Laura Kinney: X-23 Appreciation 2019

[Havok83]

I stopped reading the Tamaki series bc there was too much emphasis on Gabby, even more so than Taylor. Its like she wanted to write a Gabby solo with Laura as her supporting cast and not the other way around

While I like Gabby, I think a lot of writers like the idea of Gabby as Jubilee 2.0 and just want to write her as such.

Tamaki’s run did appeal to me more than Taylor’s, it makes me wonder where she would have gone with things had it not been cancelled.
What I do think Laura’s stories suffer from is a lack of variety. All the ‘cloning blues’ have gotten stale quickly, especially with a character that potentially offers much more in terms of topics to explore.

While her dialogue was good, outside the first arc with the Cuckoos it was pretty meh.

Taylor giving her the motivation to hunt down the people who paid the Facility to use her was a great idea. I wish Tamaki had gone with that instead of going the tired clone route. Hopefully another writer picks that up eventually.

To this day I maintain the belief that OWL was not supposed to be the finale of Taylor's run but more of an intermission/bridge to the next big story arc which would have put the Laura's on a collision course. Which would have been REALLY enterprising for all parties involved.

Taylor giving her the motivation to hunt down the people who paid the Facility to use her was a great idea.

ESPECIALLY because it would have put her in conflict with Kingpin. There's a lot of great things that could have been done with that thread.

Laura working with the Orphans of X and hunting down the Facility and the people who paid for her services was such a cool idea that seems to have been completely abandoned.

In other words, business as usual for comics?

Yep. Seems like JDW on X-books completely derailed taylor's run

Now that Kid cable has a solo, I hope Laura will get hers

[Beaubier]

If Laura does get another solo, here’s my wish list for it:

1) Less “buffyspeak”, more stoicism.. personality more like the Tamaki book rather than the “grr argh I’m going to mount heads to walls” bs we see occasionally.
2) More time away from Gabby. Gabby more as a supporting character than a sidekick.
3) Reunions with her old friends and roles for them as supporting cast. Kiden, Gambit, Jubilee, Mercury, Dust, and Hellion specifically, and maybe Daken here or there.
4) Continue the Orphans Of X storyline.
5) Show and don’t tell her relationship with Logan to an extent, without relying on forced retcon flashbacks.
6) Let Laura be goth again.

If she's going goth again, she can get Daken to help her paint her nails black and do extra goth makeup

Was she goth enough here, nine years ago?

I’d like for her aunt and cousin to be mentioned too, even if just in passing. Now that Taylor’s run is over writers have forgotten they exist again.
