It's....OVER?

Laura being a super awesome babysitter, going on a night out with Jubilee where she is recruited to the Avengers by Natasha Romanov and decides to join. Doing something for herself, what's best for her.

The best panels:

A re-read. There's something about X-23 when they get her right. And the art can be a little off, as long as the writer knows who she is. And even having Jubilee and Gambit and Hellion in the book doesn't detract. Two small stories in this one. Babysitting and a road trip. Shouldn't have added much, but done well.

So Marjorie Liu is flipping amazing. I know I'm the last one on that train but GOOD GRIEF this is just artfully done.

Also I really like Phil Noto's art.

This was a near-perfect blend of crack (X babysits for Franklin & Valeria Richards and the kids build a portal to a dragon world) and ~feelings~ (Julian, Remy, Logan, Jubilee, FEELINGS). Also I'm so stoked for Laura to join Avengers Academyyyyyy!

Also the art is pretty.

Also I was bummed that Laura and Natasha only interacted for like four panels. I would like for Laura to grow up and be an Avenger and be besties with Nat please.

An update; a review of the entire series:
I enjoyed this arc! Some of the art was absolutely awesome, just shining off the page. I loved reading Gambit, X-23's and Jubilee's relationships development, and they were super fun to see play off each other. A lot of action the whole way through, and plenty of side characters pulled in and out- although there was a LOT happening, and occasionally I could have done with a bit more of a breather to actually explore Laura herself and how she was changing, rather than simply thrown into the next mini-chapter of who she was about to meet (and probably, fight). I appreciate that it made every single issue a fun read, but it was a bit jarring to be thrown from one event to the next in succession.
