Sneak a Peek at the Uncanny X-Men #526 Backup Story

Marvel.com: Allan Heinberg and Olivier Coipel play in the x-sandbox! If the fallout from "Second Coming" wasn't enough to make you buy Uncanny X-Men #526, then how about a bonus story by two of the best talents in the industry? Allan Heinberg may be the busiest man in the world, splitting his time between television ("Grey's Anatomy") and comics (Avengers: Children's Crusade, Young Avengers) but he couldn't pass up an opportunity to write Cyclops, Magneto and Wolverine.

What does Magneto learn that sends him down a path that the rest of the world would rather he just stay away? And what does it mean to his relationship with the X-Men? Oh, and did we mention that the artist of Marvel's Siege event was drawing it? Olivier Coipel's first sequential work since illustrating the Sentry's death and the new formation of the Avengers is in Uncanny #526. Don't miss it!

I see a nice glimpse of Betsy in the first pane.

She's in the third page as well!

Heimberg may take a long time to write, but he's a great writer! And Coipel is AWESOME!!

Do you all think she'll actually be part of this story or she'll just be collecting rubble in the beginning while Magneto takes off and that's it? I think Psylocke would get along well with the Young Avengers, as well as Ms. Marvel, so it would be nice to see her sharing panels with them (plus, it wouldn't hurt to see her actually interacting with the broader Marvel universe outside the X-Men bubble).

I think she will be just in these pages, seeing as it is a Magneto story. But it's better than nothing haha :p

Those are just small glimpses but Betsy looks great in them.

She looks awesome. I love that she actually uses her powers again lately, instead of being stuck as just a ninja for so long.
Badass.
