a bit of trouble for the X-Men.

SPOILER ALERT:

It’s (The ‘GOO’ called Banshee) made from Logan’s DNA at the labs of Moira MacTaggert (god, I hate her face). Wolvie went and destroyed it all…hopefully.

Watch Jubilee’s character develop in Ultimate X Men!

What better way to start off than with Colossus (Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin) of the X-Men’s Gold Team! Currently Mr. Rasputin has switched teams from Ms. Kitty Pryde’s beefy boyfriend, to North Star’s hot as fuck gay boyfriend in the Ultimate X-Men story line.  Finally some gay lovin’ between mainstream characters in a story line that is not only awesomely written but fantastically drawn!  And I imagine Logan can finally worry less about his furry ass dropping the soap in the X-Showers. (whiiink)

Look out later this month for Ultimate X Men 98, Wolverine has destroyed all the “banshee” and North Star is actually not dead & Colossus are reunited but what the HELL is up with Quicksilver and Magneto’s plan to “DEAL WITH THESE HUMANS” ?!?
