Am I a bad girl?
The Story - As Laura tries to figure out if she can fit in the X-Men, scpecially with her relationship with Hellion and the other younglings, she´s tormented by dreams from the depths of hell, or is that just what has ever controled her? Scott, consumed by guilt, tries to show Laura that there´re other ways, but everything appears to lead to killing for X-23.
The Writing - This was an interesting book,´cause it´s all about dialogues. Marjorie Liu made a consistent opening series with mostly dialogues boxes, instead of narrative ones. There´re very good pieces of information about the X-Men in those dialogues: how Storm misses Kurt, how Emma feels that she made a mistake with Laura, how Logan feels that Laura´s nature is for the killling, how her friends felt betrayed by Laura´s joining X-Force and never telling them. I´m looking foward to see issue # 2 and following how X-23´s fate will tangle with Logan´s (and the whole from Hell thing, how the devil is luring Laura into the pitts of Hell).
The Art - Amazing art by Will Conrad, another Brazilian proving his value in the business. Totally worth it. He´d penciled a lot of characters, different scenarios with the same precision and skill. Only a scene I didn´t like: Hellion´s arm after he tried to move the leaf from Laura´s hair, it looked a little weird (too short and small). Despite that, excelent art from this book.
The Verdict - This issue was about feelings, conversations and setting things straight for everybody. Next issue, some questions will be raised and answered. I´m having a good feeling about this book.
