Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
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!
Then why not bitch about OML being a ripoff of Unforgiven? Or the many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many OTHER stories centering around an aging hero being pulled out of retirement because there are a whole frelling TON of them to pick from.
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.

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.
Every Rogue Book and X-men Blue.
Red, blue, gold
Astonishing
New mutants
Domino
Exiles
...wow that’s a great month! Anyone know if Exiles will continue to ship twice monthly?
