“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.

Damn, the art and coloring look real good.
Ngl loving the preview
This actually looks like it might be far better than Excalibur was. Granted, it definitely is lifting heavily from DOFP, but dare we hope the eldritch twist add something unexpected, like the Siege Perilous?! I most certainly was pleasantly surprised to see that portal pop up again.
You know they're aware of how irrelevant Betsy and this book is to the X-line when they have to come out and say crap like "Don’t miss this essential piece of the new Krakoa!"
Duh. Every new #1 book is solicited like that. This is called marketing.
I want to know if it's finally confirmed that this is a 5 numbers mini.
I can't take another whole year of Betsy written under Tini's hand.
I wish it will end with Betsy crossing the siege perilous and being Psylocke again.
CB is not her shit, I'm sorry.
I saw this review for those interested.
