I get keeping the Asian Psylocke aesthetic but I don't get Kwannon getting to use 'Psylocke' instead of Betsy. Makes no sense. Character is blah to me. I get that the body swap was ick, but the 2 Psylockes ain't working baby.

I just don't understand the point of this character. It's been five years since her reintroduction, and it seems like no writer has managed to give her a clear identity.

Everything about her feels like recycled leftovers from Betsy Braddock. Why does this character even exist if she's just given Betsy's personality, powers, aesthetic-and now even her old storylines?

I get that every writer wants to create new characters but this doesn't do much for me. Some good ideas though.

This book is just OK for me. The biggest struggle I have is that I don't like the team lineup at all so I'm not at all motivated to continue buying. It's kind of an issue I have with McKay's X-Men as well. I need flagship characters (which Betsy no longer is since she lost the Psylocke identity).

I do think this series is improving. The only problem I have with it is the core concept-- I'm not sold on Jean as a cosmic hero. What I love about Jean is her human side and her relationship with the X-Men. We're not seeing any of that which is a bit sad for me.

I think the editors should consider giving her more earth time but releasing the Phoenix power when on earth to balance thi I do think this series is improving.

Not a bad debut. Not overly fond of the art style and the cast doesn't do much for me. This just doesn't feel like the cast of a flagship X-book.

And thus ends an era. The issue itself is a solid conclusion, with the idea of what happened to the mutants stuck in the White Hot Room being a particularly lovely idea - I adore the concept of the Krakoan dream ascending to Heaven, leaving its flawed architects behind to exist forever in an unreachable eternity.

I'm finding this lame duck era especially bad. Here we just get more of Duggan's pets (Laura, Emma, Kitty, Everett) continue to do their shtick and get more of the continued vilification of Xavier.

Wow. This is incredibly bad. Weird jokes in the fighting. Plot points that make no sense. While I think Duggan had good issues, this one is not it.

More Cypher please!

Yearning for a fresh take.

Personally I am happy one Laura was removed from the board. I hate the proliferation of duplicate and/or derivative characters.

It seems that Synch's Vault story has gone awry though. Synch's story was heartbreaking-- an ancient man stuck in a young man's body without the love of his life. Instead of exploring that theme, Duggan just gave him the love interest. Steps have been skipp Personally I am happy one Laura was removed from the board.

Was so looking forward to this. I don't think it is remotely good nor will it have any lasting impact. Yet another example of the Krakoan era whimpering and limping out.

The summer relaunch is so desperately needed.

Overall, not impressed. Need Rasputin IV and Ms. Marvel to be gone. I don't care where, just not in a flagship X-Men title.

Positive points for seeing actual A-list X-Men together: Kitty, Kurt, Peter, Logan, Remy and Rogue in a panel together? Almost unheard of compared to the try hards they have littering these titles.

Good God the Krakoa era just needs to die.

Has some good retcons, has some unnecessary retcons. The X-Office continues to vilify Xavier and soften villains. Can Spurrier be done with Nightcrawler now?
