Thank goodness she's alive I don't read Wolverine's book, but I like Mystique so this is awesome news.

@devdave: Ok. I just saw that Mystique and Sabretooth were making out. She isn't brainwashed and her powers are stronger now she can shift and Wolverine cant pick up her scent now.

@KDarkholme: Mystique first appeared alive in Wolverine #300 at the end, and made another brief appearance in Wolverine #301 before really messing with Wolvie (in more ways than one) in the just-released Wolverine #302 . The thing about her apparent resurrection by the Hand is that it is not totally explained yet. As I said above, I'm guessing it was similar to what happened to Psylocke, but Mystique looks no physically different in her usual form (but then she IS a shape-shifter), certainly does not appear to have been brainwashed as Psylocke was, but just got a slight power enhancement.

@devdave: @Purgy: I know Im late now but when did they bring her back.? Do you guys know the issue(s).?

Not that it's totally relevant to the storyline, but I am curious as to how Mystique was brought back by the Hand. It appears she went through a ritual similar to Psylocke, with some power enhancement but WITHOUT the brainwashing..

And Marvel won't kill off one of their main money makers now will they. I'm thinking she and wolve will have one huge fight, leading to something big.

@KDarkholme: I was in pain also however, I recently discovered that she is indeed alive. She is in the latest Wolverine comics. I think it was revealed she was alive in 301, and she is on front page art for 302 released on 7/4/12. So this is great news, lets hope they further develop her character and she gets revenge on Wolverine. Its about time someone put him down for good in my opinion, though sadly I don't see that happening because he has so many die-hard fans.

Probably. I think they are going to try to brain wash her.
