Spoilers: After Anole carries out his plan to blow up the Hope Summers Memorial Library, Department X rushes to the scene. Psylocke lets her guard down hoping to talk Armor into coming in, but it's useless. The students instead steal a van and run away. Department X decides to call in the X-Men and the children's rebellion comes to a bitter end with Armor, Anole, Rockslide and Glob sent to the Danger Room Prison Complex, their memories wiped out, with the exception of Glob, who remembers everything.
“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.

Boring uneventful issue but Psylocke looked stunning
Betts looked so fantastic!
Good lord, she's so pretty!
Anyone saw the new Uncanny X-Men issue ? Raven did something Ironic to Kwanon imo
This issue reminded me a lot of her Marc Silvetsri drew her during Fall of The Mutants. Beautiful.
No doubt, she looks beautiful in this.
Betsy is beautiful here. The NextGen artist by no means can beat Marc Silvestri in drawing the original Psylocke. Marc Silvestri's Psylocke is unrivalled in every respect only with the exception of Alan Davis and Pepe Larraz when he will get his talented hands on Betsy's Caucasian body.
Now, Jaime... You forgot Arthur Adams and Olivier Copiel. Unless you don't rock with them like that??
And Pepe is contributing to at least one of Jonathan's new books, so hopefully, we'll get to see his rendition of Betsy in her own body very soon!
Speaking of miniseries reaching their end, does anyone know how Ed Piskor's Grand Design book ended? Its cover shows both the 1990s X-Men team and the DoFP future; I wonder if somehow the DoFP timeline is still existent in this miniseries...
@Rahsaan I'm deeply embarrassed I forgot Arthur Adams. His Psylocke was a goddess with the 80's stylish coiffure. Arthur Adams breathed life and elegance into Psylocke. At a quick glance the reader could tell all about Betsy's personality in that era. The classic artists held magic into their hands.
I hope Pepe Larraz gets Betsy right from her hair, face, eyes to her overall original body proportions. I feel kind of exhausted seeing inconsistencies like black hair, brown or purple eyes and flat body parts because Betsy was a callipygian UK gal.
@FSaker Grand Design ended also uneventfully bizarre. It was a continuity mess where days of future past had a crossover with Bishop's time travel story while the X-tinction Agenda played in the background and it landed back to when Scott retired from the X-Men after Phoenix seemingly committed suicide on Chandilar. On the last page he talks on the phone with Xavier and looking for job on the fishing trawler of Aleytys Forrester.
Thanks for the information, Jaime!
As for this crossover, does Piskor show the DoFP future and Bishop's future as being one and the same? Because that's... not a bad idea, to be honest.
@FSaker anytime! No the DoFP timeline and the one of Earth-1191 didn't collide because that would mean universal implosion.
In DoFP the Summers Rebellion didn't succeed so that the Xavier's Security Enforcers to be formed by Hecat'e and have Bishop time travel to save the past from a traitor within the X-Men ranks.
That was a fatal error the X-Men animated series did by mashing together two different future outcomes; DoFP created by Mystique assassinating senator Robert Kelly and Earth-1191 created by Bishop trying to terminate the X-traitor who was Professor Xavier as Onslaught. Bishop in a sense created his own future timeline by making contact with the past so he was revealed to be the traitor of the dream when he targeted Hope and Cable during the Messiah Complex.
