Psylocke has never been better.
Stronger. More resourceful. More powerful. More passionate and tragic.
Ok – she’s angry too but Elizabeth has never been written better than in recent years. I loved how Rick Remender wrote Betsy’s epic romance with Archangel during his Uncanny X-Force run and now Sam Humphries is taking the tragic, twisted romance of Betsy and Fantomex into new directions while revealing some “lost moments” between the lovers.
“Yes, we saw a change in Betsy emotionally between the end of Rick Remender’s volume of “Uncanny X-Force” and my new volume. Those changes are definitely connected to what happened between Betsy and Fantomex in Paris and what happened after they walked off together into the sunset to a happy ending,” Humphries tells Comic Book Resources.
“What happened during that time period will be revealed in a three-part story that runs through issues #7-9. Part of the story in those three issues takes place in the present day in Madripoor where we see Betsy and the female Fantomex personality known as Cluster going after Weapon XIII, Fantomex’s dark persona who has captured the sort of regular Fantomex persona.
Then the other half of the story unfolds in flashbacks in Paris where we see firsthand what happened between Betsy, Fantomex and Cluster during that time. We’ll see what went so wrong between them all. The things that went bad went very, very bad.
Uncanny X-Force #7 is out today.
