Spoilers: In Krakoa, Rogue tries to copes with the loss of Betsy while Rictor is devastated about losing Apocalypse. Rogue and Gambit head to the Green Lagoon tiki bar for a drink and fill Blob in on Betsy’s misfortune. Rogue reveals she has contacted X-Factor to investigate Betsy’s whereabouts and prove that she’s dead in order to proceed with her resurrection. Rictor and Jubilee join Rogue and Gambit at the bar. Rictor is upset they’re not affected about the loss of Apocalypse as well. Gambit reminds him that Apocalypse chose to leave while Betsy got played by Saturnyne and deserves justice. Rachel contacts Excalibur to meet X-Factor at the Boneyard. The results of the investigation were inconclusive as there is no proof of death, therefore the Resurrection protocols are out of question. Rogue is upset that no one seems to care about Betsy. Rachel says she loves Betsy and tells Rogue that X-Factor did all they could. Rachel then encourages Excalibur to investigate the crime scene: Otherworld.
Rogue, Gambit, Rictor and Jubilee travel through the Avalon gate and are welcomed in Camelot by Brian, Meggan, Maggie and King Jamie. Brian and Meggan are desperate to find answers about Betsy as well. Jamie suggests making a new Betsy from scratch but they all agree they’re better off without him mucking about with Betsy again. Meggan is now the Court Sorceress and reveals her connection to Otherworld has grown stronger. Meggan felt a calling coming from the arena site and invites Excalibur to join her while Brian stays behind to look after Jamie and Maggie. Jamie tells Brian he has other ideas to find Betsy and leaves through the Avalon gate. Jamie heads to Bar Sinister and warns Sinister he wants to call in his favor. Jamie commissions Sinister to create a body for Betsy since he promised not to mess with reality.
Once Excalibur reaches the spot where Betsy shattered, Meggan connects to the land. Following the instructions left by Apocalypse in his Grimoire, Rictor supervises the ritual. They all hold hands and focus on Betsy’s imprint left on the site with Rogue acting as the conduit. Excalibur succeeds; however, their ritual summons the Captain Britain Corps. Meggan asks for their help and tells all about Betsy-Prime missing. As the faeries have told Meggan that Betsy is not in Otherworld, one Captain Britain theorizes she must be lost in one of their realms. All Captains Britain agree to search for her.
Meanwhile, our Betsy Braddock-616 wakes up in what appears to be an alternate earth where she is Queen Elizabeth III. Betsy is startled when she sees an alternate Warren Worthington III serving breakfast in bed to her. Warren calls Betsy the queen of his heart.
“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.

This... Is actually not the worst thing that could've happened, I'm interested now... Let's see if Tini can achieve something with Betsy
I actually enjoyed it. Maybe because Tini wasn’t writing a horrible Betsy. Also was the bar scene a throwback to Age of X-Man? Awww 🥰
I was about to scream or.. I guess I did lol reading the part when Sinister is comissioned to create a new body for Betsy and then I read she's alive , so happy ! So so happy.
This was pretty good! Excalibur actually improved without focusing too much on Apocalypse and Betsy lol. Rogue and Meggan are badasses.
This was clearly aimed at Betsy fans. You can tell Tini loves these characters.
Preach, Tini.
loved this issue .... Betsy looked beautiful in it
For those interested, I created an image of her in the last page. Marcus To's Betsy is up there with Alan Davis, Petellier, and Adams for me. Sylvestri too.

I liked this issue, because, without Apocalypse in the fold, we might actually get Betsy in her own book. I just wished they would have brought back Tom Lennox, instead of Angel, or even Agent Gabriel. HELL, bring back Allison Double.
Almost inches closer to the butterfly 🦋 keep reaching and we have it back. I liked the team came together and Rogue Gambit and Jubilee care for Betsy more than her family.
Is Tom alive?
It's like Betsy is invisible and nobody cares if she's gone. The Betsy web haters who cheer for her funeral aren't accounted.
Lol ikr Excalibur had to go to the Braddock family to say they were gonna look for Betsy since no one else was 🤣
Sad but true. 😞
@Kiki most of those people probably aren't even real but trolls with multiple accounts. None of them have even responded back to me when I presented them with facts backed by screenshots on this character (Kwannon) they supposedly love so much lol (yet seem to know knotting about her really). All I do is show them Kwannon pointlessly murdering (which the man with her actually points out lol) people in Betsy's body (when they say Betsy did stuff in Kwannon's body) or I ask them to remind me how Kwannon even got out of her braindead status and suddenly no one has anything to say lol.
@Kiki @X-Man I prefer to call them bots than haters or trolls. What X-Man said is correct Betsy forced nothing on her and for a fact Betsy was the victim because she was forced to participate in a twisted experiment of mind trading that could have done irreversible damage to Betsy. But our girl made out of it alive because she is a survivor. The people to blame was Kwannon who betrayed her Yakuza faction for the Hand and Matsuo and Matsuo with Mandarin who abducted Betsy in a very sensitive condition of amnesia as she couldn't put up a fight against them. It was a dirty fight with all odds against Betsy.
@Kiki Tom Lennox is still dead. No sign of him alive in any title after his assassination.
She does and if she does her best with the characters they will become more popular and interesting.
Very beautiful props to you.
