Here's hoping that Betsy gets a part of the spotlight this time.
Seriously, I hope Ares and Psylocke battle though (considering the 513 variant). It just has to happen sometime.

Betsy and Kurt, two of my favorite x-men, going to fight together... I LOVE IT!! I would only love it more if Betsy were already wearing her new outfit instead of the old ninja suit, but eh... we can't have everything, can we?

It's cool seeing Rogue and Gambit back as well (Danger could be forgotten, but oh well...). Scott is a real jerk to them, though.

wow! Dander's good i'm really starting to like her xD

Yeah I really like Danger too I think she could be a really interesting long term character for the X-men. Cant wait to see her run into Armour again...

Wonder where Betsy and Kurt are off too?

Really great seeing Betsy back where she belongs, its been far far far too long.

As epic as Psylocke vs. Ares would be, I was really hoping for a fight with Emma!

Betsy has always been at home with the X-Men. I'm glad she is back, too.

Uncanny just got better with the re-introduction of Betsy to the team :)

Psylocke fighting Emma would be like heaven to me. Finally the one chance Emma is on the bad side for the first time in years and Psylocke actually has the chance to kick her ass. Emma's got the better telepathy but Psylocke has the fighting skills. Alhtough Fractin always writes Emma like she's a body builder now that she has diamond form.

I would love for Betsy to switch books, I loathe Uncanny and wish I wasn't subscribed anymore.

Selene said...

Aye,Psylocke would fit more in a book like X-Men:Legacy and certainly not in a book in which Fraction's Fantastic 4 appear(Emma,Cyclops,Pixie and Wolverine).I'm kind of disappointed,however,Rogue and Betsy are supposed to be friends,why didn't they just say hello to each other? :-( And,yes,Cyclops needs to shut it.Is Rogue to blame for the fact that he and the rest of the X-Men neglected her in Messiah Complex?Love how Remy snapped at him.And I agree,Danger has been a far more interesting character since issue #224.

Thankfully Wolverine isnt in SanFran, yet...

Are Rogue and Psylocke friends anymore? seems weird she gave her life for her and they havent had a single scene since.

Used to love Rogue now cant stand her for the longest time. She always seems so self absorbed and angst ridden. Plus her and Remy is dull dull dull.

It is good to see, Rogue, Gambit, Beast and Psylocke fighting together again! It reminds me of the glory days of the X-Men Blue team.

I wonder if Rogue saw Besty when she arrived on the roof since they both teleported at pretty much the same time? She's going to be freaked when she sees her back from the dead. Freaked happy that is. I hope we get to see the two of them interact in this story!

FSaker said...

I think Rogue has already seen Psylocke after she came back from the dead. Betsy stayed with the X-Men for some time after she was revived and before she was recruited to join the Exiles, and back then Rogue was in the X-Men as well. If I'm not mistaken, Betsy even attended the X-Men reunion to decide if Mystique should join the X-Men or not, when Rogue was clearly voting against Mystique's inclusion.

Maybe she was happy that Betsy was alive again but then maybe Betsy voted in favor of Mystique joining the X-Men and that pissed off Rogue... Or, most likely, they're still friends and just didn't have the opportunity to see each other due to the almost simultaneous teleports.
