“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.

I'm actually pretty excited for this. It's good to see Marrow back on an X team. I'm also loving Betsy's British accent. I feel like some writers forget about it.
The art looks amazing, and the way each character talks or thinks is how they should be. I agree that it's nice to see Betsy's British accent (although I hope it isn't overused, like Rogue's Southern accent - it was quite annoying to see her saying "Ah" and "sugah" every single time).
I hope this new book is better than both Humphries's UXF and Hopeless's Cable and X-Force. I doubt it will be better than Remender's UXF, but Remender's work was phenomenal, so it's okay to be below it.
Psylocke in a black ops team is really cool, and she did not interact much with Cable in the past. I want to see how her ideals affect his ones and where this is gonna lead them.
We have just read the end of Remender's run here in Brazil and the X-ladies here just started. I really hope that Betsy finally gets rid of the killing stuff. She had more than enough to learn that it is not worth it.
I loved how she kicked Shadow King's ass quite permantenly without killing him. There is always another way to not make her soul so bloody. She must be better than her enemies, otherwise she already saw what happens in the future. Which also leaves the question: as x-Force chose not to kill Evan, how did it affect the older Elizabeth future with Logan..........
