    I'm probably gonna get a lot of heat for this...(spoilers)

        Hmm...I don't know what it was about this issue that i just didn't find appealing. The Art was good, so i suppose it had to be something with the story. I guess i was just disappointed that this book chose the path to follow the normal cliche. So we get Psylocke who is taking her original body back to Japan to bury it. Japan of all places i have no idea why. Lo and behold Betsy gets ambushed by the most cliched thing you could ever get ambushed by in Japan. Yep thats right Hand Ninjas. Who are working for the over cliched evil Japanese buisnessman or Warlord who for some reason wants to destroy Betsy's already dead body for no other apparent reason other than to be a total dick. By the way The Hand is supposed to be lead by Daredevil right? So i fail to see what either Matt or the Hand would gain to see the destruction of a corpse and a pissed off katana wielding white woman in an asian woman's body on a rampage for revenge. I already saw the same premise in Kill Bill.

Her conversation with both Alison, Scott, and Logan was very interesting to read. One of the most new part was when she ...

      I come to this series (a few years late) as an outsider on all things to do with the X-Men and only vaguely aware of the character (though that is one of the main reasons why I was interested in this.)  Of course having little understanding of the X-Men stories means that I also have very little clue of what is going on here, which for someone just picking up this book might be an issue, but I would assume most X-Men fans have a firm grasp on what is going on here.  Still even with these limitat...
