Harmony ,'Underneath'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Oh, yes, I'm hoping for a big angsty return sometime this season. That would be great!
This last episode was fun. I enjoyed it, but in an almost entirely different way than I had been enjoying JLU.
I loved WonderPig blocking bullets with her bracelets.
Still no Outsiders on the New Comics Release List! Are we never to see a new Outsiders again?
But -- hey -- Birds of Prey, for some reason, I wasn't expecting that 'til next week.
Both Gambit and Jubilee are getting their own titles now? In addition to Rogue and the Starjammers? This is getting kind of ridiculous. Unless said titles are any good.

Are they miniseries or regular titles?

I don't know. The link merely describes them as #1s. Are Rogue and Starjammers miniseries or regular titles? How do you tell? Mystique and Emma Frost and Wolverine are all regular titles, as far as I know. In related news, I presume Mary Jane is one as well. The only way I can tell is if it's obvious it's just a miniseries, like Ultimate Nightmare.
Okay, I presume the miniseries are denoted by "#1 (of 5)" and such, which would point to Gambit and Jubilee being titles.
The Marvel site says Gambit is ongoing, implies Jubilee is, and states that Starjammers is a 5 issue miniseries. Rogue looks limited too.
Rogue looks limited too.
I don't think so.
"GOING ROGUE" PART 4 (OF 6)
That says to me it's part 4 of the first arc, not a limited series. I believe you're right about Starjammers, though. I didn't catch a definite statement, but it has a "Part" label with no title for an arc.

I didn't catch a definite statement, but it has a "Part" label with no title for an arc.I believe Rogue has been solicited as a mini-series. As for the other titles, Marvel has been kind of coy lately about titles, often introducing them with the implication that they will be ongoing, but when sales figures come in, making adjustments to the lower-selling ones and calling them a mini-series. Or the title may be part of their non-direct-market marketing plan, and a mini-series may be exteneded to an ongoing for no visible reason (this has happened with the Thor, Son of Asgard title). Emma Frost is an ongoing, but appears to be headed for cancellation. Marvel has been in the habit lately of not annoucning the cancellations, just not soliciting them after an easily-collectible stopping point.
Have any of these characters (Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Starjammers) had their own titles/miniseries in the past? Mystique and Emma, was this the first time they'd been launched? I've never really thought about comics being launched and cancelled like TV shows, really. Mostly because I've generally read the successful ones. The only anomaly was Alias, which turned into The Pulse. And Daredevil, I really began with Volume II, #1.
Rogue and Gambit have both had mini-series in the past. I don't know about the rest.
