Revisting the Past 0
X-23 1-shotThis was a good book. The character X-23 is definately living up to her title as Wolvie's clone. She seems to be the newest character trying to find her humanity, or even understand humanity. Kinda like a mutant version of Spock....well with, tits, adamantium claws, and a homicidal glee streak.It was nice to see some more of the character fleshed out. We witness her observe Wolverine and Jubilee's relationship, and are left wondering how she is processing it. Then we get to see her re...

A Girl Amongst the Bones 0
What a great Story! The beginning is really something you don't expect, because the issue starts with narration like a fairy tale, and very awesome art to go along with it.

But Laura just runs in to the streets of New York, this one shot is about X-23, and not the case of missing mutant...

A good look into x-23's character 0
For a clone of Wolverine, x-23 is very much different from logan. Aside from the obvious, male/female & 3claw/2claw comparisions,both Laura & Logan are very different in different ways.

Until recently, a major part of Logan's character has been his lack of memories and how he found it difficult to define himself with no knowledge of his past. But Laura has all of her memories, almost all of the...

Once upon a time... 0
This one shot is an elegant gothic fairy tale. I didn't know much about X-23 (Hell, I didn't know anything about her) prior to reading this other than blurbs about her being a Wolverine clone and both literal and proverbial girl of the streets. The writing is never self-indulgent or cliched. The art is unorthodox, but utterly beautiful. This book reaffirmed my love of comics, and introduced me to a character I intend to follow. ...

Revisting the Past 0
Laura Kinney, the X-Man known as X-23, is one of the most popular comic book characters created in the Modern era—even though she was originally created for X-Men: Evolutions cartoon. Because of this, her character is also one of the most abused. In the new “X-23” one-shot penned by Marjorie Liu (NYX: No Way Home and Dark Wolverine), Laura reunites with Kiden and Tatiana, homeless mutants that befriended her in the series NYX. Told in media res, Liu tells the story of a mysterious ...
