X-Men Legacy: Psylocke and Rogue head to Muir Island!

Superpouvoir.com has the missing X-Men Legacy #231 solicit for December. The solicit from earlier today is for issue #230, the final one from the Emplate arc. The cover with Psylocke is actually for issue #231, which will also be released in December. It's Necrosha! And Psylocke has an important mission!

X-Men: Legacy #231
Written by: Mike Carey
Pencils by: Clay Mann
Cover by: Adi Granov
“Necrosha”
The Necrosha event hits X-Men: Legacy! Selene’s masterplan is clicking into place, but she got something she didn’t plan for when Destiny was brought back to life. A major X-Villain came back with Destiny and a who’s who of X-Men are sent to Muir Island to deal with them. Join Nightcrawler, Colossus, Psylocke, Rogue (if she makes it through #230 alive) and a new member (who’s so secret we can’t mention him here) as they dive into Necrosha. Part 1 (of 3)

Many of us may finally get what we were asking for: a greater role for Betsy in the X-book! I'm glad Colossus, Psylocke and Rogue will be together on the mission to Muir Island. It reminds me of the good old days from the late 80s, when all three aforementioned characters were on the same X team.

little bit of australia together again! :D

I wonder who the secret character is? please not Vargas. Doug Ramsey? guessing Revanche is a no go. Id love Destiny back permanently personally.

This is awesome news though oh my god the wait for comics currently is killing me!

I'm guessing the new X-man IS X-man.

I'm guessing the new X-man is Deadpool. There have been rumors that he'll join the X-Men.

Wow, I like it! Nightcrawler, Colossus, Psylocke and Rogue... great team! And Destiny being back to life (although as a technorganic zombie) was already predicted when Necrosha was first announced, but it's still surprising that she was already announced in a solicit.

As for the new member, you guys listed some good possibilities: Doug, Deadpool, Vargas (although he was killed in the Children of the Vault story arc, right?)... I have no idea of who this new member could be.

And also, a secret villain! Who could be accidently brought back to life with Destiny? Omega Red? Sabretooth? Cassandra Nova (in case she isn't Ernst as many readers assumed)? So many possibilities...

Anyway, this solicit shows that Carey has really paid attention to our requests to see Psylocke in X-Men Legacy! And the best part is that Carey is one of the few writers nowadays who can actually please fans and still write great stories with their ideas (most of the times, when a writer tries to please fans, the result tends to be a mediocre fanfiction-ish story)...

Psylocke looks so beautiful, I hope that we get some Betsy-Rogue dialogues in this issue.

Hey Lucky, are you going to do another metamorphosis soon? An Utopia one? Maybe you can use Betsy from the Legacy cover. ;)

centurion said...

Yes, I am the most excited about any possible Betsy and Rogue interaction!

Selene said...

Rogue and Psylocke as best friends...Psylocke gets to be written by Mike Carey...

Two dreams coming true!If only Sage joined the girls,too. :-(

centurion said...

@Selene - I would like Sage to be friends with Rogue and Psylocke. I think Claremont was trying to develop something similar to this in New Exiles.

centurion said...

I remember there were so many drawings of Rogue and Psylocke together in the early 1990s.

Silverbrock said...

Where is Sage? Dead in the Pancothewherever wall? Love the look of these covers, will be good winter for sure with all this going on for Psylocke. I actually like the mini series cover, better than the plastic face she has in the legacy cover. Buy hey, a cover is a cover, happy days.

Will be good to see Mystiques reaction to the love of her life Ms Destiny . . .

FSaker said...

Changing subjects a little bit, Uncanny X-Men #515 and Dark Reign - The List: X-Men were both released today, right?

Any news about them? Does Betsy appear in UXM #515? Does she appear in any more panels in The List than the ones already shown in previews?

centurion said...

@Fsaker - Hi. It will be a while before I get my issue via the Marvel subscription service. I will look online for any news regarding Betsy in UXM-515

Best,
