New Betsy/Rachel book TBA

[Factor]

So looks like Marvel just announced Betsy and Rachel will be joining a new team in the new era.

Weird way to drop a pretty big info, but here it is:

Rachel Summers, AKA Askani, currently playing a pivotal role in Krakoa’s final battle in RISE OF THE POWERS OF X. She will star alongside her girlfriend, Betsy Braddock, in a yet-to-be announced X-Men title in the upcoming FROM THE ASHES era.

From the titles we know, I think it could be X-force.
But I'm hoping that they're actually reviving Excalibur under a better writer.

“Yet to be announced book” means it’s not X-Force. Or X-Factor.

I hope its not Excalibur because that would be a wave 2 launch and that wont come till like the Fall I bet.

I hope they are taking over X-Factor with Polaris too.

Valid point Jackarow. I guess we're gonna have to wait. ;(

The way it’s phrased certainly sounds like a separate title from all the ones we’ve heard of. Looks like anyone hoping for them to break up is out of luck.

We know so little about them and their line-ups that I'm not sure they count as "fully" announced.
That was a small teaser. Plus Marvel can be a bit confusing in their wording sometimes.
But I hope you're write. I want a proper Excalibur relaunch.

This could be interesting.

Yeah I'm not convinced yet that it's a title we haven't heard of, exactly because Marvel's wording can be confusing like you said. Very happy to hear they're in something coming up though!

Excalibur would be my most preferred choice but if that means waiting until wave 2 then give me X-Factor/Force!

I wonder when they plan to announce these books/creative teams. Are there any upcoming cons?

Yeah, Chicago's big con C2E2 is next month.

With all the minis we've been getting recently I wonder if they announced the ongoings but not the minis.

[Hi-Fi]

I'm glad. That said, I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I hope Betsy isn't Captain Britain anymore. Not because I want Brian to have the mantle (I really don't care), but because the Betsy I love doesn't fight for a flag or for Otherworld.

Sounds like this is more Rachel-centric than Betsy-centric. Also, it seems deliberate that they referred to Betsy as Betsy Braddock rather than Captain Britain. It doesn’t necessarily mean she isn’t Captain Britain anymore, though. It could be that her role is a more expanded one, with Captain Britain being a part of her identity just the way that being Rachel’s girlfriend is another part of her identity.

I'm not sure about that. They focused on Rachel because she's on the Daredevil cover.

It would be so funny if Tini Howard came back.

That's the impression I got as well. My hunch is that it's a team book.
