That Guice cover of swingers, Robin and Jubilee is just so sweet, innocent and cute. Whatever could possibly stand in the way of these two young heroes in love?
Having set the separate universes right again, Axel Asher enjoys a carriage ride in the park with his Marvel Universe girlfriend, Ming. Until Jubilee and Generation X show up. Jubilee has tracked Axel down in order to plead with him to use his Access powers for a chance to meet Robin (Tim Drake) one more time. They didn't get a chance to say goodbye after the events of DC Versus Marvel/Marvel Versus DC. Jubilee has a crush on The Boy Wonder and really wants to see him again. In return, she'll make it up to Axel by fixing things with Ming. Jealous Ming.
Against everything he should be about, the whole keeping the two universes separate, Access agrees to cross Jubilee over to hook-up with Robin. What could possibly go wrong?
Access is overpowered by Two-Face! Using the same gimmick that Robin used to beat Jubilee, the pair outsmart and overpower Dent. After that, they're confronted by The Scorpion!
Guice gets support from Joe Rubinstein on finishes and Lee Loughridge on colors. The look is a lot less over-the-top, so to speak. It all looks smooth. Even with a wonky premise, the story plays out pretty well. It's a fun romp.
DC/Marvel All Access earns three stars.
