Exploding out of the pages of X-MEN, Psylocke descends into the underbelly of the Marvel Universe! She was made for violence! Trained to be an assassin since birth, Kwannon chose to be an X-Man. But there are still some jobs too dirty for the X-Men. And some paths must be walked alone. When the mission is brutal, Psylocke unsheathes her blades to punish those who prey on mutants, carving out her own place in a world that would rather see her under control! But with blood on her hands - and her membership in the X-Men revoked - Psylocke's new life is already crumbling. Can she still be the hero the world needs her to be? What role will Shinobi Shaw play? And will the help of her lover, John Greycrow, be enough to turn the tide? Collecting PSYLOCKE (2024) #1-5.
