I enjoyed this, in particular Laura’s new beginning as the new Wolverine. She adopts the identity and makes it her own, setting new rules for what the title of Wolverine stands for. I know Marvel is planning on taking the title of Wolverine away from Laura and shunting her back to being X-23 and I think that’s a waste of potential.
A very good start to the series and the younger, less stabby Wolverine. There is a team up feel to these early issues with Angel, Dr. Strange, Wasp and several X-23 clones sharing the stage with a more thoughtful character than the Wolverine we are used to.
After watching "Logan," I quickly went in search of all I could find on X-23, Wolverine's . This is the first that came from the library, so I jumped in head first to story I had no idea existed until the movie.
This is one well written book. Clever and witty, I actually laughed out loud at one point. And plenty of pathos, as any good graphic novel will have. Plenty of crossover cameos and in jokes, too.
Engaging characters and a truly fresh spin on the Wolverine mythos. More, more!

This was really meh for a debut book that's supposed to replace a traditional and very much loved character. very disappointing.
hits most of the major points on rebooted female charters that I have noticed (based on a male version, trying to escape the shadow of said male version, not good at quips, missing parents, new location, some kinda female "mentor" (either Jessica Jones or Jessica drew). so the big internal conflict always seems to be "daddy issues".) but a better character than most as she was a character before X23. I liked them playing with the theme of "I'm the best there is at what I do..." pretty funny stuff. I even really like Gabby. seen the Antman thing in daredevil though. handy the nanobots had a distress signal. and why are all corporations bad? there is some redemption for the minor scientists to pin evidence on Chandler but why are all corporations in the Marvel U bad? (cause they clone clones and train them as assassins) but they only end up fighting themselves. I suppose it reflects public additive to Institutions in the RL but makes it kinda predictable and sad. will read more.
3,5* So Laura Kinney (formerly X-23) is the new Wolverine which in my opinion kind of makes sense since she's Logans clone but I guess some people are really not happy about it (there's a nice shoutout to this in this volume). I think it's quite fitting that Laura who's a clone of the original Wolverine has to deal with clones of herself in this volume. I quite liked the storyline although some of the clones felt a bit flat. The whole thing also reminded me a bit of Orphan Black especially because there's also something killing the clones... Like I said some of the characters were a bit one-dimensional (I also really didn't care about the villains) but I quite liked Laura and her struggle not to kill anyone and leave her dark past behind. I also really liked Gabby, who is the youngest of the clones, I hope she also shows up in the next volume especially because she also brought some humor to the story.
I really enjoyed this. I had no idea it existed, I knew about the event involving the original Wolverine (if you aren't aware you'll know within the first few pages and you have no need to know much beyond that as far as I know) and I didn't know how much I needed it in my life.
Laura Kinney is a clone of Logan. She was manufactured with the same abilities for the same reasons. She's had a father figure of sorts in Logan but she is very much her own Wolverine, for example she has no desire to kill anyone. She beats tons of people up, don't get be wrong, and she is well within her rights to do all kids of things but she doesn't. What she does do is care and care a lot about her fellow clones.
It's amazing, you owe it to yourself to read this.

Extra star because Laura is my boo.
I'm honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I've been a Laura fan for nearly a decade and it has been nice to see some growth and character development out of her. She's still a stoic badass, but her heart is out more and she has a dry sense of humor. I loved it.
The only thing that weirded me was the fact that she was dating Angel. I've been out of the X-Men loop for a while, but last I checked she was 17 and he was in his mid to late twenties. But you never know with comics.
