Ooooo we like this! Thank you for sharing! Heart

Yeah! I remember the wedding of Scott+Jean from the '90s, and here's proof...

I don't know how Storm ever forgave Jean for that bridesmaid dress.

But what a sweet moment for Rachel, I'd completely forgotten about this.

I really miss Rachel before the 2010s.

I loved this scene, and realized why it happened and was importabt the next week when Rachel was sent out of the comics for almost a decade.

It was definitely a good way to bring closure to her character arc that started when she first travelled back to 616 as a lost tormented teenager

Yes yes. The Hound marks -- both appearing on her when actively using her powers, AND appearing on others with whom she's telepathically touching, was an EXCELLENT, unique, exclusively Rachel choice and I miss it.

GREAT art choice by Baldeon! Glow-y hound marks for everyone and love the panel breaking transition from Astral to Physical Rachel manifestations...

How do you feel about Betsy being romantically connected to Rachel? Would you have preferred Kitty?

Betts seems arbitrary, I accept Rachel/Kitty as a possible longterm endgame but wonder where that puts Franklin in her relationship bingo card.

I don't even remember them doing much with Franklin/Rachel. It may be interesting to see Rachel come out to him.

How do you feel about Betsy being romantically connected to Rachel? Would you have preferred Kitty?

I am probably going to get horribly mauled for saying this, but I always saw Kitty/Illyana as the ultimate endgame couple, so I am perfectly fine with Rachel being with Betsy.

TBH, I cant decide between the two pairings.

No thanks. I feel like that time has passed for me. Kate does not have a good track record of how she treats her lovers, nevermind friends. The Gold era ruined Rachel and Kate for me. The way Kate treated everyone was bad, and she didn't do much for her best friend who was on her team.

The child that barely knows she exists? Why would he care?

Betsy is the best relationship she's had in a long time. I'm more that happy with this pairing.

I hope they return the effect of her hound marks when she uses her powers, maybe it would look like this...

I like the rare occasions where the hound marking flared out in to a sort of black phoenix affect centered around her eyes (not the dreaded phoenix eye patch)
