Is Laura about to get an...extreme makeover adamantium edition?

=O !!!!!!!!!!!! 

I'm aware, could just be a cover. Interesting concept though.

I can't wait for this! The "Not Forgotten" arc will be awesome. I really want to know if Hellion's going to live, though, the ending might have been spoiled in the fact that Surge is alive in Uncanny #509 (however, it's quite possible that this issue was et before "Suicide Leper").

As for Laura, my guess would be that she'll get captured by the HAMMER Agents, Morales and someone else, who are after her.
I could see her being captured after X-Force have savedHellion and Surge from near death at the UN building (I hope).

Yes, it's just the cover.  And she's already got shiney shiney claws, so I'm guessing that it's just HAMMER keeping her sedated.  This does seem to be the issue that everything's been building up to...

Laura's also on another cover this month. 

Aww Lauras cute. Hope she kills Norman Osborn for me.

...Does Wolverine have a metal arm...?

The glove he's wearing or something looks like it's made of metal or something. But it may be just me and my lack of sleep. :]

Oh yeah... shiney glove.  I don't think Marvel would go for yet another metal armed mutant.  Not just yet :p

On the other hand, it looks like Daken's getting his bones bonded with some sort of metal...I wonder if it's the Muramasa that he's getting bonded to him. ;o

I have no idea, but apparently that's his plan since taking it from Cyclops. I would imagine it would negate his healing factor, too. They'll probably BS some excuse.

OH MY GOD!!! X-23 VS DAKEN!!! I THINK I JUST CREAMED MY PANTS!!!

You said it...and because K&Y are a @&(!&@$)*!($%_#@!!!#!@*)*#@! (i think i just invented a new swearword), they'll do it just before Hellion and X-23 have a moment of screen time. Or just as they are having one.

The reason I wonder about the adamantium is because Laura's covered in the spikes, like Logan was when he received the implants. Remember, the plan was to coat Laura's skeleton, but she was too young, and they were afraid it would retard the growth of her bones. She's not growing in size that much anymore...I wouldn't be surprised if that's the next step--fits the description too: "The fallout from MESSIAH WAR continues! X-23 is missing, and as horrific as her life has been...it's about to get worse."

Can't wait!

Also, I support a Daken vs. X-23 fight. Daken's actually going to enter a fic I'm writing ATM. And if you're talking about Daken seeming to have two claws...his third one is on the inside of his wrist. Just like Laura has the third claws in her feet. They all have three but in different areas, for various reasons. Also I read it suggested that Daken's claws are kerotin, because they are dark and not bone-white like Logan's and Laura's.

And, I agree with the continuity. I looked at the Dark Avengers cover and I was like...wtf, come on, she's in the effing future... I've already made my annoyance over Nori's appearance in 509 known. Laura's also appearing in 510. I know how they're going to explain Laura's being in three places at once: she's not the only clone. She didn't notice a few bubbles when she was destroying them in Innocence lost. There! Problem solved! I will sell that idea to marvel for $3.99, plus shipping and handling.

When it comes to continuity I usually wait until the story is over, no matter how meny comics it is spread over (usually six issues now-a-days) then count that as one day (unless it says in the story the following day or two weeks later) and then try to figure out its place in continuity. Its a little easier then, and more believable that Wolverine can be in every comicbook every week!

As for Laura's cover... I'm not even going to try and figure out what will happen. Because no matter what I think, K&Y will make it three times worse (i.e. Hellion-Surge-BoomBoom)!

While the cover for 19 has Laura and Logan fighting four maybe five clones of Laura (there wearing the facility uni's) and 20 has here broken into pieces on the cover. So I’m thinking her life getting worse may have nothing to do with bonding but more with what goes on inside her head she's not all there sometimes.

So it could be a what/who is Laura Kinney story

As for Daken he has the murmasa coated blades sheathed in adamatim on the lower claws and the rest of his skelton is coated in adamatim iirc from wolverine origins. The tinkerer did the work for him in exchange for something.
