Yoshii delivers amazing art in the issue. I not only loved the character designs, but the creatures were beautifully designed and visually scary. Read Full Review
I thoroughly enjoyed X-Men: Blood Hunt Psylocke #1. It was a fun read as well as having the darkness and grittiness that I love. I can't wait to see more of Psylocke! The Blood Hunt event continues to be a treat to readers and fans! Read Full Review
While it will most fully appeal to those with prior investment, or at least curiosity about, the Psylocke character, X-Men: Blood Hunt Psylocke #1 is a stellar outing for the fan-favorite mutant ninja. Read Full Review
Another good one shot Blood Hunt tie in. I'm a big fan of the characters and the budding relationship is enjoyable to watch. Nothing deep or heavy here, just a solid little add-on to the main story.
A solid story here in what I would call the best of the X-Men one-shots for Blood Hunt so far. That said, I wasn't huge on some of the dialogue, though Yoshii's art was nice throughout.
"X-Men: Blood Hunt: Psylocke #1" delivers a disappointingly generic storyline that fails to offer any fresh insights into the character of Psylocke. The plot is clichéd and could easily be about any other character, lacking any unique elements that set Psylocke apart. Despite her striking aesthetic, this issue highlights Psylocke's lack of depth and substance needed to carry a solo series. It's been five years, and yet we learn nothing new or compelling about her. This issue ultimately proves that while Psylocke may have the visual appeal, she still lacks the necessary character development to be a standalone protagonist.
