I'm not feeling this sword and shield wielding Betsy. Betsy primary weapon has and always been her telepathy.
This whole full combat mode Betsy is like 90s Betsy/Psylocke to me.
I miss Betsy being creative. Remender Betsy is the best current Betsy in utlizing her telepathy IMO and balancing it with her martial arts. Cullen Bunn also used her telepathy pretty well.
I'd like Excalibur to explore more about the effect of the Amulet to Betsy's power, what are the changes given to her? Is her telepathy being enchanced/affected? or her telekinesis?
What's her connection to the otherworld other than her family? Apparently she can communicate he Dragon-Shogo, is she capable of communicating with the other creatures/faeries in the otherworld? Or maybe even controlling them?
As a native Otherworld, Betsy's story needs to explored more in conjuction with the current mutant magic-[A]- story.
Also Excalibur/Otherworld/Avalon need to have bigger presence in the Marvel Universe. The Sword of X seems like a step towards it. I hope Marvel keeps on the momentum.
