Set in the aftermath of Psylocke’s infamous rebirth in the early ’90s, the story dives into what really happened before she rejoined the X-Men. Torn between her telepathic identity and her new ninja body, Betsy faces a brutal test when Marvel’s deadliest assassin comes for her — and the two icons collide in a battle of precision, power, and purpose.
“This is the spiritual successor to Rogue: The Savage Land,” said Seeley. “We’re revisiting iconic X-Men moments and asking, what haven’t we seen yet? The idea of tying Psylocke’s Hand era into Daredevil’s world — and Elektra’s — just made perfect sense. My god, it all fits.”
For artist Nico Leon, this project is a dream come true. “I’ve always loved ninjas — the study of action, rhythm, and movement,” Leon said. “Diving into Psylocke and Elektra’s martial roots feels like being a kid again, sword in hand. Every panel is a joy to draw.”
Fans can look forward to a main cover by Derrick Chew, variant covers by Juan Frigeri and Nogi San, and a special foil edition by Dike Ruan. Psylocke: Ninja #1 slashes into comic shops this January — and it’s shaping up to be one of the fiercest face-offs in X-Men lore.

“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.

Never would have thought we would ever see Betsy marketed as Psylocke much less while in Kwannon body, not what I was expecting but I’ll take it and maybe this will make people realize how much more interesting Betsy is over K
You guys don’t forget PRE ORDERS are super important. Make sure you are Pre Ordering and put on your pull list in your shops.
I'm actually really excited for this cause they're acknowledging her history as Psylocke and it's basically the only Betsy content we've had in a while, I love the artist and Seely is a decent writer
People are raging saying K deserves better as if K has not been shoehorned in main titles and major plots since Krakoa lol
Also my hope for this mini is maybe there will be some retconning to make the body swap more digestible we’ll see
This ugly and negative specimen of this community right here will be supporting the crap out of this book.
I prefer Dissembled Psylocke, but will always support Betsy in either body :)
I'll be getting this and the novel with Kitty & Jean.
guys, this is THE moment. our Betsy facing the majestic Elektra. I hope this series is as amazing as it was the first when Betsy killed Matsuoo
K who?
