Nah. Kurt and Amanda died when soldiers blew up the Mansion. Rachel was one of the few survivors.

Actually the both of you are kind of right. Due to the Phoenix Force's futzing with her memories she did "remember" killing Kurt dispite what actually happened. Or D'spare caused it, I'd check the issues if I knew where they were. The point is that she did have a false memory of that happening at one time.

My entire Excalibur run is sitting right behind me. I should check.
Either way, there's angst, I'm sure.
Because she's an X-Man. =)

the issue where they kill the dire wraiths at forge's and rachel freaks out later when she overhears that jean grey is dead.

I'm liking Betsy's budding relationship to X-23. I'm glad she's back. I'm curious what they're doing with Jamie Braddock -but Claremont is back in his bad habit of having plots on the backburners for months or years.

I kind of liked this issue. I usually enjoy what stories I've read that are set in the Savage Land-- I tend to like Marvels' fictional settings like SL or Attilan or Wakanda.
For the first time, I took Brainchild seriously. He makes a fun opponent. Does Vertigo *ever* speak?
The whole dino-Rachel thing is kind of interesting, but at the same time quite annoying. Maybe she'll keep some aspect of the transformation once the whole shebang's over?
I like the way Psylocke's written so far. You can tell she's a favorite of Claremont. Though I *still* can't quite get over the body-switch thing from years and years ago...
I don't like Bishop's dialogue for some reason. Something about it just doesn't ring true.
I've read somewhere on the board that Cannonball and Magma are going to be featured in this X-title sometime soon. Hopefully, that won't be only in a pretend reality from HOUSE OF M. With any luck they'll be taking the place of X-23... who ain't doing a thing for me.

Those were great cartoons. My favorite part was Emma and Jean's confrontation. Now that's what I'd like to see in the comic. A good old fashioned (Dynasty -Alexis and Crystal) cat-fight.

...in keeping with the title of this thread, Juggernaut and Nocturne make their return, joining Psylocke on the comeback squad. The other recent X-prodigal, Colossus guest stars here, too.
The reunion scenes were welcome, if somewhat curiously timed. If I were more of a Rachel fan, I'd be more excited about her extensive POV scenes.
In fact, Rachel, Bishop and X-23 bore me. Storm, Nightcrawler and Sage getting more emphasis would make me happier.
Ah, well-- with rumored post HOUSE OF ME membership shake-ups, it's all moot.
