    I KIND of saw it coming the moment they took the helmet off and were shocked at what was behind it. Also: When did Gabby kill? I thought it had been previously established she hadn't.

    Yeah, that was her thing being the stainless pure innocent; maybe there'll be some big event in flashback, maybe it'll be the same event that incentivized Laura to take up X-23... but the flow makes it seem far more like a major continuity error then setup... what do editors get payed for again?

    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!

    When it's a character as new to the fold as Gabby, I tend to place equal blame on the writer. It's not like there were a lot of back-issues to go through.

    might have been when she was on the run with her sisters or at alchemac that's a big blank period for her. Also I don't think it was exactly stated she didn't kill anyone, it was more they keep the worst from her. And beside what xmen hasn't killed or committed a war crime

    spoilers:
    What is it with comic "fans" and their willful inability to comprehend stories as a cohesive whole, but instead choose to see them as a series of disconnected events? Just because they did not turn to the audience and explicitly state something as fact, does not mean they haven't unambiguously told you something (and I'm not sure they didn't in this case, I just don't feel like checking.). Everything about and surrounding Gabby says she is not a killer; or at the very least no one around her thinks she is, and she's trying very hard to live up to that perception. If it were to be revealed she killed someone is should have been a shocking dark secret reveal, or alluding to a recent event yet unseen by the audience; this did neither, it was matter of fact, so this is either a failure in basic storytelling, or a major continuity error. They tell you 4 lights are 5 and you always insist on seeing that fifth light, regardless of how glaring obviously it's not there.

    Bobby Drake in Mr. & Mrs. X is all of us when it comes to Laura.



    I mean, I get that there's been character development, and I grudginglly accept that, but god DAMN do I want more wholesale slaughter.
    Cyclops was SO DAMN RIGHT, BABY

    So i have decided when it comes to Laura and whitty one liners....i'm with Laura having a very very dry sense of humor.

    Like to the point when she makes a quip....everything stops and people are like "wait...did laura just make a joke?"

    very much less is more.
    Captain, in Order to build a better world, sometimes means tearing the old one down... And that makes enemies.

    Where are all these Lauras coming from? Amazon? I want one too.

    Art was good. I wonder where Tamaki will take this arc.

    Once again hoping that the Hooded Woman will turn up behind this.
