Seeley explained in a Marvel press release:
“PSYLOCKE: NINJA is a sort of spiritual successor to Rogue: The Savage Land—essentially, taking an iconic moment from X-Men history, finding unexplored avenues, plots, and character relationships to dive deep into–and then dressing it up in the sexiest art and X-uniforms. For Psylocke, the story of her forced servitude to the Hand, and how that might tie nicely into concurrent Daredevil stories from the same era was REAL INTERESTING, because my god, it all fits.”
Artist Nico Leon added:
“As soon as I saw the subject PSYLOCKE: NINJA in my inbox, I was all in,” Leon shared. “I’ve been a ninja fan since forever. Most artists love drawing for fun, but for me, the real joy is in the study: breaking down poses, action, rhythm, backgrounds. Apply that to anything with the word ‘ninja’ on it and it’s the perfect recipe to make me feel like a kid with a brand new plastic katana. Diving into the martial roots of Psylocke and Elektra is going to be a blast, there are so many visuals to explore and so far I’m loving every panel in this project.
Huge kudos to Tim and Darren.”
