“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.

Picked this up before school and the ending left me in a wow all day. Best issue of the arc imo. I had a feeling Jamie was actually the goat or just somehow behind the whole thing. I just found suddenly benevolent Jamie, even if by mystical means, too much to wrap my head around.
Great issue, the art seriously needed to be more detailed to really get a better sense of the urgency of everything that occurred. I did like seeing Psylocke finally interact with her brothers though.
Astonishing and surprising!!
Betsy goes deeper and deeper, whoa!! Totally not an easy choice...
Isn't Brian supposed to be immune to Betsy's powers because they're siblings? (ala Scott and Havoc)
Great ending twist, tho.
Toffnut,
Yes. It's canon that he is! That's a no-prize. As much as I love Remender, shame on him for that and for not directly addressing whether or not Betsy accepted Jamie's offer after bringing up her proper body again! (God knows you can't tell from the art which she chose as she never looks Asian.)
I hate fake-outs. And never though rick would do that to us. LOL.
And the immunity... that surprised me too, because Rick Remender is usually spot-on in keeping with continuity.
Maybe Betsy's recent telepathic boost allowed her to do it?
Maybe Brian can "allow" her tp to work on him? If he was 100% immune then she wouldn't even be able to talk to him via tp...
Wow ..thats all I could say after reading this..i totally feel for betsy though ..within maybe the last two weeks she has lost two people who are important her in which she was the one who killed them..thats tough.
Psylocke has used her powers on Jamie on multiple occasions (and vice-versa). So continuity with the sibling thing must not apply to the Braddocks or something. 0_o

I always thought immune meant that she couldn't psyblade Brian. They've always had a bond and could communicate, I don't see how taking control of his body would be that much of a stretch.
And I think she is still in the Asian body. I've got that from Tocchini's work all along, look how he draws her eyes.
It could also be that Brian let her because he didn't want to kill Jamie himself.
+Enhanced telepathy. =x
