Can’t resist this.
An X-23 ongoing? I’m not exactly sure why I love this character so much, but this book excites me like no other this week.
@t-bird32: Agreed. It’s weird.
I’m actually embarrassed to pull this, but I need my fix
Must have…
New X-men made me really like her character. Its Wolverine meets Terminator meets young teenage girl. I think she works better as a character in a team book, but I will certainly give this a shot.
embarrassed is correct
So far, Wolverine’s and Salem’s respective titles have been good, and I’m curious to see how this book ranks in the new SNICKT-verse. This should be good.
I liked this issue. I like the whole "girl trying to not be what she alwyas has been" theme
I don’t think this is a very good first issue. What’s the story? What’s the conflict? Where’s this going? We should have some sense of these things as a hook for the first issue. Laura has psychological issues, yes. We already knew that. She’s supposed to help former mutants, I guess. Not enough meat here yet.
Wasn’t feeling all the stuff with the other X-Men. I’ve been mostly away from the franchise for a bit and cannot connect with the current status quo. All I could think about was how stupid it is that Hellion is missing his hands in those scenes. Jumping right into X-23’s new story would’ve been preferable for a reader like me.
The art and coloring was probably the deal breaker. I don’t mean to crap on this book so much and I want to like it but they’ve given me no reason to read the second issue here.
The characterization of X-23 was great in this book. She felt authentic. Based on this and the one shot that came out several months back, there’s no doubt that Marjorie Liu gets this character.
I know some folks are grumbling about the art, but I did like how it was used creatively to contrast between the two realities and the corresponding emotional states of the characters.
I think this was a good jumping on point! It explained that Laura has run the gammat like wolverine, good, bad, and lots of grey. And not sure where she is going next, a lot like Wolverine. The interior art was pretty good despite the crappy overly cartoony cover. If there is only room for one Wolverine-eque chrachter, I vote X-23 over Daken ANY DAY!
Agreed. The cover was "grade-school goth" but the interior art made up for it. I LOVE this character. She’s so broken and misunderstood. My Magic 8 Ball tells me her volunteering will help her learn about humanity and her character will hit an emotional growth spurt.
I read this because I loved Liu’s Black Widow. I have no idea who most of these people are. Have the feeling I am missing vital background that would make this make sense to me…
My Magic 8 ball suggests that all the x-mutants she went to help are dead and she is presently drenched in their blood. At least that is how I read the scene. She will think someone pheromoned her into murder, when in fact demon wolverine did it.
Or so says my 8 ball.
