It was exciting to see the team of only X-Women again! Also to see Psylocke front and centre.
But then you realize that this is only one issue focused on finding Wolverine, and now they seem to have added Kitty as the leader...again.
Storm and Psylocke aren't receiving the spotlight they deserve.

Any thoughts on Mystique's role in Astonishing??
Why was she pretending to be Beast in the first arc?
What is she up to in this new one??

@Unknown The X-men never give Psylocke the credit or attention she deserves. I'm so tired of her being pushed to the back ground and having no dialogue.

@Eduardo I think Mystique was pretending to be Beast maybe to get close to Psylocke because they have that vendetta going on still since that Uncanny X-men (Magneto) team.

Why is it that this new generation of comic book artists cannot draw Psylocke as an Asian woman?
