"Mutant vampire teen mom?"

Since when did Jubilee become a vampire? She's been in the sunlight recently. Oh crap, does she sparkle?! I swear I will not buy this if she sparkles!!!

Good art, Logan's arms look a little too long on that first cover but I guess that's just for style.

@Person- Yes, Jubilee lost her powers in Decimation, switched to technology based powers in New Warriors, then became a vampire in Curse of the Mutants, learned to move beyond need for blood and in the day in X-23, Vol 3, and with Marvel Now she shows up with an orphaned baby that she is raising.

It's all a bit convoluted, isn't it? As far as i know she doesn't sparkle, though.

I hope this is good. It can be the first comic this year to uphold greatness, so it better do so.

Marvel is at the top of the game, but that doesn't mean it can't have flaws. The writers need to go to the editors for advice, go back to the platform set in the 60's and 80's by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Chris Claremont, and John Byrne, and if the editors say no, they do it themselves. They do, however, need an example to go after.

Why why why they change the cutest art of Coipel on David Lopez((( #1-3 arc was so kawaii with awesome cute Psylocke, Jubilee, Pixie, Rogue... new art is not so pretty sweet, only Jubilee on cover by Dodson is good (but Wolverine's nose is so awfull! He is from Azerbaijan???)

sigh, marvel needs to get some people in charge that want to restore the [frick] out of their universe. the fact none of the mutants that lost their mutant abilities haven't gotten their powers back after avx is [frick]ing absurd. so is the fact Magneto lost his powers, he wasn't one of the 5 hosts. Colossus hasn't had any problems with his [frick]ing powers, and neither has namor apparently
