X-Men

Psylocke #1

The character of Psylocke has had a complicated comic history. The new series centers not around the original Psyclocke Betsy Braddock but on Kwannon (think Elektra but a mutant and a bizarre body-swapping past). After a bit of off-the-books action to open up the comic’s first issue, the former Hand assassin finds herself benched by Cyclops telling her she needs a vacation. Who wants to bet we aren’t getting a bunch of issues of her lounging on the beach?

Uncanny X-Men #2

Bouncing around a bit more than is probably necessary, Uncanny X-Men #2 offers the core characters of this title reacting quite poorly to the mutants who responded to the call for help they left. We get the obligatory fight between Rogue, Gambit, and Wolverine versus Calico, Ember, Jitter, Ransom, and Deathdream before calmer heads eventually prevail with Rogue stating the obvious about who she and her friends are and will forever be.

X-Men #2

The second issue of the new volume focus on Cyclops leading his team of Magik, Kid Omega, Psylocke, Juggernaut, and Temper into the field. Arriving in San Francisco looking for a mutant, the X-Men find the city under siege from an alien invasion (or so it seems). In reality, the new mutant, Ben Liu, is causing the situation without even being aware of it.

Uncanny X-Men #1

The first issue of the relaunched Uncanny X-Men jumps around quite a bit highlighting a world where mutants have retreated back into the shadows. The world has changed. The mansion is under the control of Doctor Corina Ellis whose plans involve stripping it of its history and using what she can for her own anti-mutant agenda. Some of the X-Men have travelled with Cyclops to build something new. However, others seem adrift. As Rogue asks, what is next for them?
