Everyone’s Favorite Mallrat Gets Her Own One-Shot In ‘Jubilee: Deadly Reunion’
by Tony Thornley
April is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. What better way for Marvel Comics to celebrate than with everyone’s favorite wise-cracking fireworks-slinging mutant, Jubilee?!
Debuting on April 29th, 2026, Jubilee: Deadly Reunion will see Jubilation Lee surprised when her long-lost cousin shows up at the X-Men’s doorstep — with mutant powers of his own and a mission that will force Jubilee to explore her Chinese heritage and family history in a profound way. The special Marvel Voices story comes from Gene Luen Yang and Michael YG.
“I’ve been a big fan of Jubilee since high school, when I was reading the Chris Claremont and Jim Lee X-Men run,” Yang shared. “She just felt like someone I would’ve been friends with at school, except she’s an X-Man. She’s also an American Born Chinese like me, so I’ve always wanted to tell a story about her uneasy relationship with her roots. I’m thrilled to finally get the chance.”
“I’m greatly honored to collaborate with Gene Luen Yang once again,” Michael YG shared. “This project is truly a celebratory highlight for me, just like a jubilee itself!”
From the solicitation: Jubilation Lee always puts her life on the line for those in need — but for family? She’ll do anything! When the cousin she never knew is in sudden need of help, Jubilee tracks him down to save him! But Jubilee may find that her familial bonds aren’t as strong as she hoped! What secrets does her cousin hold? And what dangerous mutant power does he wield?! Join Jubilee as she embarks on a bombastic and life-altering journey of family, heart and heartbreak!
Check out the first two revealed covers from Fanyang and Ivan Tao above and watch for Jubilee: Deadly Reunion from Marvel Comics in April.
