Lots of Rachel & X:EV News in X-Position

Comic Book Resources weekly X-book column, X-Position, this week features and interview with Ed Brubaker (and Nick Lowe helping) and many of the questions relate to Rachel and the upcoming X-Men: Emperor Vulcan. Here are some excerpts:

Ed, this next one might be difficult for you to answer at the moment, but I'll give SGuthrie the opportunity to ask anyway because, hey, that's why we're here at X-Position! I know there are long-range plans involving Havok, Polaris, and Marvel Girl Emperor Vulcan, but are there any plans to bring at least one of them back to the fold during your run, or are you planning on keeping them with the Starjammers in space indefinitely? Or can you not answer this until that limited series is over?

Brubaker: Yeah, I can't really answer that. Ask Chris Yost, since he's writing Emperor Vulcan.

Chris isn't around, but Nick is still here with two more cents - we almost have a nickel!

Nick Lowe: Keep your eyes peeled for Emperor Vulcan to see what happens with those characters. Rest assured, they are some of my favorite characters in the whole world and Chris Yost is doing some awesome things with them.

We had several fans write in about the Cable and his "sis" Rachel. To cover our bases, I'm combining jarrod and Ashley Keller's emails to come up with the following query: "I'm just curious if Yost (or anyone) plans on dealing with Rachel's reaction to Cable's recent death. Given that Rachel forged a permanent mindlink with Nathan, she should've actually experienced his death. Will we see her go after those responsible for killing him"�

Brubaker: I don't know. I notice whenever anything happens in any X-book, someone wants to see some specific character react to it, and all I can say is, give it time. Patience is a virtue, supposedly .

We'll take your word on that. Hey, it seems as if rodyega might have a solution to that whole Endangered Species problem. "Couldn't Rachel undo M-day since she has been displaying powers she got from her 'Mom' She has chronokinetic powers, right? Couldn't she just change the past and prevent Wanda from ever saying, 'No more mutants'?�

Brubaker: Hold on, let me write this down...
