JUBILEE

Teen stars are borne into a terrible paradox. They’re hip and cool and appeal to today’s youth.  But that youth is a fleeting demographic, soon to be transformed into tomorrow’s boring adults and replaced by tomorrows’ youth, who undoubtedly hold yesterday’s teen stars in disdain. Totally over them. Totes. OMG. 

Luckily, comic book teen stars can sort of side-step this trap. They don’t need to age much, and if they age, they can be quietly de-aged. They can also disappear into Comics Limbo for years at a time. That way, the younger generation that they once appealed to can have some room to grow up, read some Vertigo, and then discover a new semi-ironic fondness for that funny character that they connected with as a youth, just in time for that character to emerge from Limbo, unchanged, and bathed in a halo of nostalgia.

    This is an excellent point. Maybe it’s why I’ve embraced Jubilee becoming a vampire — it felt right, I think it was...
