Uncanny X-force #25 preview

[sherkahn]

ComicBookResources has the preview of X-Force #25 as the toll of their dark and dirty deeds begins to fall out.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*






Now that looks like a more plausibly Asian Psylocke than previous artists have drawn her.

Will Betsy stay? Or will the new threats remind her why X-Force was created in the first place.

Me either. But the whole concept of a white British woman occupying the Asian body of someone she's fought against strikes me as creepy racist in a weird way. Like, in itself?

[doomisay]

To be fair, I don't think Betsy fought Revanche until after they'd switched bodies in the first place.

[salinea]

... perhaps not. But I meant more from an out of story point of view.

[long_silence]

And then there's the whole cultural appropriation thing.

[kusonaga]

Wouldn't it be worse the other way around. Whitewashing an Asian woman?

[icon_uk]

I don't think either way round works well. The former smacks of a cheap gimmick to fake cultural diversity in your cast, the latter is an active rejection of cultural diversity.
