X-23 #2

[das_boot]

Spoiler: show

Laura continues to avoid telling Gabby when her birthday is after pondering how strange it is to be both a clone and a mutant and how strange death is for someone who is both. The remaining Cuckoos find Sophie dead. Laura tracks down the doctor via her FitBit and Gabby shows up, claiming Laura told her to come. The Cuckoos attack and Gabby’s kidnapped by the time Laura recovers, presumably so that the Cuckoos can find what makes her a workable clone of a clone so they can save Esme (who’s still evil. Of course.

Was super excited to see this today, is it bi weekly?

Loved this. I never really thought about the clone link between Laura and the Cuckoos. Gabby’s inclusion here is great and it has a very strong plot tie-in. I like how the Cuckoos aren’t being “evil”, they want their sister to live and they know that getting that result may paint them as villains. Laura’s role as a big sister/guardian really suits her here. This title is very much a worthy follow up to the previous series.

Im loving it and I secretly hope we havent seen the last of Sophie...

[das_boot]

Same. It’s weird to think how much the Cuckoos and laura have in common until it’s explicitly stated. I really hope this develops into the Cuckoos becoming supporting cast in this book and they join Laura in going against the Weapon Plus program

Also,can we talk about the cow-mutant walking around the mansion?

As always, Cabal can do no wrong in the art. The attack spread page is glorious and the use of red in the white outline managed to convey the psychic sublimely. The story is engaging and the use of the Cuckoos as non-villainous antagonists is great specially with the parallels between them and Laura. Also I want an one-shot starring X-Cow.

I loved that.

The artist for this series is great. I'm glad I took a chance on this title, the first two issues have me intrigued and I really hope the good Cuckoos become part of the cast. Gabby is a joy, and Laura really feels like a whole new, amazing character between this and Red. I wish Logan could stay gone for a while longer, because I really want her to be Wolverine for the X-Men right now. She's just got more stuff going on for her than Logan has in years, as much as I love him as the gruff uncle of my fave X-girls.

I will say this: I do love the relationship between logan and laura and kinda want to see how he’ll treat Gabby...alot of modern writers have done a good job of really making sure Logan is the avuncular figure in their lives and I like that...So at least if he’s back, let Laura continue to develop as her own person too.

One of my favourite Marvel books at the minute. Great art, love the writing, and the Cuckoos are pretty interesting as "villains" too. Also Gabby.

I kinda wish she and the comic wasn't called X-23 though, I loved her as Wolverine. Laura might have worked but I think she should've got a new code name especially with Gabby being Honey Badger.
