    Well she was just a little bit angry so I can understand her just wanting to kill Stryfe. There was something she said too about always letting them get away. I don't think she was just talking about Stryfe, she may have been talking about Ahab too. That's why I kind of wonder if she goes in more of an anti-hero direction when she shows up again. I am going to lay bets down that she doesn't become the actual Dark Phoenix, I bet she starts calling herself Dark Phoenix because she intends to start using any means necessary to take down enemies. Rachel deciding to embrace the Dark Phoenix costume to intimidate people would be kind of fun actually. I can imagine all the drama that would cause with everyone if she starts going around and calling herself Dark Phoenix.

    And for me it will never make sense that people are okay with him killing Old Cable. He might become Old Cable one day, but in practical sense, they are different people, and he killed him without mercy. That's just dumb. And since he won't even apologize, I can't make myself like him and understand people being okay with him either. Also, why make the O5 come back to their time just to have a time displaced Cable? sigh


    Happy that Rachel took control of her life and showed to be very powerful and heroine. I hope they have big plans for her. And Boom Boom!
    On top of that, they keep trying to make WiFi out to be justified in killing Cable as "he wasn't doing his job and motivated by selfish reasons" yet ignore his hypocrisy considering that he messed with time himself in order to revive Cyclops under the selfish notion that "It wasn't right" for Cyclops to be dead.

    This was a good read but i'm not sure any of it will matter going forward but for what it was this was a good series and i loved the art.

    I agree with you about always letting them get away - a constant issue with comics. And even if they do put the enemy down permanently they always seem to spring back up somehow. I always remember in End of Greys were she said that the Death Commandos fear she was Phoenix, but after what she would do to them they would wish she was. I am butchering the line but in essence she was going to do worse to them than the cosmic firebird ever would have.

    Due to the tepid reception to this book sales wise, I’m not anticipating Kid Cable showing up anywhere for awhile. Which is fine with me honestly.

    I hope this is the direction she will take in the new X-titles because it's the impress she gave at the end of X-Force.

    This will be interesting, I am still not sure how much she will be featured but she did get a variant cover:

    Well up until last week most were sure it was supposed to be Jean. But now that the Mark Brooks poster labels Rachel as Dark Phoenix, it could in fact be Rachel. Hmmmm, don't know how I feel about this if so.

    Looks like Dark Phoenix to me, never seen a depiction of Rachel close to that. Then again, I've missed a lot of her appearances in Excalibur and later comics.

    Well Rachel wore the Dark Phoenix costume for 10-12 issues in Excalibur back in the day. I literally just edited my post to note that in the Mark Brooks cover poster where Rachel is shown in the Dark Phoenix costume and labeled as Dark Phoenix.

    Well, in that case. The short hair IS more Rachel than Jean, assuming it is short, the flames get a little in the way.

    I assume she got rid of the hound marks while Phoenix:ing in Excalibur too?

    It's also posted to the #RachelGrey hashtag that's where I was able to get the picture link because it was hidden on the original twitter post.

    I think it's Rachel because Jean already has a variant cover showing her history. Everyone on twitter thinks it's Rachel.

    Thing is Rachel is already in the corner of the cover, and Jean is nowhere to be found, which makes me think she's the big one.
