Mahmud Asrar cannot draw women. Even though the initial Excalibur run had fantastic artwork by Marcus To, the covers were terrible IMO. Asrar makes women too blocky, and the faces look like dogs. The noses, the jawlines, just really ugly stuff. Almost as bad as Joshua Cassara (X-Force). Go back and look at how Cassara draws Saturnyne...yikes. Asrar is the same. One of my least favorite artists. He butchered Betsy here too.
Not really a fan of this at all. This is the person who came up with the Dissasembled costume though right? I gotta still give him props for that if so.
@X-Man yes Mahmud Asrar was the creator of Betsy's recent most beautiful Psylocke costume. Unfortunately his version wasn't given the time to grow on fans. Not only was sleek and combat functional, it also served as a fashion status for Betsy.
Marcus To came up with the complex new Captain Britain costume for Betsy. The new version doesn't compliment her at all and every artist has a take on it either by coloring or accents making it inconsistent. The old Betsy Captain Britain costume from the 1980s looks better in its simplicity.
“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.

Waist twister meh costume
I'm kinda bored with artists go to pose for Betsy is holding her sword in the air.
Gross. This costume is an eye-sore and synonymous with Psylocke's descent into irrelevancy.
