“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 hate the costumes that Psylocke's team is wearing. Psylocke's looks like a raincoat lol
I wish at the least the yellow would be gone and they'd have their own respective colors.
Oh well, it's only five issues and an alternate reality ~_~
What about Apocalypse's book with Dazzler, Kitty and so on? Will it begin one month after the others?
Anyway, it's interesting that apparently the regular UXM book won't be put on hold during the Age of X-Man event. And Scott and Logan reassembling the X-Men... that could be nice (I do hope they apologize to each other and bury any hard feelings before doing so; their rivalry was unbearable, mainly on Logan's part).
And if they need to reassemble the X-Men, it seems Jean's leadership wasn't so good in the end.
@CmX, I like seeing her on what appears to be a leading role... but also not feeling the costume (raincoat vibe and that yellow stripe on the hoodie) nor this AoX-Man.
Pedro, Yeah other than the designs I really like seeing Psylocke on an X-Force type of team again.
That still looks like Asian Psylocke/Kwannon to me.
I’m not quite sure that I can tell with the hood on.
It's hard to tell from just an image (and where her face is partially covered with a hood).
That said, it's not impossible this could be Asian Psylocke. And it wouldn't really be a big deal, since this is just an alternate reality. It's like when Betsy was caucasian in Mike Carey's Age of X despite being in the Asian body in the real reality, or when she was defined as mixed in the House of M reality (she was British with Japanese ancestors).

You know, speaking of Age of X-Man, I remembered Rahsaan's comments on the lack of originality in this event, and I kinda agree. Then again, Marvel's creative team probably have limitations they have to work with. But it would be nice if for once they could get REALLY wild with these alternate realities; I don't know if you guys are familiar with a manga series named JoJo's Bizarre Adventures, but at a certain point its universe was rebooted - and unlike Marvel's retcons or DC's reboots, it was rebooted FOR REAL, to the point where the vast majority of characters from the old continuity (including almost all protagonists) ceased to exist and the people and events from the new continuity are really new, not just counterparts to the old continuity. Oh yeah, and as far as we know, the old continuity doesn't exist anymore.
It was an incredibly bold move, one that big companies like Marvel would hardly be able to do. But it paid off and made the series even more interesting than it already was (while it's a looong series, it's broken into "runs", each one featuring a different protagonist and a different theme).
FSaker, Marvel and DC will never do a reboot as you just describe because that's not what we the fans (or anyone) want.
that's fine and dandy for your anime show, but comic books have decades of history and story lines that would be a major no-no to throw that all away. Especially if you're implying Marvel doesn't have the balls to reboot the comics with entirely new characters, not counterparts, no way in hell anyone in their right mind at DC or Marvel would do something like that. "oh hey, you know what would be bold? Let's get rid of Batman and replace him with a new hero.. Ratman!"
Yeah, please do this Marvel and DC.
@FSaker, I would personally love that idea, but @CmX is correct. Most Marvel readers are not that dynamic in their tastes. I have come to a point of acceptance with Marvel in regard to thir status quo, which is fine. The know their audience. For high stakes storytelling, I go to a company like Image who has come to be bolder in making its audience realize that there are stakes for characters in its storytelling.
Also, Marvel isn’t really geared at this point with all its continuity to tel finite stories in confined universes. Image as a new company quickly discovered (after initially trying to emulate Marvel) that it could make its own niche of more “realistic” (within the fantasy of its storiea that is) scripting.
I think the closest Marvel will ever get to this type of writig is with writers like Brian Vaughand and Rick Remender who are grittier and who both actually do write for Image, but as @CmX pointed out, Marvel only gives them so long of a leash with titles like Runaways and X-Force that still must adhere to Marvel rules. Though they do so far more maturely and sophisticatedly than a lot of the company’s publications.
@CmX, sorry, I guess I didn't explain myself correctly. I don't mean Marvel should throw away their characters; that would be insane, indeed. I was referring to alternate-reality events, like the upcoming Age of X-Man: if you're going to present a different reality, shouldn't it be... you know... DIFFERENT? Having heroes and villains switching sides or being in love with different people is something that has been done too many times already.
I think these opportunities could be used to make something original and introduce new characters or ideas. DC used to do that before Crisis on Infinite Earths (Earth-2 giving us Huntress and Black Canary, for example) and Marvel occasionally did it in alternate Earths (most notably with Miles Morales and Sugar-Man).
Maybe I'm just rambling nonsense, but I just think Marvel's creative teams could try a little harder to bring something new, rather than just recycling ideas we've seen many times before.
(by the way, when you say "comic books have decades of history and story lines that would be a major no-no to throw that all away", well, so does JJBA: while Marvel and DC are older, JJBA dates back to the 1980s... it's far from being a book with few storylines. And despite that, even before the reboot, its story lines never prevented the author from trying new ideas and pushing the envelope. Maybe the Western writers could learn a thing or two from him.)
