The Bleeding Cool Bestseller List is based on actual in-store sales data from over a hundred comic shops, primarily in North America and the UK, collected via ComicHub. The chart reflects what readers actually purchased from Wednesday through Saturday, rather than publisher orders.
Strong demand has also led to second printings, scheduled for March 4, including:
- A second printing cover by Artgerm
- A 1:25 variant cover by Dike Ruan
The quick move to second printings confirms Psylocke: Ninja #1 as one of Marvel’s standout launches of the season.
2nd Printing Variants:
“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.

I hope this finally wakes editorial up, cause Betsy isn't the problem they just haven't been giving her the right writers or storylines, Seely and Thorne have been the only writers in the 2020s who've actually been interested in Betsy and done her justice
and Foxe, but it was an infinity comic
Wow, it’s crazy that depicting (the real) Psylocke in her most popular and widely recognized iteration worked. Who would’ve thought? Take notes, Marvel.
Right I forgot about his X-Corp arc in the final stretch of Krakoa, it was actually a great showing for Betsy
Fuck yeah 🦋💖
The truth is that I actually like Kwannon and (most of) her character development in recent years, but I do wish they hadn’t tried so hard to make her a literal replacement Psylocke, complete with Betsy’s costume and full power set. It seems lazy and a bit cash-grabby of Marvel, to be honest. But the majority of Kwannon’s writers have done their best to differentiate the two, so maybe that and this great news about Betsy’s new miniseries is a sign that there’s an X-World where both Betsy and Kwannon can exist at the same time. 🤞
I hope youre right Dux. Dont forget everyone here to email officex@marvel.com and let them know you want to see more Betsy and the audiences are smart enough to understand two Psylocke characters.
Very nice surprise! Was not expecting the mini to do this well, let's hope #2 does not drop off too much, you guys make sure you've preordered the entire series not just first issue! As new variants are announced, I make sure to preorder any i like as well. This is probably as best shot as supporting Betsy at this point and who knows when we will see an opportunity like this again.
Also, do not forget to write into the xoffice! Remember do not be rude or demanding, explain to them why you love Betsy, the fact that she has 50 years of history! You don't have a long lasting, relevant character like, just not suddenly work anymore. There are NO bad characters, only bad creatives.
But I think the real issue is Kwannon is being pushed big time by Cebulski (current EIC), there's no way in hell all these writers are begging to write Kwannon. When all the writers do with her is just make her a stoic, fighter. She is so boring, this is not a biased opinion, she is not interesting in the slightest.
