Preview looks good, wish we had that art for the whole book.
Magnetolocke is always drama, glad this is continuing the trend. I think she'll put the pieces together by the end of it, which is why they'll be after Emma in the new book >

The preview does look really good. I have my problems with Bunn, but if he can give me more of this Psylocke and not just relation to Magneto, then good on him.
Re: Rogue and Gambit
I've always found Psylocke's relationships with them to be oddly interesting. Rogue and Psylocke do seem like friends to me but definitely in a more "shallow" way than say her and Logan. Their relationship is like a playful competitive rivalry. "Work friends" as Psycwave put it also fits. Her relationship with Gambit has always been sort of a tough nut to crack. They didn't seem to trust each other, but there's definite hints he cares or cared about her, it's hard to say what if anything she feels about him. Both relationships have potential for more depth. Note: more depth in the latter relationship's case does not have to mean they fall in love and make a bunch purple haired, red eyed babies. In both relationships cases, it just means they have more shared experiences, they bond more you see more facets to the relationship.
Now whether whoever is writing this book is interested in exploring any of this is a big question mark for now. But all 3 of them being in a book together makes me happy.Last edited by Psyknight; 03-09-2017 at 01:27 PM.

Okay so the book is officially Astonishing X-men and is going to be written by Charles Soule. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is he the one who wrote the embarrassing IvX #6?

He was also just on his twitter saying that Psylocke has a huge role to play in this story. Yay?

It looks like you and I will be begging for Mr.Bunn to take over the book... Originally Posted by Psyknight

Bishop is a breath of fresh air at least.

"Yay?" is the perfect way to put it. I'm not sure what I should feel. Originally Posted by Psycwave

It's beginning to look like that. Originally Posted by Selene

Yep, this feels a bit like a punch to the ovaries.

I mean, honestly, I didn't hate Soule's work on She-Hulk or Daredevil so part of me is optimistic. The other half just remembers what just went on in IvX though and groans so loudly. One could argue it was because he was the active Inhumans writer at the time and had to paint them in a specific light but still. Only time will tell. Originally Posted by Psyknight

Right, I keeping reading from others that he's good outside of IvX. It's the question of how much of his depiction of Psylocke in IvX is the editors and how much of that is him that's really making me apprehensive. Even if it was all due to the editors, how do we know they won't interfere in a similar way on this book? Originally Posted by Psycwave

Right. I've never read his other stuff, but it was clear his Inhumans push and IvX were editorial mandated. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Originally Posted by Psycwave

Yeah basing his talents on an annual "event" is very dangerous, as they're always terrible and nonsensical.

His investment in the cast of characters will determine how this goes,IMO.He can be like Mike Carey and suffer tight editorial regulation,but still be able to produce solid work...Or he can end up like Fraction,with lots of creative leeway and iffy results simultaneously;and Fraction's work for Iron Man,Thor and Hawkeye(though I have not read that one)was brilliant.
Irrespective of who gave the order for IvX,what I've read from Soule is reason alone to worry.
And God help us if they assign the art duties to Greg Land again.
