Speaking personally, i'm rarely a fan of Young Whatever superhero stories
when more can be done with the adults. And I never glommed on to the decision
to make Rogue, Ice Man, Pyro, and some others into young teens. That was a
stupid move to me, for all that I like Anna Pacquin...
You think fans are waiting for Jubilee, Psylocke, and Bishop? Intriguing
