  than perpetual sidekick Jubilee? But will Jubilee and GENERATION X
  survive the experience??

*sigh* I’m gonna have to get marginally invested in the canon fodder to get my Jono fix, aren’t I.

Of course, what I would love is Jono and Jubilee.  Stuck in a broken down van.  Trying to drive cross country with Quire.

The rest of the kids can come to.

Admittedly, the solit for issue #2 has about halved my interest in this book already. The Purifiers attack the school. A school for mutants where about half the named student body had their friends violently murdered by this same group. And the focus of the issue is going to be the kids who, with one exception, weren’t even around at the time.

Really?

Way to flush dramatic potential.

I kinda want to give this book a chance, but I’ve already seen that kid X-Books are pretty much an exercise in treading water, so I’m not hyped on spending money to get invested in another class of future wallpaper. And, honestly, these just aren’t the kids I want to read about.

uuuuugh, Purifiers attacking the school ALREADY?  I KNOW the X-Men have other villains.  If they’re gonna call this book Generation X, how about bringing Emplate out for an airing?  It would even make for a nice callback to the first series.

But yeah… there is nothing about these kids that interests me, and a writer is gonna have to work miracles to get me to think of them as anything other than the next victims when someone wants to remind folk that being a Mutant is Dangerous.

I thought this was a bunch of cosplayers for half a second. Hrm.

When does this come out? Apparently I am garbage at searching for stuff ‘cos I’m comin’ up with nothing.
