In X-Men/Spider-Man #4, on sale this week, the series come to an end as the X-Men and Spider-Man team up to take on Kraven the Hunter. As Peter Parker remembers all the times they've fought together through some flashback panels, Psylocke appears in one of them, as part of the 90s X-Men team along Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine and Beast, despite not being on previews issues of this series. X-Men/Spider-Man was written by Christos Gage and drawn by Mario Alberti. Click on the right for the whole image.Will the whole story be told in the past? And do the events of the miniseries have implications in the present?
The first issue occurs in the Silver Age. Issue #2 happens right after “Kraven’s Last Hunt,” towards the end of the “Mutant Massacre.” Issue #3 is set during the Clone Saga/Wolverine with bone-claws era, with Ben Reilly active as Spider-Man. And our final issue will take place more or less in the present, but before the X-Men moved to San Francisco.
The events will definitely have implications for the present, but not in a “retcon” kind of way, like revealing that Uncle Ben was really Wolverine’s brother or anything like that.
As we all know Betsy joined the X-Men during the Mutant Massacre event. Let's hope Psylocke is part of this story in all her pinky and British glory. :D Issue #2 is in stores on December 10.
“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.
