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.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Rogue and Gambit have both had mini-series in the past. I don't know about the rest.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
The Starjammers have had a couple minis before. Jubilee, I think, is a first. I have vague notions that there may once have been a Mystique miniseries before, but I may just be thinking of old X-Factor stories.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Still no Outsiders on the New Comics Release List! Are we never to see a new Outsiders again?
For some reason, I think I read somewhere that it's due next week.
And thanks to SA supplying me with Outsiders CRACK, I have read all the current issues, and I'm dying for the next one. I *love* the writing in it -- possibly more than TT, which is saying a lot, because TT is my fave right now.
