    Psylocke...Simply Amazing


    Now as a hardcore Psylocke fan I have no problem admitting that there are some aspects of her character that are a little bit confusing to say the least. She has had some serious changes to her character and damage has been done. This mini however can remind anyone why she is one of the top women to ever grace the pages of comic books. That no matter what happens she is still the same no nonsense badass she has always been, no matter what body.  
     
    This third installment of the issue was, as the title says, simply amazing. Tolibao pencils really get better and better with each passing issue. The way he draws her butterfly signature is great and if you notice he gives it its own uniqueness. Like when she is complacent its a simple butterfly but when she is in action he draws it a bit more jagged and menacing. His Matsuo was so creepy and heartbreaking and I loved it. It reminds us of why Wolverine is one of the most dangerous people on the planet. Betsy finding out about Fahd's history and her inner struggle to stop him from killing Matsuo was top notch. Her constantly knocking around Yukio made for some great laughs as well. Yost has a great handle on Betsy and the final knock down that will be Psylocke Vs Wolverine is sure to be Epic. They are great friends and to see them clash on what is right will be one to remember. Great issue. Great art. Great Story.

      What an entrance!!! Everything burns, here an explosion, there an explosion. Alone the colors are making me lust for more. And then the beautiful pencils by Harvey Tolibao...what can I say...and that´s only the beginning. He keeps getting better and better each panel.  We see a lot of action in this issue, a lot of fights and a lot of fire. But I personally think that the dialog suffers a bit. It is almost jumpy at some times. You can´t imagine how this bubble is connected to the other one. M...

      This builds nicely on the previous two issues.  The previous issue ended on the common enough cliche of something blowing up with the hero inside but the action picks up here not exactly where most of those go to.  Instead of having miraculously survived the explosions, Psylocke is still inside it while trying to not pass out from the heat.  This leads to a battle with Jinn the fiery assassin for hire seen in the previous issue.  There is a little bit of a conclusion to this but this only sends ...
