A Girl Amongst the Bones
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. The story goes in to Laura's thoughts, made a weapon, while they were expecting a boy she did just fine. Wolverine brings Laura along to New York, to a case of missing De-powered mutants, summoned by Jubilee. But Laura just runs in to the streets of New York, this one shot is about X-23, and not the case of missing mutants.
Laura's thoughts about being caged, and experimented on are so deep, but she is making a point, X-23 is being used. She then goes on talking about when she used to prostitute herself, along with some graphic pictures. You know what Laura is not the only one with problems, she finds her old friend from New York, homeless, on the run, and broke, don't forget broke. Laura goes on remembering that with them is when she used to feel safe, but it hurts her to remember.
I found the whole issue very compelling and touching, with enough action to show Laura is a force to be reckoned with. I give this issue a 4 1/2, because to me it showed me how X-23 exist today due to Wolverine, and Wolverine is a part of her life. But he is not the only one, she has made friends, and more importantly X-23 is Laura, and she is freeing herself. I just want to congratulate the whole creative team of the issue Marjorie Liu writting, Filipe Andrade and Nuno Alves Pencils, with Jay Leisten, Nuno Alves, and Sandu Florea in Inks, and the colors by SotoColor and Nuno Alves. Sweet Sweet issue.
