Uncanny X-Force #6 Spoilers

Spoilers: Deathlok senses other Deathlok units from another possible future and believes that they are up to no-good. The alternate Deathlok units are comprised of superheroes who in the future are hunted, killed, and then reanimated as super-cop Deathlok units, which the government sanctions. The alternate Deathloks have been sent back in time to protect their possible future by obtaining a weapon known as the World. Appearantly, after Fantomex killed the child Apocolypse, it caused a disturbance in the time stream sending Deathloks and their controler into phone-booth time machines to fix the glitch. Meanwhile, Psylocke tells Brian Braddock that she aided in the murder of a child. Brian gets angry, but tells her that he can't absolve or condone her, and that he will always love her. His image then disappears, and Warren asks Betsy what she was doing alone in the Danger Room, to which she replies that she was talking to herself. Fantomex and Deathlok manage to escape the others Deathloks with the aid of X-Force. Fantomex then decides that the only way to stop this is by killing the "Father". He then expands the World, X-Force is going in to kill Father and the Future.

5 Ronin #4 Spoilers

Spoilers: In Japan, Captain Braddock tells his 9 year-old-daughter that back in England, he and his friends used to caught butterflies and pin them to a board, not for their beauty, just for the sport. He explains to her that in Japan the butterfly is revered for its vigor and grace, something that she would need if she wants to make her way in this violent world. His daughter doesn't understand, for she thinks he will always be there to look after her...

12 years later, the daughter, now assuming the alias of Butterfly has become an Oiran, a courtesan, who has learned how to read men. Unlike the other Oirans, she's tough and stands up to her friends. When she sees Logan, who's seeking for entertainement, Butterfly immediately becomes attracted to him. After spending the night together, Logan tells her that he has heard about her European father and how the Daimyo confiscated his land, which led to him to commit suicide. Logan tells her that her father was a weak man who abbandoned her. This puts Butterfly over the edge, she thinks the Daimyo is the only one to blame, he's the cause of her sorrows. They fight. Logan tells her the Daimyo killed his master and his brothers Ronin, so he's planning to avenge them. Butterfly doesn't want anybody else but her to have the satisfaction of killing the Daimyo. They can't come to an agreement, and Logan pins her to the wall with a sai, and leaves. Butterfly is left wondering that all these years she's been hating the wrong person...

Rick Remender On The Dark Angel Saga

Two more interviews with Rick Remender about The Dark Angel Saga. He doesn't really reveal anything that wasn't said before, but it's a great read nonetheless. Here are a few excerpts concerning Psylocke:

Marvel.com: While X-Force may be in unfamiliar surroundings, they will recognize many of the faces they encounter, with at least one “reunion” stirring up drastically different reactions for two team members.

“Wolverine’s going to stumble into the [Age of Apocalypse] version of his [deceased] arch-nemesis Sabretooth, but this guy is a hero,” explains Remender. “Coincidentally, Psylocke used to be romantically entangled with this Sabretooth [when they were both in EXILES], so you’ve got interesting things happening there. We’ve [also] got Wolverine’s deceased best friend, Nightcrawler, who’s alive in the Age of Apocalypse, and the woman of his dreams, Jean Grey, who is still alive and imbued with the Phoenix Force. Beyond that, the staples: Magneto, Rogue, Gambit, Silver Samurai, Sunfire—got some pretty fun stuff coming up with Sunfire.”

Newsarama: And since the story does seem to revolve around Angel — his name’s in the story arc title, after all — can we assume that Psylocke thusly is pretty center to the story?

Remender: Sure. Everybody is. That’s the reason we want to keep the cast at five. It’s a manageable cast, and I can really tell deep stories that involve every character. There’s never one story where you realize that dude was in the background running with them the whole time. So yeah, Betsy has a big role to play in this, as does Fantomex, and Wolverine, and Deadpool. Betsy’s obviously connected to it in a deeper way; Warren being the man of her life, and the guy she’s in love with. We’ll see how that all plays out. We’ll see how some of Betsy’s past comes to haunt them, and plays a role in her and Warren sort of losing control. She’s been working so hard to help Warren maintain control over this evil persona that Apocalypse put in his head — the way things spin out of control leave Betsy in a pretty rough situation.
