X-23 #12 Preview

We'll see. The characters certainly aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

[MarvelMaster616]

Just read this book. Sad to see it end, but I think it ended on a solid and open note. Who knows where things will be once Hickman takes over and leads the next relaunch. I'm sure Laura will have a place in it. I hope Gabby and Jonathan do as well. They've certainly proven themselves with this series and All-New Wolverine. Definitely worth picking up.

I liked it

That was a resounding, eh. Can't say I'm a fan of the name change, she hadn't had Honey Badger for long and going from something as colorful as that to something so aggressively banal as Scout. Maybe if it had been jumping off from a better story, but even if X-assassin hadn't been a mess of continuity errors, it would have still been an exercise in uncompelling squandered potential... honestly the second half if this series wasn't worth picking up.

I'm going to miss this series so much. But I hope it sets the stage for a larger Wolverine family of books down the line.

Is there anything you don’t like?

How can u miss this poor series?

[Triniking1234]

Laura outsold Rogue, Domino and Shuri.

I have no regrets.

I kind of agree. The last arc or two were something of a letdown. Besides largely being retreads of the superior Four Sisters, it just didn't feel like there was a lot of weight behind it.

[Tycon]

We could’ve had spoilers:

Talon and Scout. I’m going to miss Gabby’s codename because it spoke to her character. Taking on the name of a boring cliche in a story that was literally a retread of the first arc of a previous book sucks. Also this codename foreshadows Laura never getting separated from this goblin.

[Digifiend]

I wouldn't be surprised if that gets undone when Gabby next appears after Age of X-Man. spoilers:

Also, this is almost certainly a continuity error, as X-23 is set before the new Champions run, which mentioned "Honey Badger" in the first issue as one of the team's new reinforcement members. Champions #3 takes place after UXM #10, but only a week after Champions #1/LGY#28. So Gabby changed her name in that week?

end of spoilers

And what does Tom Taylor think, I wonder?

[Snoop Dogg]

spoilers:

While the old name was certainly more appropriate for the character as is, going to something more straight would be good if they wanted to make Laura's book harsher again while keeping X-Twitter's Lovechild/CBR's Scrappy around.

[DAHX]

I'm really disappointed in the final issue and in the name change....

And what does Tom Taylor think, I wonder?

I was thinking the same... Everyone loved the name Honey Badger so much, it was one one of the highlights of the previous series, there were tons of tweets for Taylor long after it, why was this weak name change even necessary? I do hope it will be ignored in future comics and that Tamaki won't continue writing Laura and Gabby... Honey Badger is much more fitting for Gabby's personality and much more memorable.

This book ended describing itself. A lame turkey.

Yea and the fact that the “clones” in this turn out to be spoilers:

turkeys

end of spoilers felt a bit anticlimactic. Also on the note of comparing the Four Sisters arc to the last 2 in here, I find it’s kinda messed up that they referenced both Zelda and the cyborg clone as their sisters but there’s no mention of Bellona.

[Tycon]

spoilers:

I do agree that this entire maxi was showing Gabby’s transition from teenybopper, adorkable X-kid into her own developed person. I just wish the name wasn’t so...generic? Maybe she should’ve been called Talon. It would’ve also fit in with the turkey thing going on this issue, too
