And DC already has more than one female-only team series with Birds of Prey and Gotham City Sirens.

Seriously, I recommend it to everyone. I think supporting a book as feminist and queer as it is, is incredibly important. We will only get good things if we prove that we’ll buy them.

Also, I’d really love to see autostraddle pay more attention to Batwoman as well. It’s kind of ignored around here and that’s very unfortunate.

I could see Jubilee being the lead of this team if Storm weren’t around but would Storm really defer leadership to Jubilee while on the same team though? I’m gonna need an explanation for her not wanting to take point in this situation. She has always had strong leadership skills and respect from her fellow X-Men. Especially Xavier. Actually most of the men in particular would be fine with taking orders from her than they would any other female X-Man. IMO she’s always been THE female face of Marvel like Wonder Woman is to DC. For her to take orders from Jubilee of all people just doesn’t sound right to me unless it’s supposed to be some kind of teaching moment. And given who else is on the team I can see Jubilee making decisions and the other girls looking over at Storm for approval like “Is this okay?”. I mean she’s Storm! Hopefully, this is addressed in the comic.

As for Jubilee, while Storm’s definitely got seniority, I think she’d be next in line, so if they’ve got a reason for Storm not being leader, then Jubilee would be the logical choice out of the other five. She was sorta team leader in Generation X I think (aside from the two adults that is), and was Night Thrasher’s number 2 in the post-civil war New Warriors. Although the fact she’s a vampire these days should possibly count against her, unless she’s been cured of that…

Hopefully they won’t fuck this up completely.
