Goodness, yes, that issue -- there I was at my friend K's house post-sleepover, age roughly 12, and she had an early morning soccer practise, so she left a pile of comics for me to read when I woke up. She had tried to get me hooked on X-Men before, with no luck, but the top issue in the stack was that particular one (#213!) where Psylocke deals with Sabertooth, and I was absolutely sold and devoured the rest of the stack, feeling vaguely disappointed that not every single issue was Psylocke Handles It All.

It's a fantastic intro to both Psylocke and the title as a whole! But especially Psylocke.
