A secret chapter of X-Men history is revealed this January in Psylocke: Ninja, a five-issue limited series written by Tim Seeley and drawn by Nico Leon. Following recent hit series like Rogue: The Savage Land and Emma Frost: The White Queen, Psylocke: Ninja further explores and adds startling depth to a character’s most defining era, taking place shortly after Betsy Braddock’s transformation by the Hand in the early ‘90s that turned the X-Men’s posh telepath into a deadly psychic ninja! Before she rejoins the X-Men, Betsy’s new body and skills are put to the ultimate test when she’s targeted by Marvel’s most lethal assassin–ELEKTRA!
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!
Check out the main cover by Derrick Chew, variant covers by Juan Frigeri and Nogi San, and a special foil variant cover by Dike Ruan and preorder Psylocke: Ninja #1 at your local comic shop today!

Au vu des (bonnes) ventes du premier numéro, j’ai l’impression que la “polémique” qui a précèdé cette sortie n’a été, au final, que beaucoup de bruits pour rien.
Qui est ?
Qu’une britannique blanche dans le corps d’une asiatique en 2025 c’était pas bien vu par certaines minorités.
Pinaise … 
ELEKTRA MUST DIE! The Hand has given Psylocke a brutal order: kill Elektra! Will Psylocke be able to resist the Hand’s control? And even if she can, how will she evade Elektra’s wrath?!
