    - So much for Laura forging her own path. First she took the name, then "Enemy of the State", now "Old Woman Laura". Literally living off Wolverine's legacy smh.

    At least Storm is off Gold... for the time being anyway.
    The story line is the complete opposite.

    I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!

    It's not. The fact they're going with the whole "Old Woman Laura" thing is enough.

    I wish Brisson's editor slapped him in the face when he recommended a story with Evil Bishop.

    I'll be picking up X-Men Gold, Blue and Red along with the Wolvie books. Make sure and pick up Vemonized since that's where the O5 will be appearing.

    LOL I never cared for the original OML story in the first place, I'm just pointing out how Laura is literally living in Logan's shadow. I remember back when she took up the "mantle" people joked about a Old Woman Laura and now here we are. Laura as X-23 was an interesting character, but her tenure as "Wolverine" has done her no favors.

    Old Man Logan was never exactly a 'hero' again though, and never donned a new costume. So it's very clearly a different story.

    The last decent Laura story was the Civil War II tie-in. Everything else has been progressively crappier in my opinion. Hopefully, Taylor gets kicked off the book and replace with somebody who gets Laura.

    Because everyone going to call it that anyway, so why bother calling it anything else?

    Old man Deadpool, Old woman Doreen; Old [Sex identifying noun] [Name] has become a thing.

    Looks like I’m buying Cable and either OML or Hunt for Wolverine. Haven’t decided which version I’m throwing my money at in April, but it won’t be both.

Of course, given that this is a Wolverine story, I'm waiting for the inevitable dark secrets and hidden horrors and tragedies behind such a seemingly idyllic future to come out.
    good lord there is old woman laura now? marvel pls stop it
