Hi Geoff,
is there any significance to Betsy not being called Captain Britain in the solicits and not wearing the uniform? And the same with Rachel not being called Askani? Will it be addressed in the book?
Betsy fans please dont scare him away with the little tidbits youre trying to get about Betsy.
lets just wait for the book and be happy she is appearing.

It's difficult to address certain questions without spoilers or breaching my NDA.
All I can say is, I KNOW you're excited and trying to parse every ounce of data out of the smallest announcements but I would caution everybody against digging TOO deeply into the solicits. They are, by their very nature, a tiny and very shallow overview of the story to come. Sometimes they're straight-up wrong.
The way I write super-heroes who know each other's AKAs and real names is they sort of switch back and forth between them, depending on the scene. For instance– Rachel's 'hero name' is Askani but Betsy's probably never going to call her that. Same with Captain Britain vs Betsy. That would be like me always calling my wife Director Thorne instead of, you know, her name or whatever pet name I have for her.
I think you can take comfort in the fact that the FROM THE ASHES initiative ( or whatever we call a themed release these days) is not a reboot. Krakoa happened and the events of the Fall of X are canon.
Mr. Thorne, for how long have you been working on X-Force? How did Brevoort approach you? Or did you approach him?
Hey RJ, what are the likely settings for your series? I know Otherworld was mentioned but will you revisit other settings? House of Magneto, Age of Apocalypse or Days of Future Past maybe?

Mr. Thorne, do you have any specific inspirations for your upcoming run of X-Force? Any shows, movies, albums or anything of the like that you would use to describe the feeling of the team and its mission?
