My only real personal problem with civil war2 is the art style and mainly it's use of the *new characters and characters I myself don't care about.
The premise itself though is actually pretty interesting I think.

Hi I'm 35 and pretty much an old timer comic book reader. Haven't bought a comic book since 1996. Last stuff I was into were Clone Saga, Onslaught, Heroes Reborn, Spawn 32, buying old back issues of Power pack and alpha flight my two favorites when I was a kid in the early 1980s.

New comic books these days I'm just not into. My . Favorite x men are now stupid vampires or dead or joined up with newer version of Avengers etc.
Plus the constant reboot series every month or so disgusts me

Jubilee losing her powers then becoming a vampire is still the stupidest concept I've ever seen belched out of an industry too bloated and comfortable for it's own good

The Brian Wood X-Men series redeemed her a bit.. he mostly ignored the Vampire thing (it was still there, just never mentioned) and the whole raising a kid thing was pretty interesting.

Well she's still a vampire from I've read on comic previews etc.
No thanks. I'll just stick with catching up on old back issues from the 1980s and 1990s

Best thing they can do is retcon her back to her old self like how X-Men 92 is or just make up some bullshit like the ending of Dallas where it was all just a dream or go off the proverbial deep end and say that it all took place in the snow globe of a mentally incompetent youth like in St. Elsewhere

Was Jubilee ever an interesting character?! Vampire or not, it just seemed to be regular 80/90ies marvel teen soap, wasn't it?

And no, I wouldn't describe her as "regular 80/90ies marvel teen soap." Frankly, that's such an ill-fitting description that I don't know what it's supposed to do with the character. She rarely had romantic relationships, let alone the type of bed-hopping one would associate with a soap opera. She more like of an irreverent transformation of the teen sidekick, used very effectively for comic relief, with elements of tragedy in her backstory. She's a teenager, but those are people, too. There are stories to be told about teenage characters. |

I'm just putting this out there, but James Rhodes/War Machine is a far more interesting character to me than Tony Stark/Iron Man ever was, though I did actually kind of like Superior Iron Man and the idea of a symbiote suit. IDK, just wish James was in that International Iron Man title instead of Tony. I mean do we really need two Iron Man books?

I'm digging the main Iron Man book since Bendis took over, but International #1 didn't blow my skirt up.
