X-MEN SPOTLIGHT
Written by JOHN RHETT THOMAS
Cover by MIKE MCKONE
The X-Men head to the front of the class in May with a SPOTLIGHT all their own! First up is an in-depth account with writer Jeff Parker of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, the much- beloved series that happens to share a name with the blockbuster movie! Then, we investigate the four-color pasts of Magneto and Emma Frost — two Marvel characters who’ve straddled the line between good and evil. We also catch up with Kieron Gillen, newly ensconced as writer of UNCANNY X-MEN, Marvel’s flagship mutant title for almost fifty years! And speaking of those classic days, we’ll take a look at some of Chris Claremont’s greatest hits during the X-Men’s ’80s heyday!

[Manic]

The Wolverine & Jubilee comic is stupid for one fundamental reason: There are vampires out there who have their thirsts for blood completely under their control, and the X-Men haven't consulted a single one of them. Thanks to Cyclops shooting Blade in the back, they can't exactly turn to him. Psylocke and Shadowcat have enough connections with MI:13 to give them a meeting with Spitfire, but they didn't do that either. Wolverine just packed the girl up, moved her to a dim city, and went all Black Snake Moan on her.

Wolverine and Rockslide have got two tickets to this anti-paradise but before they can reunite with the kidnapped Jubilee, they’re going to have to get those tickets punched. Hard. They’re all about to come face to face with the master of the game but they won’t be playing by his rules... even if they knew what they were!
