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!

Oh yeah. It's one of those days with two Laura appearances.
I'm stuck in work tho.
"Cable was right!"
X-23 actually had more action than the 2 AoXM books combined but I honestly can't tell if the next issue is a continuation of this already long arc or a spin-off.
6/10
"Cable was right!"
More than "bring back" I'm talking about acknowledge his existence, yes it is a depressive and dark past, but also was his past as child weapon. I don't understand why is considered worse being prostituted than forced to kill your own mother. Also there is the matter of how much has Laura evolved from a human weapon with none control of his body and will, to a struggling teen trying to become a "real" person, to the strong and self confident woman she is nowadays.
And we shouldn't it's a terrible act, but the point is that she lived through it, she survived and she is now a happy woman. Also I think that killing her own mother also talks volumes about how she wasn't in control of her body and mind, it's not just a cold desentized murder, it's a very relevant one who marked her perhaps more than his time in NYX.
Back to the point, she survived something very hard and dark and still get away and got a nice live. I agree with Ambaryerno that it could be a great example to address a very delicate theme who just recently has got relevance.
