We've all see the recent comice covers fo X Force, and I can not wait for the Story Arch of X-23 which is coming on fast and a frined of mind on the site showed me this cover for X Force 20! And tell yah the truth things look bleak but that's why I like it! So basicly what do you think happens to her to cause all this hell that we've been seeing?

Possibilities: something happens to Julian
-Someone from her past returns to haunt her
-something bad happens to wolverine
-her trigger scent is used against her again...

ahh endless

It's posible they are able to create more clones seeing as there are more then one of her on that last cover.

"It's posible they are able to create more clones seeing as there are more then one of her on that last cover."

Something could happen to her, that makes her attack X-force..

They could just tell more about her past.

20 looks like an identity crisis

maybe she's going to get the full adamantium bonding

ends with sex

if she's captured though... what does that mean for Tabitha?

and why would people make her stronger?

Ooh, I like the analysis of 'identity crisis' for issue 20. I was thinking there were literally more clones of Laura...but that makes sense.

" It's posible they are able to create more clones seeing as there are more then one of her on that last cover. "

Anyone remember the X-Men & the Wolverine episode 'Foresight Part 2'?  Craig Kyle was one of three writers so I'm guessing he introduced the multiple Lauras in that story... and just as they did with X-23 from X-Men: Evolution and the MRD in W&tXM, they're bringing into the comics now...

Remember, though, that the concept was introduced back in X-23: Innocence lost. It was shown that she destroyed all the clone embryos; however, maybe she wasn't successful, or they made more.

Or this could be about identity crisis, as theorized. Maybe what happens is Laura DOES get adamantium implants, and the procedure breaks her mind and causes all sorts of new psychological trauma?

It could even be just Kimura coming back to get her, and proving that she's nothing more than a weapon. Or...heyoo, maybe Julian got kidnapped again (because, y'know, he just freed up a spot by getting rescued from the whole Legacy thing) and they use him to force her to do stuff! :-P  (I highly doubt that, but it'd fit with the amount of hostage work that boy does...he's doing, like, simultaneous dual kidnappings. Maybe he's got clones too! Oh my!)

Yup yup, all agreed. I'm content with this arc, very promising! As I've said before in some other thread, it's refreshing to have a comic that keeps me so interested in its plots =D

agreed with above i think old normie is gonna give her so lab work to use her against scott , he did say he wants scott summer dead only a few issues ago in dark avenegrs , and corrupting someone off scotts own black ops team seems normans style

Man, I can't wait to see more. It looks like this arc is really going to be interesting.

"It would seem that Agent Morales is indeed going to help her. I bet the one foe she's never beaten is Kimura!"

This isn't going to be the Clone Saga: X-Men Style is it?

I doubt it.  Laura is already a clone (albeit with a twist), but Kyle & Yost have never dragged the story down to anything on the Clone Saga's level.  I'm sure they'll keep us guessing right up until the end.  At least, I hope that.

Hahaha unless we get another tip-off from Mike Carey, bless his heart. (I am referencing the unintentional leak on Julian surviving the X-force ordeal).

Preview images of X-Force #18.  Nothing too spoilery: 
 

Gallery

Grrr, one awesome panel of Laura in captivity, one awesome panel of Domino reacting to Nori blowing up (which we've seen before)....and then three whole panels of preview wasted on the stupid wolf story -.-

From CBR's article on the X-Men Panel in Chicago, this seems to relate to the multiple Lauras cover: 
 
Asked whether Deadpool mentioning X-29 in "Messiah War" was a joke, Kyle smiled thoughtfully before answering. "Here's the thing. Chris and I probably have less issues ahead of us with X-23 than we do behind us," Kyle said. He saw his and Yost's role as "going from the guys who effed her up to the guys who protected her." "We're going to do every story we fear is in her future now" to prevent bad stories in future. "We want to establish her so that when someone effs her up, you'll scream about it." He said X-29 was a joke by Deadpool, but may also be true.      
 
If you look at the cover for X-Force #20 there are 6 Lauras.  X23 + 6 = X29??? 
 
There were also a couple of other snippets.  These were in response to fan questions: 
 
"There's a team coming up with Doctor Nemesis and X-23," Yost said. "They're both very happy people," Kyle added. 
 
Daken and X-23 will not have an incestuous sexual relationship, Kyle said, though a fan quipped that the writer just said he trying to tell all the potential bad X-23 stories. "That might be the one I don't tell."    

Aww, I really don't want to think about X-23 not being written by Kyle & Yost :-(  most writers just can't handle Laura. 
 
Also, Laura's going to be in a new team? o_O  Does this mean that she will be leaving X-force? Or, as Wolverine's clone, does she also possess the talent of being on like 10 different teams simultaneously?
