What are Laura’s (Wolverine) best issues/stories to read?

[Rift]

As far as the BEST stories:

X-23: Innocence Lost
X-23: Target X
Kyle/Yost New X-Men
Kyle/Yost X-Force
X-23 (Ongoing): The Killing Dream and Songs of the Orphan Child arcs (the first two arcs. The rest ignore important bits of continuity to force their plots to work, and also throw Hellion under a bus)
All-New Wolverine

Tbh I'd keep Misadventures in Babysitting. I know it's controversial, but the action is fun and the set dressing is pretty. Plus, this panel is really funny out of context.

It's been mentioned already but I second All-New Wolverine. It was my favorite series from the All-New, All-Different Marvel era.

Probably the only feel good Wolverine run in existence.

Thank you!!

Hell yea

I should reread Enemy of the State. I remember the art being rough, even tho Nik Virella is usually solid

It's been mentioned already but I second All-New Wolverine. It was my favorite series from the All-New, All-Different Marvel era.

I am 100% sure that this run may be one of the only modern big TWO corporate superhero books that didn't get derailed by events, cancelled, or dropped in quality.

Marvel is poorer for letting Taylor going over to the Distinguished Competition

I'd say best 4 stories while also reading chronologically are:
X-23 Innocence Lost
X-23 Target X (both by her creators - Craig Kyle and Chris Yost)
X-23 2010 series by Marjorie Liu - my favorite ongoing, her writing of Laura is simply the best, with beautiful art by Sana Takeda and Phil Noto
All New Wolverine by Tom Taylor

Between Target X and Liu series she was in New X-Men (post decimation) and X-Force (2008 series), both are very good and interesting reads, with a bit darker theme.
Also her issue (Issue 2) in Logan Legacy was nice read.

It was cancelled. The book was going to run for longer, but then Marvel brought Logan back and ended it, launching a new book under Tamaki instead.

I didn't know that, how long was the lead time on the cancelation because the final arc was pretty conclusive?

The final arc was an AU that only tangentially connected to anything else in the book. Kind of hard for that to be conclusive about anything.

How so it's a potential ending for Laura and her crew?

[Ambaryerno]

How so it's a potential ending for Laura and her crew?

Because it's an AU.

Because it's an AU.

I know but all endings are AU we'll never get an end for any corporate superheroes

The Innocence Lost and Target X miniseries (origin story), first X-23 ongoing (Liu), All-New Wolverine, and second X-23 ongoing (Tamaki). Laura was also a team member in the Childhood's End phase of New X-Men and Kyle/Yost's X-Force, which are worth reading if you're a fan of the character.

[Persephone]

While All New Wolverine ended prematurely, it at least didn’t leave a spectacular number of plot threads dangling that no writer would ever try to follow up on. The Tamaki run at least tried to continue Orphans of X before it, too, got canned and mutants in general were no longer supposed to interact with the outside world outside the narrow confines of events. Compare that to the Liu run where the main antagonist never actually got a name and has never (and will never) shown up again.

EDIT: I also find it amusing how much people’s thoughts on ANW have improved with time. Including my own. A lot of Laura’s fans seemed to dislike it while it was ongoing because Gabby, ending most of her lingering threats, and Laura’s thoughts on everything never being well conveyed. Seems a lot of that has been forgiven with time. For me it was somewhere around Fallen Angels where I decided that ANW was pretty good, actually.

[Rift]

I atill don't care for the majority of ANW and I doubt ai will ever like Gabby. Me and her will never be friends

She's Scout now, so now she's obligated to care.
