According to Wood in an interview with
USA Today, the series puts Jubilee in the lead but each of the femme fatales will get their chance to shine. Wood said he's using the first few issues of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run from 2001 as a template for his storytelling. Hence the use of Sublime, one of Morrison's creations. The author promises the book will also delve into the relationships, sexual encounters and love that occurs between the various X-team members. Wood says he plans to challenge the notion of female promiscuity, that is the double standard that Wolverine can sleep with as many females as he likes but if Storm or Rogue sleep with more than one man then they're labeled promiscuous.
Sounds like intriguing stuff and I'll definitely be picking up the first issue at least. The book is set to be released sometime in April.
