X-Men Vol. IV (Marvel NOW!)

review 1: This was fairly enjoyable. A lot of people really like that this is an all-female team, though there are almost always strong female characters in X-Men books, so that's not terribly important to me. I am glad that it just sort of happens that way, and other characters are involved, albeit peripherally, so it doesn't seem like they are doing it for PR reasons. I also liked that it got me back up to speed on Jubilee, who was a favorite character of mine, but had sort of dropped off the radar (and apparently become a vampire... which is a bit weird). While I wasn't really up to speed on much of what was happening here, it was well-written and illustrated, and I would definitely consider picking up more.
review 2: We've got a good set up here and I'm just curious ... morenow to see where we end up at. I love the fact that we have a team of females here and that the team, and the comic itself, is still called X-Men. Fabulous. The team dynamics we're great, I could even almost get by the whole bit where Jubilee now has a baby, but I'm a little lost as to why the heck Rachel and Storm were butting heads so much. Especially considering the timing and the reason and taking into account previous X-Men canon. So ends the nitpicking. I'm legitimately interested to see how this goes. less
