UTOPIA TIE-IN
Rogue, Gambit and Danger go to join the X-Men in San Francisco, only to find it in flames. The Dark Avengers have come into town and are taking no prisoners. Wait, the whole problem is that they ARE taking prisoners. Norman Osborn has the city of San Francisco in the palm of his hands and mutants are being forced to take sides. Will they side with Cyclops and the X-Men? Or go to Osborn and his Dark X-Men? What side will the returning mutants and one of the X-Men’s most powerful foes take? Part 1 (of 2).
I'm hoping this gives Mike Carey the opportunity to finally write Psylocke!

“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

Yay, TWO chances for Betsy to appear in comics in July!
I think it's pretty sure to assume she WILL take part on the Uncanny X-Men/Dark Avengers crossover, so my expectations are that she plays a nice part in it, instead of just sitting in the kitchen eating a cereal bowl.
But I truly hope she also appears in X-Men Legacy! I definitely wanna see how Carey would write her as a character...
If Emma Frost is leading the Dark team that means there's room for a telepahth on Uncanny's team! Hopefully British Betsy will be that person!
"I have a Dream. I have a Dream that Emma Frost will be kicked out of the X-Men so fast, that she wont even now what hit her, and that Betsy will take her place as the teams psi!" ;-)
The Emma's-out-Betsy's-in goes quite well with what Fraction said:
...she (Psylocke) provided stuff that no one else on the team had in terms of character, power set...
Power set? That no one else on the team has? Unless they ment the TK, I would say it almost given that Betsy will have her TP back! ;-)
LOL, i tjought the same, that with Emma leading the Dark X-Men, the X-Men would need a telepath and since there is no one else on the team who is one, Betsy would have to fill thet role.
we still do not know if Betsy will have her telepathy back...i'm hoping that will go in addition to her current powerset...by the way it sounds great, dark reign is catching me in even more than the skrull invasion
Betsy becoming the team's main (or only) telepath is a nice idea, indeed - but only if by the end of the Utopia crossover Cyclops is kicked off the X-Men for his little dark secrets...
But even if Emma leaves, there is the possibility of Jean returning, as the UXM #511 cover hints. Although I feel Jean nowadays would fit better with one of the Avengers team or in space adventures with Rachel and the Starjammers than with the X-Men; she doesn't seem to fit with the "endangered species/prejudice" theme anymore...
I have to say that I would really like to see Psylocke on the opposite team from Emma.
However it looks like the Dark X-men have Prof X, and Emma has not only herself, but the cuckoos so that would kind of tip the scales to that corner, unless of course Psylock retains her immunity to telepathy.
I wonder if they will make her blonde if she stays in the British body.
Thanks, CmX! You're the best <3 I've added Dark Avengers and this Handbook that features Psylocke to the solicits list.
If Psylocke isn't featured in any of those "Utopia" books, I'll be very pissed!
well i know psylocke will be on the science team in 512 (ugh) so hopefully she'll return to the uncanny team. science team is so boring. also, i want rouge and gambit back on the uncanny team and for them to get rid of the boring newbies like Armor and Pixie.
I agree, can she stay in the same time and earth continuity for more than a couple of issues? She was out of the fray for all the cross over stuff when she was in exiles, and now more cross over stuff is happening and she goes back in time!
Yes, let's hope she doesn't stay stuck in the past and is able to come back to the present in time to kick the Dark Avengers' and the Dark X-Men's asses (except for Xavier, I like him as a character and would like to see Betsy and him teaming up for once).
And BTW, this handbook cover looks great! And it's nice to see her in her New Exiles outfit (she could actually keep it in Earth-616 adding just a belt with a "X" symbol, regardless of which body she'll have)! I hope she gets at least one full page in it...
