Okay. Let's go down and do more X-related reviews, eh? This review is another blast from the past and it is literally a blast. It concerns Psylocke who used to be boring back when she first joined the X-Men (vol 1) wearing a hooded cape and mask and cannot do almost anything physical. In addition, she had this butterfly energy signature?!!?!?! Ugh!!!!Anyway, she came back after a few years with the team as an Asian looking assassin who kicks major ass and dresses skimpily. We always wondered WTF happened, right? Thinking that it's due to her journey through the Siege Perilous ... well these two issues finally answered the question and what an answer it is
You see, there is Betsy, the English psychic and then there is Kwannon, the assassin and without spoiling the details, somehow their minds and bodies got ... more than a simple switcharound ... but even their abilities. Hence that's why now both ladies can fight and have psychic powers. Of course the full tale is much more convoluted. Otherwise, it cannot qualify as an X-tale, right? Hahaha!
But these 2 issues are GOLD. You have sexy bitches in skimpy clothing whirling around with swords and trying to kick the tar out of each other and you have all the manipulative blokes thrown into the mix. The ending? A bit of a wrencher, I kid you not
Definitely worth your time picking this up
