“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.

has anyone read this yet? Does she kill them through physical violence and the psychic knife or old school mass psychic attack on all their brains at once, the way Storm ordered her to do during the sewer fight with the Marauders during the Inferno event or like she did to magistrate prison guards the first time the X-Men visited Genosha? The latter would seem the most efficient.
This issue was completely unbelievable! The art was so beautifull, dynamic and gore! It is basically a Psylocke-centric story so I enjoyed it even more. She killed almost all the reavers. Pretty Boy psichaly, making him feel Warren´s pain and falling of a cliff....the others she did it phisically, choping his heads off with her sword! so cool! I love this book more and more!
On another note:
today I found the casting profile for the next Wolverine movie. Rumored to be a part are Mariko, her father Shingen, the Silver Samurai, Yukio and Viper. but look at these descriptions of the female characters:
-Female, JAPANESE. Early to late 20´s. Quintessential Beauty, very graceful and majestic. Lead Role.
-Female, EURASIAN. Early to late 20´s. Proficient Karate skills, amazing stature, well-spoken, sensual. Lead Role.
-Female, CAUCASIAN. Mid 20´s. Must speak both english and japanese. supporting role.
judging by the list they should be Mariko, Yukio and Viper, respectvally...BUT
with Psylocke popularity and boost at the moment it wouldn´t surprise me if they would change the Yukio partner, sexual tension role with Betsy. I mean, she´s as good as Ykio plus she has an amazing power set...plus...they discribe her EURASIAN it the role casting....Yukio is full time japanese...
what do you guys think?
Thanks! Pretty Boy is such a prick! I'm glad she offed him! I'll have to get this.
Such an awesome issue!
I got it last night, and loved it. The dialog and action were neat. I was not a fan of the art, but the rest more than compensated.
I like Rahsaan's point : that it would have been awesome if Psylocke unleashed full force telepathically. Unfortunately it seems she is, once again, being written as too ninja for her powers. Perhaps it would set her too apart from the others in the team if she was less physical in certain situations but what would be wrong with that?
It happened in the 90s, it's happening again. I did like the writing, but she can shut someone's mind off like a switch. Not to mention the TK that the writers of this series have apparently deleted from her powerset.
Although perhaps this is the vengeance she wanted to give them. I'll buy that excuse haha.
