Breaking Into Comics the Marvel Way #2 CoverNewsarama: In early 2010 Marvel will debut two-issue series called Breaking Into Comics the Marvel Way, a showcase that will not only spotlight a group of up-and-coming “breakout” artists, but also serve as a resource book giving tools, instruction, and advice to aspiring creators looking to become the future generation of Marvel “Young Guns”.
Each of the two 56-page issues will feature 6 brand new 8-page stories written by Marvel stars like Brian Bendis, Peter David, Mike Carey, Jonathan Hickman, and Marc Guggenheim, illustrated by one of the “Breakout” artists found during “ChesterQuest”, along with insider commentary from Cebulski on how the featured artists got their work seen and how they landed a Marvel gig, as well as comprehensive submissions information and a sample Marvel script.
Newsarama: Can you mention some of them specifically? Some details on the characters/stories we mean.Jordan D. White: We've got an untold tale of the New Avengers from Brian Bendis. A new Peter David Hulk story. Mike Carey takes us into the history of Psylocke for a look at her past and powers.
“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.

Please,tell me you're as excited about this as I am! :-D I mean,Carey finally gets the opportunity to write Psylocke...!
P.S.:Oh,Jesus,are those flashback pages of the dinosaur/Rachel story-arc of Uncanny X-Men?*shudders*
I ADORE this since I totally want to one day write comic books.
But I have to say...the top image looks like all the girls have pink eye.
The top image looks like they're drunk, stoned or have hay fever.
I like the Katana and the way Betsy is depicted here. Her eyes are my only complaint :(
...It´s a beautiful image in a sick, weird, freaky, way lol
but I feel like they´re to many x-girls so why not put Emma instead of Sue ? because she seems out of place among the x-girls.
@Selene - Yup, that's the battle in Savage Land that happened the last time the X-Men visited there, when Rachel became R'chell (LOL, poor Rachel, that abomination of a story will always stain her past).
Carey writing Psylocke is awesome news, but since the description says he'll "take us into the history of Psylocke", I hope that means the story won't be limited to the Savage Land battle, although it will be quite hard to show a lot of places and times in 8 pages (specially considering this illustration will most likely occupy 2 pages).
BTW, CBR posted today the preview pages for next week's comics. Good news: she gets good panel time (and more than one line!) in Carey's X-Men Legacy. Bad news: remember those UXM #519 preview pages that IGN showed in Fraction's interview this week? Well, guess what - Betsy gets ONE LINE in it, where basically Emma gives her the same order than Scott had given her before, and Betsy just replies "As you wish"... lame.
@Fsaker - Hi. Carey is certainly well equipped to write Psylocke. Psylocke's come far in the past years, but she has much more potential. Yes, that's a lame line in UXM 519.
Best,

@Mr. Hellfire - Hi. I definitely think you would make a good comic book writer.
i think since the R'chell story didn't explore Psylocke's feelings about being headblind, and also she was suddenly more powerful than phoenix for the first time ever at that time; maybe Carey is going to tell us what Betsy was going through internally, since it "explores her past and powers."
that's just what it seems like to me...also i loved that story!!!! get storm and rachel out of the way and psylocke was the star. awesome.
