Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on your troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
They gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together and if the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bow
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Artist Alex Garner has showed some of the process for the "Sword of The Braddocks" one-shot cover over
Deviantart. Here are his comments about it and the final cover without any tags:
"Just thought I'd show some of the process for this cover. I begin with the traditionally done pencil sketch submitted to Marvel for approval, then I work on the values and lighting in grayscale, and finally I add color and texture. In this particular case, with just a single character close-up, it wasn't very painstaking. I adjust and tweak the structure as I paint. If you have the luxury of time, you can assess flaws much more objectively by setting the work aside and not looking at it for a few days."
Spoilers: Cat and Mystiq merge bodies to take on Madame Hydra. Meanwhile Lilandra proves herself to be a better fighter than Morph. Nerimani comes to rescue him and fight her sister. Not so far away Rogue surprises Samantha Summers from the Death Commandos and kill her. Rogue reveals to Colyn (a Son of Iron Saurion) that her hands absorb other's abilities and memories, bits of their souls, a portion of it stays with her forever. Colyn offers Rogue his armor to protect her and they flirt. Nerimani passes out, so Gambit takes on Lilandra. Cat leaves Mystiq's body and phases trough Madame Hydra removing her main artery and killing her.
Note: No Psylocke in this issue, so no scans.
X-Men: Sword of the BraddocksWritten by: Chris Claremont
Penciled by: Scott Clark
Cover by: Alex Garner
Before she can come home to the X-Men, Betsy Braddock has one final mission — settle the score once and for all with the man who’s been hunting her across the multiverse. If she hopes to survive, Psylocke’s going to have to use every weapon at her disposal -- and possibly cross a line no X-Man ever has before…
Note: It's here! Finally after all those months full of rumours and speculations Psylocke's return to the X-Men and Marvel Universe begins with this one-shot on sale in March! And the best thing about it is that it's 40 pages! According to the solicit, this is probably the last chapter of the Slaymaster saga and probably the last Claremont-written Psylocke story for a while. As for the coming months, let's keep and eye out for Uncanny X-Men. ;)
Hello everyone, this is the last post of 2008! This past year we have seen Psylocke stuck in New Exiles, which was a let down for most of her fans. She had her moments there, but this book didn't suit Betsy at all. As you all know the Exiles era is coming to an end after 2 years and one month. 2009 is shaping up to be a great year for Betsy and for us all. For instance, March sees the release of the first Psylocke solo one-shot 33 years after her creation! We have a lot to celebrate next year! I want to thank the guys at the CBR forums: CmX, metalgorgomon, psycwave, cgar, Tazirai, jarrod, Novaya Havoc, Hi-Fi and everybody else who posts there and support Psylocke (or not) lol. And of course I want to thank everybody who reads this blog too! I hope we all have an excellent year! You rock! xD
