A picture would last longer darling...
Well he did say “i brought it for you” but even if he hadn’t I would think she’s already assumed hence the whole “go stick it on the sigil.” If he was intent to use it himself he didn’t need to come on this part of the journey. He was probably thinking he’d give it to her and she’d give him back the amulet.

This is a bizarre interaction. I'm seeing everyone thinking Betsy has some sort of weird passive aggressive complex about the sword, when the entire reason they're coming is to bring it because the conflict requires it.
Ugh, she's just the worst.
Whoever does this is going to be putting their life on the line for Krakoa. The bolded 'come get me when you need someone to go through the gate!' makes it sound like she's mocking him for being human. Is she angry that she thinks HE'S been chosen for this? I'm just really, really confused.

I love the lack of energy that this book keeps delivering. You go, Tini, give us nothing again, girl!
You know, a lot of the previews aren't the very first pages of the books. We are probably missing some context here. But judging by her saying she'll keep the amulet and the narration about how she was thrust into the role of (a resented) CB without any time to even comprehend her own new skin, her storming off is clearly a response to the mounting doubts harbored against her. Oh also plus the severity of the situation (the 10v10[9?]).
I really can't tell why it's so difficult for people to understand what's going on. If anything, it's a little heavy-handed in its delivery. Y'all were expecting hugs n kissez & tea time or what
Also since Kirby is so confused why she would smugly say call me when u need me..... precisely because she's mutant and they always need her, but currently is resented because she's mutant. That's not hard to parse... nvm

Man, I maintain Marcus To is a great artist (psycwave's avatar - gorgeous!), but R.B. Silva really fits the vibe of the title so well.
Resented for being a mutant? She literally helped apocalypse make a giant portal that let the demon army in, lol. And wasn’t Brian supposed to bring that sword? To follow the prophesy? (Which wouldn’t be a thing, if there wasn’t a demon army...)

I didn't get that at all from the talk. First she's angry at Brian for bringing the sword that he's supposed to bring, then assumes he wants to use it himself before stomping off and being snide. I haven't seen anything in Excalibur to think she'd be resented by Brian because she's a mutant. Saturnyne might not like her, but that's more to do with favoring her brother.
You are definitely right about the preview pages. But that just raises the question of why they chose these pages? Its not a great way to sell the story.
"Cable was right!"
So wait. Brian went and retrieved the sword that he asked Betsy to hide? Off panel (like almost everything else in this book)? Did Saturnyne tell them about who needs to get what sword? I’m hoping there are more pages before these, but this is classic Tini writing if there aren’t pages before where everything happens off panel. Where were they when everything was happening on Otherworld? Chilling in the Castle? I can see Betsy not wanting the sword since she told Brian to take it, but that reaction.
