For the first time in a very long time, Warren Worthington III, the high-flying Angel of the X-Men, has begun to get his life in order, but long ago, in a fit of rage and despair, he pledged his soul to a devil. Now, that devil has come to collect, and as the true extent of Apocalypse's plan begins to unfold, Warren must begin question himself and those he holds closest to his heart.
With her life irrevocably changed, Elisabeth Braddock, the X-Men known as Psylocke, must learn to cope with half a soul. Pregnant and with a burden of loneliness, Betsy must learn to live again and, at the same time, deliver her baby when the odds are stacked against her. In the end, the fractured soul she can no longer find will save her, and only then will she find the hope she is missing. Pulse is the sequel to Release.
In another time, another place, another world, lays a story of darkness and hope. Young, wealthy and married, Warren Worthington and Candy Southern harbour a horrible secret. Upon one fateful visit to the Westchester mansion, that secret becomes truth, and Warren must learn to live with the consequences with the sole help of one of the newest X-Men, the young and wounded telepath known as Psylocke. It is an Otherworlds tale of strife and love, a dark tale of despair and salvation.
On a Christmas Eve of sadness and loneliness, an Angel goes to mass to save a soul that has been misplaced in the joy, a heart that has been hurt in the past and a person who is lost in the season and needs to be found.
A glimpse into the mind reveals everything and keeps nothing hidden. On a night no different from the next, Betsy Braddock learns that playing with shadows is a dangerous game and fighting for your soul can be the greatest battle of all.
