What The Hell Happened to Sweet Jubilee??

I just finished reading an X-Men trade, the first one I've picked up since the re-launch oh-so-many moons ago starring Frank Quitely's art and Grant Morrison's words and I am completely gobsmacked. Jubilee is a vampire.

I know I haven't been keeping up with current X-Men drama (Pixie is an X-Men now? WTF??) but holy crap. I just don't know where to start. Maybe it's the fact that Cyclops actually planned something that worked for once. Maybe it's the fact that Wolverine was turned into a vampire and his healing factor failed. Maybe it's that the X-dorks resurrected Dracula in order to fight the one responsible for the whole thing in the first place: Dracula's own son.

Whatever it is, I didn't like it and I'm not impressed. I still don't like Cyclops no matter how they try and make him out to be a team leader and I don't buy that Wolverine would be turned so easily. I also don't buy meek-and-mild Emma Frost either, but that's another blog post.

Thumbs down, X-Men.
