"Wolverine: Weapon X" writer, Jason Aaron,
confirmed Psylocke's appearance in the book during the next arc (drawn by Yanick Paquette), which begins with issue #6, on sale in October! Check it out:
Jason Aaron: "WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #5 is out today, which wraps up the first arc with explosions and sharks, and of course more laser claws and stabbity stab stab. There are big plans afoot for the ole Canucklehead, and this arc was just the beginning, laying the groundwork for what I hope will be the next few years worth of Wolverine stories. My first job in comics came in the pages of WOLVERINE, so me and the hairy little bastard go way back. I've written him several times over the last few years, from "Get Mystique" and "The Man In The Pit" to a kung fu mini-series and a barroom team-up with Spider-Man. And I've still got plenty of stories left to tell. In the book's second arc, kicking off in issue #6, look for guest appearances by Nightcrawler and Psylocke, as well as the introduction of crazy new villains like Dr. Rot, Nurse Fester, The Biter, Charlie Chainsaws and an oddball pair named Helter and Skelter. After that, make way for Captain America and the return of a certain killer cyborg from the future. And don't forget The Thing. I'm dying to do the story with Wolvie and The Thing. And beyond that... well, then things are gonna get REALLY crazy. You've been warned."Wolverine: Weapon X #6

“Insane In The Brain” Part 1 (of 4) Welcome to Dunwich Sanatorium, where the only people weirder than the patients are the doctors in charge.

The good Dr. Rot knows everything there is to know about the human brain. Including how to remove it...

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)
Terry Dodson has given an interview to
Things From Another World. He agrees with us that Psylocke needs a new costume. Let's hope he can convince editors to go along with it.
TFAW.com: If you could radically change the look of any of the characters, who would it be, what would you do, and why?
Terry Dodson: I would like to do something different with Emma–draw her with a white version of her black Dark X-Men costume. I think Dazzler could use some more tweaks. Gambit is probably ready for an update and Psylocke, as well! I’m perpetually tweaking the costumes on the characters–usually very minor things, but always trying to improve or understand them better.
TFAW.com: Can you give us a hint of what’s to come with Uncanny X-Men? Are there any pages/issues you’re particularly excited about?
Terry Dodson: I will be working on the middle of the Nation X arc, issues #518 and #519–where we find out more about that Void Sliver that Emma receives at the end of the Utopia arc, plus more Magneto.
As some of you may already know, "Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Exodus #1" has a 7-page preview of Necrosha! Not really Psylocke-related, but it's so good I wanted to share with you guys too! The Necrosha one-shot will go on sale on October 21.
Necrosha One-Shot
Spoilers: She was born after the oceans swallowed Atlantis and before the rise of the sons of the Aryans. Her mother was the first to sacrifice her life to insure her survival, but she wouldn't be the last. They recognized her for what she was and they also gave her the name of a goddess. And now, 17 thousand years later, she is decided to become the deity she was always destined to be. She is Selene, the Black Queen. By her side, Kevin Ford/Wither, Clarice Fergunson/Blink, Suvik Senyaka/Senyaka, Lois London/Mortis and Eliphas/Eli Bard. Whoever impends her ascension to goodhood will suffer. The first target? Utopia.
Dark Reign: The List - X-Men
It turns out that "Dark Reign: The List - Avengers #1", also on sale this week, has a preview included too! Unlettered art of "Dark Reign: The List - X-Men #1", which will be released on September 23. Guess what? Psylocke is featured! Drawn by Alan Davis again. How cool is that? If you've read Exodus, some people are speculating that Emma Frost may be stuck in her diamond form, which prevents her from using her TP. That would make Betsy the #1 Telepath of the X-Men! Enjoy the art.
Utopia • Chapter 6
Spoilers: 7 days ago, Beast confronts Scott and Emma about the secrets both have been keeping. Now at the Utopia island, Osborn orders his Dark Avengers and Dark X-Men to attack the X-Men, and many battles are ensued. Colossus takes on Venom. Nekra, Bling! and Frenzy get their revenge on Moonstone. Psylocke and the X-Club beat Dark Beast. Iceman and the kids ambush the Mimic. X-23, Pixie and Armor fight Daken. Wolverine stabs Weapon Omega. Namor tries to stop the Sentry, but it's useless. Emma reaches Xavier and asks for his help so she can enter the Sentry's mind and lobotomize him. Emma succeeds and holds the Void inside his mind, so the Sentry can be himself again and take control. Horrified by his actions, the Sentry flees to outer space. As soon as Ares arrives, Dani Moonstar returns as a Valkyrie to stop him. Dani easily overcomes Ares and brings him down to his knees. While Osborn is busy fighting with Cyclops, Moonstone tells him there are too many mutants and that the only way to win is by killing them all, which they can't as there are cameras all around. With nothing left to do, Osborn decides to leave the island with his Avengers and X-Men. The X-Men celebrate their victory, as Cyclops gives a press conference telling the world that their island is sacred and no mutant will be harmed there. They're free. Back to the USA, Osborn too gives a press conference celebrating his victory for as long as the mutants remain on that island, no American citzen will have to worry about them anymore. Moments later, mutants from all around the world arrive at Utopia and start building their new home.
Notes: Psylocke only appears in what you all have already seen. Stabbing Dark Beast and one more little panel at the end of the issue. She has no lines too. So there's no need to post scans. But don't worry, there's some good stuff I'll post tomorrow!
