No more team-ups with vampire Jubilee

No sooner do I announce on my blog that I’m going to be buying my first ever issue of the comic book X-23, than Marvel announces that they’re cancelling the title! ComicBookResources has the scoop. It seems that January’s issue #20 is going to be the last one. How is that fair at all? What if I really like the book? What if X-23 becomes a new favorite character of mine? Why announce the cancellation today of all days?

What the hell, Marvel!? Don’t punish the world for my hubris!

This is like that time I panned the new Green Arrow, only for the writer to almost immediately announce he was leaving the title.

So I’m sorry, X-23 writer Marjorie Liu. I must have done something somewhere to someone to warrant such violent reaction to my blog posts from both Marvel and DC. This doesn’t bode well for my eventually working for one of them someday. I’m still going to buy the super adorable X-23 issue tomorrow, even if the book is on its way to cancel-ville. It’ll be my way to stick it to the man.

Fans of Liu should know that Marvel said she’ll be moving on to other projects. And X-23 will become a reoccurring character in the Avengers Academy series, which I think is a neat place for her. Much cooler teen school setting for her to join over Wolverine and the X-Men’s teen school setting.
