Thanks for the recap. This was kinda boring for Betsy... I miss 2012. *sigh*

Amazing retrospective; congratulations!!

Psylocke had quite a busy year (even if many of these appearances are small cameos). Hopefully she'll still be around after X-Force's cancellation.

One thing, though: Hickman had THREE Psylockes dying in New Avengers?? THREE?? I was hoping that he would use Psylocke in this year's Secret Wars event, but now I'm thinking maybe she should be far from his scripts for this event... well, at least 616-Psylocke. If he wishes to use House of M Psylocke, '90s X-Men Psylocke, AoA-Psylocke and AvX-Psylocke (although she's exactly the same as 616-Psylocke, so what's the point?) - and kill them -, that's okay to me (just please don't make them suffer).

FSaker said...

By the way, Ultimate Kitty included Ultimate Psylocke in her thoughts? I thought the two of them never met (Ultimate Betsy helped the X-Men and "died" before Ultimate Kitty joined the team; when Ultimate Psylocke joined the X-Men, Ultimate Kitty had already left)... unless they chatted off-panel in the Apocalypse arc (when both girls were mind controlled by him, even though they weren't close to each other when it happened).

Nice catch, FSaker. haha Tbh, I think Hickmann has a soft spot for Betsy, he's alwaying including a cameo or throwing a mention like in Avengers #37
