    At least the latest Jean variant shows all her costumes and puts the better full costume front and centre, it's nice to see all variations of Jean and to escape having that dumb mini skirt shoved down our throats. As for Rachel, it's pretty obvious she is a minor character going forward so I get why she doesn't get a variant. They even put her in a bulky costume, so now she isn't "sexy" enough for a cover. I am lowering my expectations, I think Rachel is going to appear for a little bit and they might even follow up a bit on the end of X-Force, but I think she gets written out by X-Men #3 and doesn't appear anymore after that.

    Hopefully if they aren't going to use Rachel that they release her to another writing group and she can join the Avengers or the Guardians of the Galaxy or something. At least the people who want Rachel far away from Jean will be happy if they aren't even in the same editorial department anymore so there will be no more connection between Rachel and Jean going forward.

    I loved The Exterminated but that was a farewell to old Cable (who died). Rachel didn't die. Extermination ends with Cable going after Ahab after he took Rachel, and recovering was the entire point of X-force.
    I would have liked something on the Exterminated but: A-she didn't die B- It was Cable's farewell and (Adult) Jean's meeting and bonding time with Hope

    Rachel should have been mentioned. A line about the X-men trying to find her wouldnt have hurt anyone nor taken the focus away from Cable

    Rachel being unable to fight Ahab, not being part of Ahab's defeat, and no mention of her afterwards was a massive disservice to the character, and IMO created a lot of the negative outlook of Rachel fans towards the future. She went a full two years of just being a mind controlled zombie.

    I wish I had a printed copy of the Extermination outline to cuddle with at night that could whisper sweet plot nothings into my ear.

    That's because certain writers wanted to get rid of her -- I never thought of Rachel as being redundant unlike the fatherless Frostitutes.

    The Cuckoos have never been redundant either.

    Like many mothers and daughters, Jean and Rachel have had good times and rocky times. Let's not forget the good times.

    Still trawling through the past few messy years. Man, they loved to screw with Rachel. When did she get-Hounded again after Extermination?

    Ahab got her during Extermination, then she was a mind control puppet by the general of the weird nation from X-Force, then a mind control puppet by Baby Stryfe, then freed herself finally.
