What is the release date for this series?

 

[Specter313]

First issue is out the last Wednesday in May. It was originally supposed to have been this past Wednesday I think, but something forced it to be pushed back.

 

[psylockolussus]

I'm digging the new uniform of Psylocke!

 

[Mad Ones]

I'm SO glad she ditched the bathing suit.

 

[psylockolussus]

Yeah I don't get why the artists keep going back to her most iconic costume, like she's been using it for decades and when they gave her a new costume, she only used it for a couple of issues and the bathing suit costume is back.

 

[javi1024]

Cuz that New Exiles costume she had before sucked. It was so plain and uninspired. When Fraction brought her back and teased us with the idea she'd be in her original body and old costume I got kinda excited, but then I guess you don't wanna convolute her character even more.

[OutcryX]

Ugh. I hate that Sentinel is always so easily compromised. Can we get Bedlam, Forge, Danger or Box...bad place, even Tony Stark to upgrade her systems from hacking??

 

[Generation Lee]

Did Beast say that he built Sentinel a new body? Last time we saw her she was only a head.

[javi1024]

She looks like the goth Black Cat. I really wished they stuck with her look from Messiah Complex.
