...this scene always kinda bugged me. It didn't seem like Rachel to give up that easily, particularly when Emma trotted out that "you are not my equal" line. Damn right, she's better. Rachel did some pretty awesome stuff pre-Phoenix, including going toe to toe with Selene, who is much older and more expirenced than, well, everyone. She founded a rebellion/religious order in a dystopian future, managed to send Kitty/Kate's mind across time, and spent a fair amount of time defending England. People seem to forget that Rachel is more than just Jean Jr. On the other hand, it was a cool dissection of the relationship between the two of them and the art is really nice.
...I really do like Emma Frost. She is one of my favorite characters when she isn't butting heads with the Greys.
