so this basically confirms Rachel is just a stand in for Jean.

No i don't think so, I think it just confirms that Rachel is Jean's kid and has the same bloodline.

Le sigh, I think it basically means the editors aren't doing their job any more by publishing a book telling someone to read an issue that a character doesn't appear in. It's really telling about the X-Office, the editors, and the writers than Rachel and Jean's supposed interchangeability.

but she is being used as a standin for Jean in this story as we all know that Rachel was NOT present in the original UXM story.

The problem is that they actually act like it was Rachel who fought StarHammer in Uncanny X-Men #387 instead of Jean. They attribute what Jean did to defeat StarHammer to Rachel. The artist even redraws some of the panels from Uncanny 387 showing long haired Jean, yet the book says it was Rachel.

Considering the writer knows the details about how StarHammer was defeated and the artist has clearly seen the issue, was this a mistake or intentional?

Some of the creators clearly read the book. Mistake or attempt to retcon Revolution Jean into being Rachel?

They couldn’t have just written it with Jean and waited a month or two to publish?

They can't really do that lol. Tbh I think Guggenheim and/or Leah just remembered it wrong and they went with it. Evidence that editors don't do their jobs properly anymore.

[DungeonmasterJim]

Well, bummer. Was excited until I saw the art. Not a fan at all of the artist of the preview pages. Not sure I'll drop $5 on it.

[AbnormallyNormal]

I like the nods to various characters and lore

Super cringey how OML and Storm joke and react to the Stork re: Kitty but whatever

Nice how Rachel seems kinda mysterious in this

The correct term is upgrade.

We all look alike to Broccoli people, idk. This is just window dressing anyway, this is really an Excalibur reunion story.

There is also apparently a writer on the issue that isn't credited. (Monty Nero?)

Perhaps Marvel editors just aren't good at their jobs?

How the hell do you forget an entire writer? Doesn’t he literally have to attend all the plot meetings?
