Rachel in Claremont's New X-Babes

Chris Claremont revealed in a recent interview that Rachel will be part of his upcoming new project called X-Babes (Yes, "babes" and not "babies". Luckily, this isn't the final title and I'm praying it changes before it is released.)

Here's what Mr. Claremont had to say about the project:

I have the very great privilege of working with the amazing Italian artist, Milo Manara, on a very special X-Men project, featuring Storm, Kitty, Sage, Rogue, Psylocke, Rachel, & Emma Frost. Yes, all women! The title is still being worked out, but the in-house title is X-Babes. For those of you who know Manara's work – and if you're an adult you should check him out – this is everything you would imagine. This is the first time this preeminent European artist has ever done superheroes, and he's having so much fun! First publication is in Italy, in time for Lucca. Look to the publisher's web site: Panini, as well as a cover story in the Italian magazine La Rebulica this September, for a first look. Marvel will publish in the US next year.
