ONE OF THE X-MEN IS CHANGED FOREVER!
Past and present clash in final battle on an island of secrets and sin! What darkness lies within Sapphire Styx?
Can a ghost from the past save Psylocke from oblivion?
Here is the standard cover (and also your last chance to avoid a massive spoiler).
Ready?
The cover is by Terry Dodson and it shows a change to Psylocke nearly 30 years in the making.
Somehow, Psylocke is going to end this story back in her original, British body. This has been a topic of great debate among X-Fans as there have always been uncomfortable racial undertones with Psylocke changes races. However, reverting her back to her British body effectively erases one of the most popular Asian presenting characters in comics. It is a no-win situation and all fans can do is hope that Jim Zub and Thony Silas handle it with grace. History says they will.
Oh and don’t go spoiling this for people who don’t want spoiled. I shouldn’t have to say that.
