“To Quote a Phrase” is a feature where I spotlight memorable quotes from comic books. Today, we look at Jean Grey’s poignant words to Jubilee to try to make sense of a major X-Men death.October is a Month of To Quote a Phrase, both here and at Pop Culture References!Jim Lee kept her as a major character in X-Men, even not as an official member of the team, but when Lee and his other X-Men plotter, While Portacio, left the books, Jubilee was sort of left adrift. Scott Lobdell, though, took advantage of that sense of uncertainty for Jubilee in a nice spotlight issue of the series following the X-Cutioner’s Song in Uncanny X-Men #297, where Jubilee and Professor Xavier (who had not really interacted much before) spent the issue together. That set the scene for another major issue spotlighting Jubilee in her sort of “outside the squad” status quo, as Jubilee started spending most of her time with Illyana Rasputin, the younger sister of Colossus, who had come down with the deadly Legacy Virus. This led to the tragic, but memorable “Going Through the Motions” in Uncanny X-Men #303 (by Lobdell, guest artist Richard Bennett and Dan Green, with letters by Chris Eliopoulos and colors by Joe Rosas).
