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!
So the monkey was also a zombie wizard ?
I think it’s from Dungeons & Dragons or some old role playing game. Seems odd for Laura to say it.
It's just one sentence but damn that's an odd choice. If you want to go so specific and geeky you better tailor it to the character. Sure we can say Gabby taught her. We can probably come up with a reason for any character to say it if we dig enough. Witch is foremost a comment on the work fans can do and not on the nature of marvels characters.
It just's so random. Duggan just don't seem to be able to write a decent Laura. I'm not sure why. If there is pride in whatever this direction he sees himself on. From his interviews he strikes me as a person who sees his stubbornness and edge, percieved or not, as tools witch makes him a great writer. I find it unlikly that he will change his approach to Laura, even if fans where to make a campaign and bring it to his notice. If anything it would probably harden his resolve further.
Laura feels so out of character that I can't take it seriously. It will be very easy to forget this version when it ends.
EDIT: Liches are used in D&D and Blizzard/activision has used them extensivly in WoW and Diablo.

Crazy that you had to clarify that. I might just be a big nerd but I really expected that to be common knowledge. Y'all never had any connection with the fantasy genre? I mean even Voldemort from Harry Potter is pretty much a lich. He just lacks the undead part though his form is clearly not purely human either. Well anyway...
Laura had a tiny cameo in the Marauders Annual too
