Psylocke #1 (Of 4)

, aka Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock, sometimes spelled as Elisabeth, is a Marvel Comics superheroine, most notably part of the superhero team the X-Men. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Herb Trimpe, she first appeared in the UK comic book (Dec. 1976), by the Marvel imprint Marvel UK. She was initially a supporting character in the adventures of her fraternal twin brother, Captain Britain, briefly substituting for him in the role. Later, she became the mutant superheroine Psylocke. Originally presented as a telepath, the character was eventually written as unexplainedly possessing telekinesis. Psylocke later possesses both abilities. This four-issue miniseries is a soul-searching journey of sorts for one of the X-Men's more interesting members. A very strong first issue, with a jumping companion story on Cable and the Messiah child Hope.

Psylocke has returned to the X-Men! Following the defeat of Madelyne Pryor and her Sisterhood, Psylocke travels to Japan to re-inter her former body in its proper resting place. But when a swarm of Hand ninjas attack Psylocke and do the unspeakable under orders from Matsu'o-the assassin originally responsible for transplanting Psylocke's mind into the body of an Asian ninja-Psylocke determines that Matsu'o is one loose end that can no longer be left unresolved. It's a tale of carnage and revenge, brought to you by superstars Chris Yost (X-FORCE) and Harvey Tolibao (AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE)! Parental Advisory. --
