It is now time for Wolverine and
Jubilee Issue 3, as we reach right into the really big comic book box
of death and pull out an issue for a random review. In this issue,
Jubilee is struggling to come to come to terms with being turned into
a vampire.
Wolverine and Jubilee Issue 3 Review
Wolverine and Jubilee Issue 3 was released by Marvel Comics with a cover date of May 1991 and was titled Cursed Part 3 of 4. Wolverine and Jubilee Issue 3 of 4 was written by Kathryn Immonen, with art by Phil Noto, Cover Ar by Nimit Malvia, Clayton Cowles was the letterer, and Jared K Fletcher as the designer.
Yep, vampires,
they have been getting a lot of play in popular culture. And after
the events of M Day(one of the five million events in the past decade
that Marvel hyped as the biggest thing ever, when the Scarlet Witch
went bonkers, rewrote all of reality, was discovered, and then
declared, "no more mutants" depowering all but 198
mutants). Jubilee was actually one of the characters that lost her
powers, but she got them back, at the cost of being a vampire.
She can be
relatively normal, with the healing properties of Wolverine's blood.
Of course there is still some torment, some angst, not being a mutant
or a human, although really there are some perks. And hey, becoming a
vampire without having to sparkle like diamonds in the sunlight is
rather a great thing.
Yes I know, I had
to go there.
The issue was like
most comics these days, obviously written by the trade, but it's not
how much is written, it is what the writer does with what is written
and the writer in this comic book does enough to keep my interest.
The scene with the
X-Men on the couch with the remote control being lost was the
highlight of this issue for me. Yeah go up and change the channel,
there are buttons on the television. Well unless you have one of
those digital converter boxes on the top of the television where you
have to keep on channel three, because there isn't.
I didn't hate this
issue, but it obviously had the same issues that many newer comics
have, which vexes me. Perhaps the comic book industry has passed me
by.
