Jubilee is returning from a mission in Bulgaria with a baby in tow. She plans on adopting the child and providing it a home just like the X-Men did with her. The baby was in an orphanage and she felt that she just couldn't leave him there. Someone is following her home. His name is John Sublime and he has been on earth since its beginning. He can infect hosts since he is a bacteria lifeform. His plan has been to take over the world. He has been fighting the X-Men for a long time. Once he figured out that Jubliee was headed for the Jean Grey School For Higher Learning he headed there as quickly as possible to talk to them.
He explained to Rachel Summers and Psylocke about his sister whom he kicked away from the earth at the beginning and how she is now back and being reborn in a host body and that she wants to destroy the Earth. She has the power of mechanics and tech. It turns out that she is hiding inside the baby that Jubilee is carrying on a train back to the school. Rogue, Storm, and Kitty have all gone to pick up Jubilee from the train thinking she is in danger and they are pretty right as the baby sets the train on a collision course with another train. The three manage to save the day and get Jubilee and the baby back to the mansion where Sublime's sister, Arkea Prime takes the body of Karima Shapandar who was being held in stasis because no one was sure if she was completely dead or whether some part of her consciousness still lived on.
Arkea immediately gets into their computer and begins to go to work. She sets off the danger room protocol which locks everyone out of the room she is in with Beast, but Rogue is able to bust through. Arkea proves stronger than Rogue and completely cybernetic. Kitty has a chance to end her but this is still the body of Karima and there's a chance that she is still in there so she doesn't take it and let's Arkea get away.
Now the X-Men must find and defeat Arkea while at the same time fixing the damage done to the computer system that is now attacking them at the mansion. Also included in this book is Uncanny X-Men #244 the issue where Jubliee is first introduced. It's interesting to see the old Rogue that was having problems with integrating Carol Danvers into her mind. Also seeing the tough as nails Psylocke in a dowdy dress with her hair pulled back in a bun is hilarious. This is an interesting storyline, though to be honest, Jubilee is not one of my favorite X-Men. I really don't like her. But in this comic, she's trying to act more grown-up than I've ever seen her. She really was an annoying teenager. Hopefully, she'll be a less annoying grown-up. It was pretty cool to read a pretty much all female X-Men comic for a change. I really recommend this book.
