X-Men: A Skinning of Souls #[nn]

In "A Skinning of Souls Part Three: Harvest of the Innocent," the X-Men race to protect Illyana Rasputin from the terrifying Soul Skinner, whose reach extends into the heart of Russia. With the lives of her parents hanging in the balance, the team must confront both the villain and the devastating cost of war, as Colossus faces yet another loss in a battle that tests the limits of their resolve.

In "Digging in the Dirt," the X-Men grapple with personal loss and lingering shadows after returning from Russia, their bonds tested by grief and the weight of their past. When a second Betsy Braddock appears—her presence as sharp as a blade—Psylocke finds herself facing not just a doppelgänger, but a mirror reflecting secrets buried deep. The Hand’s illusions twist reality, and old wounds resurface, even as Omega Red’s ghost lingers in memory.

In "The Mask behind the Facade," the true origins of the two Psylockes are unveiled, revealing the complex legacy behind the woman known to the X-Men as Betsy Braddock—once Kwannon, an assassin whose mind was overwritten by Betsy’s memories after a harrowing journey through the Siege Perilous. Meanwhile, Cyclops confronts Mr. Sinister in the frozen wilds of Alaska, where secrets long buried begin to surface.

In "Leaning towards Oneself," the X-Men are pulled into a storm of psychological and physical threats as Professor X and Wolverine grapple with rumors of Magneto’s return, while Cyclops confronts the relentless Dark Riders. Amid the chaos, Betsy Braddock and Kwannon struggle to untangle their fractured minds, and the sinister legacy of Stryfe’s virus looms over the team.
