Psylocke #1

(script by Christ Yost Art by Harvey Taliboa)

Psylocke is back in a new body and maybe a new mind but she still doesn't know who she really is anymore so she travels to japan with Wolverine in tow

I'm not sure if Psylocke needs a mini series but here we are !

The book seems to be basically about Psylocke trying to find out who she really is deep down inside which is a great hook to reel people in and gives Yost a lot of room to clear up some things with Betsy who is probably the most screwed over X-men .

Although one wishes this would have come out sooner since it ties into her reappearance in Uncanny X-men where of course she switched minds/bodies again ! And frankly the first couple of pages of this comic are a bit of a cluttered almost impossible to read mess It also doesn't help that there is some weird back and forth timeline going on making it hard to place when the opening scene actually happened. and of course it is also nice to see Psylocke and Dazzler has buddy buddies again even if they haven't seen each other in a long time.

I think the best thing about this book is Betsys inner monologue which comes across as intelligent and witty befitting someone who grew up a rich socialite in england with a well healed education.

The art is very reminiscent of Stephen Segovia with long wavy lines everywhere unfortunately some there is too many extreme close ups in the beginning and the actions scenes are extremely cluttered at first but then it starts to come together around page 10
