He takes an interest in her because of her Chinese heritage. Mandarin threatens Matsuo Tsurayaba, the leader of the Hand, for not controlling his ninjas, who attacked Mandarin as they pursued Jubilee.

Jubilee expresses her distrust of Psylocke, who herself is worried that she may again fall under the influence of the Hand. Logan accepts the risk and acknowledges that her probings of his mind may have unlocked ghosts and demons from his past, leaving uncertainty in his future as well. The three of them sail off into the sunset.

We cannot guarantee 9.8 copies. In some cases, it is possible for a comic shipped brand new from the publisher to already be in less than near mint condition due to the way the comic was produced, shipped, stored, or handled prior to purchase.
