I'm not celebrating yet. It's not like their relationship was retconned out of existance and they could get back together.

I'm not celebrating until Korvus is dead.

That would be amazing if Carey is writing the Cable book, but it doesn’t sound like it from the hints Carey has given about his new project.

The X-titles were retooled when Joe Quesada became editor in chief. Quite a few were eliminated and changed others. Weinberg’s Cable was selling well and very popular with fans, but it didn’t fit into the new schema for the X-books.

Sales had dropped because Marvel completely stopped promoting Cable, so that justified firing Weinberg and Ryan and bringing in Tischman and Kordey.

Firing Weinberg was one of the biggest mistakes Marvel has made this decade. He's very similar to Mike Carey in the way he handles characters, continuity and stories. Getting Weinberg to even write comics in the first place was a huge deal. He should have been given one of the core X-titles after how well he did on Cable.

I would totally enjoy reading the two main books by Weinberg and Carey.

This sounds promising.

Could someone post some Rachel images of Emperor Vulcan #1, please (if there are any good ones)? To spice things up in here a bit. Thanks in advance. :)

I'd do it myself, but I don't have a scanner :o. I also didn't buy Emperor Vulcan yet. I am hopeless!!!!

Am I alone in hoping that Rachel rejoins Excalibur when she returns to Earth?

I hear Excalibur these days has a whole different feel from the old Excalibur. Not that I would know MUCH about this...

I like Rachel as a member of the X-Men. Others may disagree with me on this, but -and, yes, I KNOW she's her own person- in a way she is heiress to the name and fame of her mother Jean Grey.

I'd prefer her to join with Cable but Excalibur would be fine.

I want her with Ellis, but I fear she won't return to Earth for a while. :(

It depends on who's writing Cable, but as long as it's someone who's good and respects Cable's continuity, I'd love for Rachel to join Cable.

Excalibur would might be okay, but it will probably still be very separate from the rest of the X-books.

While I want her back on Earth too, I feel Rachel could have great potential as a heroine on the cosmic side of the Marvel Universe. I prefer her on a team, though. And on Earth.

**jarrod** · 09-13-2007, 10:01 AM

I want her going to Ellis (Astonishing), Carey (hopefully Cable) or Cornell (Excalibur). She'd fit fine with any of them in terms of concept and cast.
