Well, it's about time, Marvel.

The last time I even bothered with a Marvel comic was the abortion that was Astonishing X-Men
once Whedon left. Not sure but I think the series was canceled an issue or two afterwards.

Rightfully so.

The other day while perusing the local comic book shop, the roomie came across an X-Men cover that caught his attention. I reluctantly picked it up and was impressed by the artwork and story line.

Jean Grey's doppelganger, a ghostly Madelyn Pryor has brought together a gaggle of villainous X-bitches, including new and improved versions of Lady Deathstryke and Spiral to not only kidnap missing in action X-Men psychic, Psylocke, but also grave rob the original body of Betsy Braddock who died when Kwannon contracted the legacy virus years ago. Madelyn plans on transferring Betsy back into her original body which will allow her to take possession of the body Psylocke's grown accustomed for years.
