In "A Skinning of Souls Part One: Waiting for the Ripening," the true origins of the two Psylockes are finally unveiled—revealing Kwannon, the assassin imprinted with Betsy Braddock’s memories, and Revanche, the original Psylocke. As Cyclops confronts Mr. Sinister in the frozen wilds of Alaska, the past begins to unravel in ways that will redefine everything fans thought they knew. Written by Fabian Nicieza and brought to life with sharp, atmospheric art by Andy Kubert and Mark Pennington, with colors by Joe Rosas and letters by Bill Oakley, the cover by Kubert and Pennington captures the tension of a story long simmering beneath the surface.
