Never tired of cloaked Betsy even if its red 😁

I really like the combination of Betsy's new outfit with the Captain Britain helmet!

I also like that at least Meggan seems to be concerned with taking a BABY to the battlefield (even if said baby is a huge dragon). And that Betsy made Saturnyne shut up.

But I don't get the "ambitious little Courtney" line... I know that Saturnyne and Courtney Ross were kinda like counterparts of each other; is Betsy merely referring to that?

it amazes me the skill of writting NOTHING Tini Howard has... the artist is amazing but she really is weak. She has tons of great characters in hands and do this?

The new duds move to the action. From all angles perfect with no cape. The flexibility and the hail to Betsy's Psylocke days. Props to whoever did this.

"Never tired of cloaked Betsy even if its red"

True, she looks very cool with this red cloak!

Maybe I'll eventually get tired of her new outfit, but so far, I'm loving it in all three versions (with the cloak, with the helmet, and with her head uncovered).

@randy, I had to a double-take when I saw YOU giving accolades in the previous post! LOL! Tini actually showed up and showed out with this premier? I look forward to reading.

@Everyone, do you all think it was deliberate nod to OutbacK Armored-Bets metal helmet and hooded cape? If so, then awesome as it does very much remind us of her purple hood and pink, metal face plate from days of old!!

And I'm so happy about her butterfly psi-self and butterfly power signature being back! I hope this issue really delivers!


On another note: I feel for Kwannon. After having a good run with Hellions, I am concerned that she will get crappy writing in Marauders, whose Annual No.1, I hated. I hope the writing gets better over there as I do enjoy the cast that book has.

I'd kill for the Outback armor returns. For the cape to pop out. Stylistically the helmet is a no no I'd go with a union mask for the hair to show with the new costume.

"do you all think it was deliberate nod to OutbacK Armored-Bets metal helmet and hooded cape?"

That's a great question. Has she appeared in any panel with the helmet AND the hooded cloak at the same time? If so, it could be a nod to the Outback armor.

Just finished reading it. Liked it much better than Excalibur.

Although I read it quickly. I'll have to reread, but I didn't really see an explanation for Betsy's new outfit. Maybe I missed it?

"Now it appears that the Betsy must reclaim the item that had almost led to the erasure of her identity and bring it back to Roma, the same woman who gifted it to the X-Men in the first place. It seems the Siege Perilous isn't done yet with Betsy, and that her fate is still entwined to the artifact."
