Rachel will be in Excalibur #18

I am quite tired of the sexual subject on Rachel, it seems that she has to be a lesbian yes or yes, if they ask me I would say no, but I am quite tired on this subject.

It’s 2021 everybody is either lesbian or gay

The thing is, given that Rachel has definitively been shown to be attracted to men and her being attracted to women is subtext, turning her lesbian would be bi-erasure and I really, really hope Leah Williams doesn't do that because I'm certain she understands that would affect a lot of Rachel's fans personally (nobody likes being told what you are doesn't exist). Plus, it would really diminish the tragedy of Rachel's love story with Franklin Richards.

Oh yeah, I really felt like that one devalued Rachel's origin as well. I mean, look at this panel:

It's Marvel's fault for having him as a toddler for 30+ years.

Excellent choice. Art Adams is truly a legend...





However, my favorite panel will always be the first meeting between mother & daughter:

Aaaaah, I had been waiting for that moment to happen for soo long, so much drama

Me too. And when Scott found out, I couldn't contain myself (LOL):

[Devaishwarya]

The melodrama was so...ugh!

Of course they love him more than you Rachel...by Scott's own admission, they had no effin' clue who you were and what they meant to you... until that very moment. "rolls eyes"

Marcus To gives good Rachel Prestige...

Reminds me of a stage magician.

To be fair, with how Scott talks about Rachel in the rest of that story and in subsequent stories, it's clear that he pretty much accepted Rachel right away. Maybe that's because he knew her before, or maybe it's because since he never had a real family growing up, he reaches out wherever he can.
