It's a huge jump because Taylor didn't do any research or he just thought that he would just go straight to writing her as Linda Hamilton in Terminator . Ages do get retconned and it would be nice to see some character growth and organic evolution. But I don't think that we have any writers who have those writing chops who would like to address it.
I suppose that the age up was intended so she can take custody of Gaby, other way could sound a bit strange seeing a 17 years old living alone and taking care of another 12-13 years old girl. But yes sound a bit unbalanced compared to other characters. But well I also remember that in all new Wolverine one of the main villains in the arc of orphans of X was a man who is supposed to be 14 according with Innocence Lost, Writers really should get a age chart of something like that.
Looks like issue 12 is indeed the finale....no solicits for June as of right now
Captain, in Order to build a better world, sometimes means tearing the old one down... And that makes enemies.

For those of you who are fans of the K/Y version of X-23. You should really check out the film Alita. The character has a lot of the same parallel's to Laura including the Pinocchio theme.
Alita: Battle Angel, to give the film it's full name. It's based on a manga.

Battle Angel Alita pre-dates X-23, yes but Alita does have some similarities with her mannerisms and Laura.
For example: bad taste in dudes.
"Cable was right!"
I'd like a manga artist take a shot on her. Mainly Takehiko Inoue. Vegabond is amazing wish the hiatus would end
