I think I don't know enough about these characters to really care to continue with this series. I didn't even know Jubilee was a vampire (or I'm guessing she is since she drinks blood in this issue). I'll pick up the next issue but if that one isn't better then I'm just going to drop this series.

I'm getting exactly what I wanted from this book, a closer look at the younger Mutants. In really enjoying it. I still go back and forth on the art though.

I know I missed a lot when I was out of the world of comics for 20 years but...Jubilee is a vampire? The baby part was weird enough but...vampire? Seriously? What...why...how did this even happen? I...guess that explains the random appearance of fangs every other panel she's in?

And yes, the art is as atrocious as ever.

This book declined fast. The story was not engaging. Characterization was off. Art...not good.
