Marvel Comics announced the upcoming release of Psylocke: Ninja, which explores Betsy Braddock’s early days as a ninja.
Psylocke: Ninja, a five-issue mini-series, is written by Tim Seeley, with art by Nico Leon.
BETSY BRADDOCK: MUTANT, X-MAN…NINJA!
Flashback to a time when Psylocke was reborn into the ultimate killing machine. What sacrifice did Betsy make to save the X-Men? Why did the Hand choose Psylocke to be their weapon? And what does it have to do with their former assassin…Elektra?! Discover the answers to these questions and more in a lost story from the X-Men’s past!
“PSYLOCKE: NINJA is a sort of spiritual successor to Rogue: The Savage Land—essentially, taking an iconic moment from X-Men history, finding unexplored avenues, plots, and character relationships to dive deep into–and then dressing it up in the sexiest art and X-uniforms,” Seeley explained in a press release from Marvel Comics. “For Psylocke, the story of her forced servitude to the Hand, and how that might tie nicely into concurrent Daredevil stories from the same era was REAL INTERESTING, because my god, it all fits.”
Psylocke: Ninja #1 arrives on January 21, 2025.
