Uncanny X-Men 486 Spoilers

If you don't want to know what happens in UXM 486, don't read this. (Spoilers, obviously):

- Vulcan kills Corsair and remains Shi'Ar Emperor
- Rachel does very little in the issue
- Alex becomes the new leader of the Starjammers
- Rachel, Korvus and Lorna join the Starjammers
- The Starjammers' mission is to avenge Corsair's death and restore Lilandra to
the throne.
- Since they aren't X-Men any longer, they are free to kill Vulcan.

Updated to add more details:

- The team becomes split-up when Lilandra tries to get Xavier away from Vulcan and Alex, Lorna, Rachel and Korvus are all left behind.
- They're stuck in space, but send a message back to Xavier and Beast that they're going to stay and fight Vulcan.
- The team that returns to Earth consists of: Xavier (repowered), Nightcrawler, Warpath, Darwin, and Hepzibah

If you recall from the X-Panel at Wizard World Los Angeles in March, Ed Brubaker and Marvel marketing exec Jim McCann said there are no plans for a Starjammers series, but there might be if there is enough demand. We aren't falling for their trap. Just Say No to the Starjammers!

Mike Carey said he wanted to do a Rachel & Cable reunion! Rather than Rachel rotting in space, Carey should get Rachel in Adjectiveless X-Men!!!


The Bring Rachel Home campaign has been launched!!
