In April, Marvel Comics will be re-launching the X-MEN series with an entirely female superhero cast. Brian Wood, who created DMZ, will write the team of all-female characters, while Oliver Copiel (THOR) will illustrate. Even though the cast will be all female, Wood says that it will not be what defines the series. He says that the female characters have always been one of the best things about the franchise.
The new comic will have fan favorite characters including Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Psylocke, Rachel Grey and Jubilee. The larger than average cast of female characters is suppose to be a hit as they have always been amazing characters.
Marvel and Brian Wood are keeping quiet about the storyline and plot of this new series. However they have said that Jubilee will bring home an orphaned baby that may be the key to mankind’s survival. These super heroines are being promised to bring the same amount of high action and broad appeal as the regular X-MEN comic.
