    IE, I'd have used Secret Wars to do it. Wolverines set up that Destiny saw the multiverse couldn't survive without Wolverine. So make Laura one of the survivors of the Incursions, and she takes on the Wolverine name right before fulfilling whatever purpose Destiny foresaw for Logan. You have a neat prophecy twist: Destiny saw Wolverine doing something to save the Multiverse...she just got wrong WHICH Wolverine. And you make Laura taking up the cowl become a high-profile moment by putting it at the climax of a major event. It would have made for a great narrative, and may have silenced some of the backlash resulting from Marvel just tossing her into the cowl after a time skip by making it feel more "earned."

    The second misstep was how they USED her as Wolverine...which was hardly at all.

    And then we didn't even get to see her give up the cowl, or what led her to make that decision. All we got is a flimsy handwave of, "I'm hunting people who made me and I want them to know why."

    All of this just emphasizes that Marvel was never really serious about her having the cowl or developing her in a meaningful way.

    Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if Laura wouldn't have been better off being part of a Creator Owned series rather the Big Two. Hill having her talk about being in Logan's shadow in Fallen Angels fell flat from a character perspective, but on a meta level honestly isn't too far off the mark.
    I always felt like Laura taking the mantle of Wolverine was earned by what she had to overcome on her life.

    Sure that a story over her taking th emantle would make it cooler.

Hopefully she gets a permanent spot and/or solo in 2020 with FA going on hiatus
    Laura was a very successful character in the comics and on the big screen too, it kind of shocks me how much the x office sidelined her after Logan came back… they should utilize her success, it would be so easy for them. But instead it seems like there’s no plans or direction for her at all :/

    Really, the incompetent decisions, uhh...

    yeah, but she should be a main character on a team, not just showing up in Logan's solo or team. Same for Daken

She's been downright spectacular four episodes in; Marvel seriously needs to get her signed on to reprise X-23, this kid is for real.

    I also find it mildly amusing that she's now had BOTH Professor Xaviers playing opposite her as father figures (Stewart in Logan as a surrogate grandfather, and McAvoy plays Lord Asriel in HDM).
    Brits can see that on BBC One.

    yeah, but she should be a main character on a team, not just showing up in Logan's solo or team. Same for Daken
    and thats the biggest problem. There doesnt seem to be any direction for her. We as fans have no idea where she's heading as there is no character arc or apparent plan in place for her

    Not so sure about Daken. but Laura is really a spotlight character that deserves her own narrative on a appropriate book,.
    hard to believ ethat she is supporting character to Kwannon

    and not even a good supporting character as she adds little to Kwannon's narrative

    I said Daken for a different reason-he isn’t a spotlight character like Laura, but he’s usually just a disposable plot device for Logan, which is hardly a beneficial role to have. so I think he also needs to have something else on his own not just showing up in Logan’s solo. Having some new connections with other characters and being on a team could help him get away from his usual treatment. As for Laura, it’s a shame that Marvel was literally using the Wolverine popularity to sell her but it was immediately taken away when Logan came back and she just got relegated first to X-23 again without a good explanation, then to a Logan copy in disassembled and then to an ooc supporting character in FA, from a popular solo run… Initially I didn’t mind too much that she stopped using the Wolverine title, because I honestly thought it just meant that Marvel was going to give her a new -and important- place, probably with Logan, but I never expected to get what we have now…

    Didn't someone here say that Marvel "had plans" for her in the post-Krakoa era or something? I thought it came up several pages back.

    I only believe when it is a insider, like that Bishop guy and even him sometimes get things wrong. things change very fast on comics.

    I think, Percy having plans of her in x force maybe wolverine. Other then that nothing. Unless there following Cassandra cain in witch case.... she'll randomly be a kill happy leader of a army of assassins because she was off paneled roofyed by not deathstroke, then leading her to be a underused side character with the publisher stating shes too damaged, leading to a return where they **** on her legacy making her a side kick so somone character who people literally forgot existed could take over the mantle DC is using fox's son so marve would have random Logan kid #(insert random number) take over in a insult to the fans. (Did I mention DC using fox's kid as the new batman over dick, jason, tim, damion, and cassandra is a stupid idea)

    what do you mean post Krakoa? This staus quo will last for years probably. Laura will be in the Wolverine solo and X-Force but I think those are going to be guest appearances for a few issues.

    Well, they just quickly made the mysterious Logan daughter not so long ago… They’re selling the related Marvel Comics Presents issues as ‘Wolverine: The Daughter Of Wolverine’ for tpb. Any chance she will show up in Krakoa? Maybe the writers want to establish her too, so she can be the real daughter of Logan...

    yeah, that's my hope too. they also ditched the hot claws, thank God, and most of the things Soule wrote. But they still greenlit Rien too just recently, so idk... But I'm really grateful for Percy taking over the Wolverine titles

    RIEN

    UGH

    There was an interview a while back with a Marvel editor who said Laura was made X-23 again for marketing reasons. I actually got snippy with him on Twitter about how the version of Wolverine he loved was a version that emphasized everything I thought was bad about the character. Now I'm regretting not getting snippy about giving Laura her slave name back with 0 explanation only to cancel her book and relegate her to Psylock Sidekick

    That editor is an idiot. The name of the comic doesn't have to match the name of the character, for starters. And Taylor had written Laura as not liking the X-23 designation. If marketing was the reason, then call the comic X-23, fine - but she could've still been calling herself Wolverine. And now Gabby's missing too? The change of X-Men editor has screwed Laura over.
