January 5, 2022Only read the Rachel parts so I don’t know the exact reason why she was badly hurt and exhausted.
Rachel felt someone call her and meets a mysterious lady who welcomes her to… the Body Shoppe.
Turns out the ‘mysterious’ lady is Spiral and she successfully tricked Rachel into giving up her life…

The Hellfire Club and Uncanny-Xmen face Nimrod.Always thought as a kid that Nimrod was a joke but boy was i wrong.Just ask Nightcrawler.

Leland here kind of exemplifies how many of the X-Men villains can, and often will, do the right thing given certain circumstances. The opportunity to be a good guy, denied by whatever led them on their dark path. I loved the Spiral stuff, with the Body Shoppe, that’s the creepier, scarier side of Mojo/Spiral stuff.
