*** Is this too harsh or direct?
Betsy has had many moments of self actualization. She has realized who she is and has come to terms with her situation a multitude of times:
After her body swap and adventures with Logan in Madripoor
Breaking out of Mojo/Spirals thrall
After Kwannon’s death
During the Sisterhood arc inner battle with herself
The time she had to destroy her original body in her mini series
And then the last one in the Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor mini where she creates her own body of what she actually sees herself as
She has this common theme of having these introspective moments where she comes out very confident and secure of who she is moving forward
My question is with all these moments that show her being confident and secure in who she is what made you want to go back to her being insecure, lost and unsure of herself? Is it because of her new role as Captain Britain?
The one thing I do want to applaud though is that this is the second time (first was Leah Williams) we get a female perspective of what Betsy has gone through.
How do you balance the story beats you want to pursue with the fans wanting to see the secure self-actualized Betsy we seem to be used to?

Short and direct.

You'd have to ask the writers. It seems every writer who's ever touched Betsy has the need to put her through the same journey of self-actualization you mention. And they all end the same - she finally accepts who she is, her place in the universe, and has a clear idea of where she's going... [I]once and for all!!![/I]
*Enter new writer* - Lather, rinse, repeat. Yawn.
As for the rest of your post, you list a bunch of references yourself, but are you asking for specific issue/page numbers? :confused:

Yeah this is for the AITP writer interview where they ask her questions.
And yes I did ask for references because some fans have that handy.
But anyways
Thanks Ferro
I’ll make it more short and direct.

yeah, but I think you already answered you'r own question :
"My question is with all these moments that show her being confident and secure in who she is what made you want to go back to her being insecure, lost and unsure of herself? Is it because of her new role as Captain Britain?"
They will probably say " yeah it's a new role bla bla bla".
Ask what makes this new path to realization/self confidence or arc difrent from the previous ones that she has had

I hate that she’s on the 4th page.
What would you guys like to see for our Betsy this year?

Ugh why do they come out so tiny.[/QUOTE]
The middle pic is particularly striking. Betsy' costume to the far right pic I would love if she would go back to that but a cape and hood be added it would be awesome. The one on the far left Kwannon can take back/steal. Liked that one too.

What do you guys think about X-Men: Demon Days?
The character seems to be inspired by Psylocke. But her white skin, magenta hair and blue eyes seems to indicate this is a reference if British Betsy still plays her role as Psylocke

my opinion: Peach momoko is pretty much taking the characters to their "basic aesthetics" and creating her own verse, there's a geisha Emma Frost on a preview even, so I predict this wont be betsy or kwannnon.
Just Psylocke:The psychic ninja that when you google her sometimes has volumous lavender hair and blue eyes, and those colours are way more apealing to a watercolor artist like Momoko.

Any Betsy friendships that we havent seen in awhile that you guys would like revisited and explored?
I miss the Logan/Betsy dynamic.
I would also like to see her with Sage and Dazzler.

Jean. I liked where they were going in Disassembled but that was cut short with AOX

all of those...plus Storm, Kurt and Warren.

Her and Logan. Her body is a direct result of an event about him.
Have they had any moments since?

Telling Logan he’s a boor and to piss off wasn’t what I meant. They had no other interaction during that time. Shame. He’s always had a respect for her since holding her own against Sabretooth. Plus watching their friendship grow. They definitely need a buddy issue.

then no. Betsy hasnt interacted with anyone outside of her Excalibur cast in the current era beyond what we saw in XOS
