Nice recap! But what about X-Men: Apocalypse?

Rahsaan said...

Justin, have no fear... I'll provide the recap for the film...
Psylocke looks shifty-eyed, barely talks, manifests her psychic knife across Pox's threat, chokes the shit out of the Beast with her psychic whip after somersaulting and slicing a car that he threw at her in half with her psychic katana. She then slinks off from everyone looking more shifty-eyes than ever.

@Justin, the recap only covers her comic book appearance

Justin Messina said...

Haha Rahsaan. Are you Tazirai on CBR?

Very happy for the recap of Psylocke. She was many highlights in 2016, well deserved highlights. The author of this blog is really the biggest fan of Psylocke nowadays.

Not her busiest year, but not a bad year for her, either. Bunn did a good job with her, and the X-Men'92 Psylocke had her share of good moments.

I hope she won't disappear this year, after IvX is over.
