[CENTER][b]As we close out the year of 2019 . . .
Let's celebrate what we loved most of Betsy's adventures in 2018 and what we're most hopeful for her new role as Captain Britain![/B]
It's been a roller coaster of a ride for Betsy as her major contribution to [I]Astonishing X-Men[/I] was concluded, the shocking body swap that occurred in [I]Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor[/I], and the family reunion she had for the holidays in [I]Merry X-Men Holiday Special[/I]. The end of 2018 showcased her as the team's premiere telepath alongside Jean Grey in the comeback of [I]Uncanny X-Men[/I] in the weekly series of [I]Disassembled[/I]. In the recent Age of X-Man crossover, Betsy led the team of [I]The X-Tremists[/I] in her role to eradicate love from society using her telepathy. Now that the X-Men have returned, it's time for them to enter a new seminal era-- Krakoa. Covered in Jonathan Hickman's House of X and Powers of X, the mutants of the Marvel Universe are building their own society and civilization on the islands of Krakoa. It's time for them to unite as one and develop their culture, economy, and politics among other factors in building a nation.
