Cool I want it

Mixia said...

The cover looks nice, but when will Betsy finally get her purple hair back? I'm glad, Blink is not in this book.

Rahsaan said...

@Mixia, instead of all these Cap Brit questions, I wish folks would start asking Brevoort if the editors will begin correcting her hair color.

Edu said...

Improvement!! Nice!!

Rahsaan said...

Incorrect hair color aside, her high pony is cute.

X-Man said...

Not Dissasembled, but the outfit is definitely growing on me.

I wish the red parts were purple though.

The hair definitely needs to be more purple, but very refreshing to see Betsy with edge and warrior like qualities again.

Would have loved to see the Butterfly here.

Incidentally do we have a link to ask questions of this new writer?

I'm sure a lot of us here would have some very interesting and relevant inquiries.

XMan he posts on the CBR forums I'm guessing there's an ask me thread somewhere in the XMen forum. Hope this helps

Kiki M. Ishola said...

Sighs of relief Betsy peaks again. Wish the writing gets her out the Bikini Coward Muppet show Kettle pot of the last four years.

Kiki M. Ishola said...

Good luck with the butterfly coz the execs slap banged it on Revanche to make their statement again 🙄

Kiki M. Ishola said...

Rahsaan the pinkification of Betsy's head is done with malicious goals. Dare they paint Kwannon purple they kiss bye bye her Japan heritage. As we know artists struggling to make her look Asian faced so it'd be a white chick with purple hair all over again.

X-Man said...

Thank you @Randybear & @Kiki I think/hope that they learned their lesson trying to remove Butterfly from Betsy lol.

Also my initial impressions are that this writer seems to listen more to the fans (all of us, not just selective groups), so he prob is very aware there was a bad backlash when they tried to strip Butterfly effect from Betsy

@HOXOR: Kwannon has her own thread on CBR. Stop derailing Betsy's thread with talks of Kwannon's hair. It's not relevant to Betsy.

Nichelle said...

I da not talk in CBR but I sure do like looking at da threads and I tink sometimes you have to talk about Kwannon in her threads

Nichelle said...

In Betsys threads sometimes you have to talk about Kwannon

HOXOR said...

Kwannon's purple hair is not relevant to Betsy?!

Nichelle said...

Ignore da comment I don't like Kwannon that much but some Betsy fans go overboard with it

Kiki M. Ishola said...

Dat Cooties Lintsay

Kiki M. Ishola said...

Ha artists and colorists got their rude awakening. Betsy nation rules!

Kiki M. Ishola said...

@HOXOR pay no attention to trolls with multiple fake accounts. One person trying to ruin Betsy never stopped us. Purple hair is as much relevant to Betts as is her butterfly.

Nichelle said...

I da not understand y Some ppl don't allow fans ta complain about stuff as simple as hair color it just basic stuff LIKE

If Polaris all of a sudden went blond instead of green, the character would lose some of her visual identity, it would be harder to identify her as Polaris. If Captain America was drawn with a circle instead of a star in the middle of his shield, readers would go bonkers and I could go on. So Betsy hair color and butterfly are relevant, maybe more subtle than others but just as important in her identity. And she lost a lot of that to the other , which is annoying, but it seems like she is getting it back slowly, and probably because of some of the comments left on this site reminding the marvel creators of the subtle points of her character. It seems to me that now that Kwannon has lost the hand costume and purple hair (I think) , that character is gaining her own identity. Betsy has gotten her butterfly back, and daggers and it looks like some of her fierceness judging by this cover, lets hope that they will transfer the Psylocke name back at let Kwannon have her own code name. In fairness, Kwannon should have her own identity and not be a ghost of Betsy, its time for Betsy to be Psylocke again.

Comics are a visual as well as a written medium, so yeh, hair color matters. and that s*** is pink and shouldn't be.

But I like the direction this is going in other wise.

X-Man said...

Agreed @Banquo40.

I tried to register on that board to comment, but it said the administrator stopped registrations sadly.

HOXOR said...

@X-Man From what I saw... it is only available and you can only register on the first day of the month

X-Man said...

@Hoxor thank you. That odd, but at least month almost over. I'll have to try to remember lol.
