@Squares: Celeste did in the very least. It was obviously not a happy decision she made.

@rokusan23: Both because he -is- charming, and because everyone thinks he is so badass. In the world of comics, dominated by males, the bad ass guy always gets the chicks, which is simplistic, to say at least. If you look at Wolverine, he is ugly, short, stocky-built and full of rage. He has all the traits of a redneck wife-beater. How charming he could be, really?

@Rabbitearsblog: Man, when I wrote this I had no idea that Laura was going to get involved in cosmic adventures and eventually going to the Avengers Academy... I think she and Julian are going nowhere fast the way things are developing! ><

@rokusan23: I had high hopes for Liu's run, she loves the characters and banks on character development. Thing is... Laura's problems are personal and rooted on 'reality', while cosmic things tend to... well... I just can't see the mutant underage prostitute living in the same universe as Reed Richards.

@rokusan23: It sorta happened. I am just worried Laura might be following Wolverine's footsteps in being so all over the place that she has no continuity or personality to speak of.

@Squares:

Well, if Mephisto can make the whole Marvel Universe forget about Peter's identity, then it's safe to say he knows who Laura is. Problem is... it doesn't make it any more reasonable, what happened.

@Squares:

And I am not stating otherwise. Thanks for the comments, though.

@Squares: Thing is, even if their hearts were still diamond, it doesn't make much sense. If they struggled so much with the idea of being forced to live without their feelings in Phoenix: Warsong, why wouldn't they change them back?

Leave all mutant titles. Please.

I am a huge fan of Laura, and to be honest I am very glad they stopped her comic book.

X-23 is a very intense character, despite her emotional problems and fragile self-awareness, and the books were taking her, in my opinion, towards the wrong direction. Her problems come from a broken "home" and fundamental wrongs that have come to pass with her, not cosmic things and super powered beings.

Her story and her whole character were set deeply into a real world. She didn't have omgsuperpowers, she had training. She wasn't fighting off a dark alien symbiont, she was fighting her own flaws as a human. When it all became a matter of cross-overing her with cosmic stuff, FF, and so on, the series lost it's track.

FF is not the kind of team who deals with prostitution and stolen childhood, nor does Spiderman or anyone like that. They are unidimensional super heroes at worse, and unprepared to deal with those things at best.

I loved the art, at one point I even liked the script, but Laura belongs with herself and, maybe after that, with her friends in the X-Men (Cessily, Julian, Sooraya).
