LBFA Presents: The History of Rachel Summers Explained [Comic]
In today's original comic, writer Curt Franklin and artist Chris Haley of the inimitable superhero webcomic "Let's Be Friends Again" sit down to do their best Wikipedia impression and explain the convoluted history of a notable comics character in a segment we call Comics, Everybody! Today's test subject: Rachel Summers, a.k.a. Phoenix II, a.k.a. Marvel GIrl.

And this is why I don't even attempt to read the X-books. This is *one character*.

And THIS is exactly the kind of thing that scared me away from reading mainstream comics as a little kid. I saw stuff like that and I just freaking bolted.

Great work. This is the kind of stuff I want to point out when people criticise super-hero films for not staying faithful to the original comics.
