OUT TODAY! X-MEN OUTBACK #3! VERY proud of this issue! In some ways, one I've waited over 40 years to write--about family legacy, about belief in your potential, about the risk and might of friendship...and about kicking the shit out of necromancers. ДАВАЙ!

I am not against Quicksilver/Monet, but I can't lie I will be very frustrated if they get to stay together but Rachel and Betsy have to break up... because they get to be lovey dovey with significantly less build up and no one cares. I have to listen to people claiming Retsy went too fast. BS.

I love the Jorge Jimenez series of couple covers for DC and wondered what a Rachel Summers/Betsy Braddock version would look like. What do you think? 🦋🔥

@chrisyost.bsky.social I gotta ask: how do you feel about the X-Men's Lesbian Space Jesus? Because I see her lady, and I see flowers in her lady's hair...?

It's tragic that we never got to see these "recent events" that lead Betsy to decide that going out to save the world wasn't worth the risk. Did what happened to that town remind her of Archangel? Was she afraid she was going to fail Rachel the way she failed Warren? #X-Force

Since it's Pride Month, I feel like sharing my favorite queer comic book couple. Betsy Braddock and Rachel Summers. Do you have a favorite queer comic book couple?

You can tell @thesteveorlando.bsky.social understands Betsy Braddock because he writes her pouting over a cocktail in front of a pretty red-head and a Summers.

I had hesitation going into Psylocke but it has a lot to add to Betsy and Elektra and I appreciate that. I wish their strong friendship carried into the present. Also it was interesting to revisit this time with fuller knowledge of Betsy as a queer person who struggled with an eating disorder.

I... kind of think doing hard time in the retail service industry should be a pre-req for any kind of public service position. I'm not even kidding.

Apparently Catholicism is making a comeback in Britain. It is also the 50th anniversary of Marvel's Captains Britain, the Catholic-guilt personified fairy twins. One of whom is also a purple haired queer lady. Coincidence?! ....Yes, undoubtedly. 😄

Another of my favourite X-Men is Rachel Summers, no code name required, particularly from her Excalibur days. She was such a rough cookie! I remember her being all punk confidence. What do you think about Rachel? What’s your favourite take on her? #xmen #phoenix #rachelsummers #instagay #fanart

I really appreciate that @hackintimseeley.bsky.social combined Betsy's weird love of Summers with her love of women who wear red into a poignant scene in this issue of Psylocke Ninja. 😄 (If only there was a Summers girl who wore a lot of red... You'll find her one day, Bets!)

I hope that Betsy (allegedly) being in the Hellfire Murder one-shot means we're close to a Rachel/Betsy comeback era. It's been too long since October.

They are going to kill so many people between now and November. Elon gutting USAid will be peanuts in comparison. And Congress is overflowing with cowards and grifters. Too busying enjoying Palantir donations.

I keep seeing people complaining about how much inner dialogue "Psylocke: NInja" has as though that isn't the entire point of the book. To learn how the brainwashing affected and ultimately changed Betsy's mental state and character moving forward.

Jenn K. Tidwell @jktidwell.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

When Psylocke: Ninja sold out, people were making weird excuses like, "Well the stores didn't order a lot probably so of course it sold out," or, "Maybe they just didn't make a lot of the comics to begin with." It being in the Top 20 of comics last month kind of moots those points.

Rachel Summers ("Phoenix") & Betsy Braddock ("Captain Britain"). One of the best developments of Krakoa was having gay people in X-Men comics. Howard/To Excalibur will be remembered in a decade as an all timer MARK MY WORDS butch witch/femme knight?? in my x-men?? yes please.

"The book wouldn't have sold well if it was called 'Betsy Braddock'!" Yeah, no duh, and I imagine Psylocke V2 wouldn't have sold as well if it was called 'Kwannon', that's why they superheroes have superhero names!

Jenn K. Tidwell @jktidwell.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Question for you if I may, @hackintimseeley.bsky.social! I saw you mention Spiral won't be involved in the story but was wondering if this was kind of meant to be a wink and a nod (an IFYKY) moment for her involvement in the swap? That's how I read it at least.

Jenn K. Tidwell @jktidwell.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

There's been debate about whether or not the Braddocks are Catholics or Anglicans, as they are aristocracy but have been called Catholic on page... and I'm kind of wondering if "Bloody Bess," originally meant to be a Betsy variant, isn't also a reference to their Catholicism?

Now reading post Age of Apocalypse 90s Excalibur and I felt like trying the black Captain Britain costume on current Betsy Braddock. Super sleek, keeps some 90s Psylocke vibes while being true to the CB legacy.

I am obsessed with the idea of a Crimson Dawn miniseries exploring Bloody Bess's connection to Betsy and Kwannon, and how she would feel about Ray. We know what happens when people threaten Rachel, but how would Betsy react if the person hurting her was someone who shared a piece of Betsy's soul?

Jenn K. Tidwell @jktidwell.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

I was really hoping with all the OG Psylocke love we got in X-Force and also Puzzle Quest this year that Marvel knew we wanted THIS version revisited, if any. Maybe we'll get some references to it in Ninja?

Jenn K. Tidwell @jktidwell.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

October really spoiled me as a Rachel/Betsy shipper with that novel about how Ray is the love of B's life. I need them back. And I need their demi-god from the multiverse/fae of Otherworld dynamic more thoroughly explored.

weirdly, when you lay it out like that, there's a massive cosmic scifantasy story to tell here that I only just thought of right now. I have a whole other one in place but .... hmmm... yeah... and, yeah. they could be an iconic couple.

“And because, of all the infinite Betsy Braddocks in the Multiverse, there is only one Rachel Summers. How impossibly wondrous is it that she is the Betsy who gets to love her?” OMG. I fucking love this book.

Jenn K. Tidwell @jktidwell.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

So Geoffrey Thorne and Rebecca Podos took Tini Howard's concept of Rachel/Betsy as a couple and ran with it in two amazing stories and I wish they'd get the chance to do so again. These girls are soulmates.

a blue check on twitter posted a list of "straight x-men" he got off chatgpt that included Gambit, Rachel and Betsy and people proceeded to dunk on him for days... which meant people kept sharing pictures of Retsy kissing and that was fun for me specifically.
