This is the ongoing saga from way back when we were having a hot babe Psylocke ... who is supposedly Betsy Braddock. So how did a British woman become Asian after vanishing within the Siege Perilous? For those who do not know what we are talking about here, then shame on you. You are obviously not an X-Men fan because if you are and you do not know, then how the heck can you make sense of today's X-Titles? Hahahaha!Seriously, Betsy was a British telepath secret agent who wasn't much use in the X-Men until one day when the odds were against the X-Men, they took the short cut way by running into this mystical mirror called the Siege Perilous. In theory, it is supposed to weigh each entrant and give them a new lease of life. But as far as the X-men are concerned, none of them came through with anything big except our Brit friend ... who became unto an Asian ninja warrior woman type!
So as the X-Men starts to get used to having her around, the original Psylocke returned and claims to be the real Betsy Braddock. Strangely enough even Prof X cannot discern who is real and who is not and so begins a quest to the East ... tagging along is Gambit and Beast ...
Things would have been a little easier on the eye if Kubert had bothered to draw one woman with Caucasian features but instead both women have slit-eyes ... sigh ... and we love Kubert ... seriously because this issue is just plain AWESOME especially all the action scenes although the posings could be a little bit ... odd?
Anyway, in Japan, in this issue, things come to a head as they confront several of the Japanese X-villains including Silver Samurai, Shinobi Shaw, Lord Nyoirin, Matsuo and more ... but will the truth be revealed ... finally?
