Plot Summary

DAVID HINE, writer of the upcoming new series DISTRICT X, brings you a gritty urban tale starring BISHOP of the X-MEN! ROBERT KIRKMAN (SLEEPWALKER) spins a hyperactive yarn of teenage misadventure starring everybody's favorite mall rat, JUBILEE!

District X:

Bishop is thinking of taking on an assignment in Mutant Town, which is technically New York’s 11th Precinct, inhabited predominantly by mutants. The area is almost entirely controlled by two gangsters, Frankie Zapruder and Daniel Kaufman. He heads to Frankie’s and makes his way to the roof. There, he meets a young mutant called Dzemal, a Bosnian who had to move to America due to his father’s unpopular beliefs. He works for Frankie but only running small errands. He hopes to do well and eventually be big-time. They are interrupted by Frankie Zapruder’s bodyguards, who frisk Bishop before telling Dzemal to fetch their boss. Frankie arrives and Bishop does his utmost to get a rise out of him. Frankie’s mutation is that he excretes smells, depending on his emotional state. He orders his men to waste Bishop and, when Dzemal complains, Frankie adds him to their list. Bishop isn’t going down that easily and draws energy from the neon light nearby. After Frankie departs, he takes out the two guards but sees Dzemal fall over the rooftop after being fired at. Luckily, Dzemal can glide when the weather is right and is okay. Bishop makes his way downstairs and forces Frankie to pay Dzemal compensation, in return for his life. Dzemal thanks him before gliding away into Mutant Town and Bishop accepts his assignment. This is his precinct.

All the Rage:

Jubilee is hanging out in her home from home, the mall. With three friends, she goes for a corndog and meets Mick, a guy she has a little crush on. He and his friend, Jacob, go skateboarding around the mall and Jubilee warns him to watch out for the rent-a-cops. The girls do some window-shopping and Joe asks her if Mick knows that she’s a mutant. She says he doesn’t but it’s not a big deal. Mutants are cool these days and everybody wants to be one. Later, while playing an arcade game, Jubilee hears a commotion and leaves the arcade to see Mick and Jacob being pursued through the mall by security guards and then by real cops. She heads after them to watch the action close up. Soon, the guys are cornered and Jubilee pitches in to help them escape, using her fireworks to force the cops to unhand her friends. They run and Jubilee follows them outside, only to find that they’ve vanished. Later, she receives a dressing down from Cyclops, who says her actions do nothing to help their relations with the local law. Two days later, Jubilee is back at the mall and sees Mick and Jacob. She tries speaking to Mick but he shuns her. She guesses that some people haven’t heard what’s cool these days.
