I thought that the art style was beautiful but I think they didn't draw Laura as her age very well. As for the actual story, I thought that it was really good. I didn't expect to see Steve in this story, so that was a nice surprise!
This was excellent. Basically talking about how Laura went to her aunt and cousin and tried to be normal. But we all know that doesn't last long. Only thing kind of took me back was cap felt bit out of character especially since bucky had similar time as Laura. Also, hate we had to link this back to NYX and that terrible choice for Laura. Rest was great.
10 stars!Read this! Just...read this! This is a continuation of Kyle's X-23:Innocence Lost, and it does not disappoint. If anything, it's even better than the first one. Everything is being told in flashbacks from Luara/X-23's point of view, while she is being detained by Captain America...and represented by Daredevil.X-23 goes looking for her mother's family. In the last volume she and her cousin were both much younger, and her mother sent Laura in to save her niece from a serial killer. Her co...
I wasn't a fan of this. There was something off about the art style. Also, there was something about the story and the way the characters acted that felt like it all belonged in a 90s comic, which is not a positive thing for me. Characters trying too hard to be badasses actually don't look that cool.
When I first heard about X-23, I'd assumed she was a stunt character. She's just like Wolverine except she's a hot teenage girl and she also has claws in her feet! Maybe that was the original intention for her, but Kyle has put some serious work into making her far more than just a stunt character. In fact, he's made her one of my favorites. Picking up where X-23: Innocence Lost left off, Target X gives even more of Laura's backstory. Laura has found her mother's sister, and tries to have a norm...
Laura's story continues. Things pick up from right before she escaped the facility that cloned her. Laura is recounting these events to Captain America and Matt Murdock.Laura went to her Aunt and cousin's home to have a normal life, but her creators aren't done with her yet...her handler has survived and she intends on bringing her back.Target X is interesting because it focuses on Laura attempting to live a normal life. Seeing an assassin try to be a real girl is pretty funny. She tells Megan t...
4 stars if you read this as a stand alone volume as I did years ago, but if you read it just after "Innocence lost" this is another 5 stars read. More a second half than a sequel of the previous story. And the art is just awesome.
A great continuation. I don't really like the retcons placed in so quickly, but they are handled well. I really like the way this story plays out, the flashing back and forth from the interrogation room and all. This comic does a really good job of endearing Laura to the reader. The ending is wonderful.
Still weird that 3 of the main female characters had to get character development by abuse, but Laura's friendship with Megan was very compelling, and I legit was in doubt about what would happen do Megan and Debbie
Thanks to Anne for recommending. Despite a recap of the first book in this series, I felt adrift without a good feel for the characters. The central character is a female (hot) version of X-Men's Wolverine. Excellent artwork.
This is among my favourite X-23 books.
A Bourne-style (or is that Hannah?) action thriller with great art and a neat main character. I like how the whole story is a flashback told to twin "acting judges" of Cap and Daredevil. There's a few other famous Marvel characters, a good arc, and violent fight scenes. Not a bad place to start with the character.I would totally read a six issue series with the feel of the five pages she spends in high school, though. Hell, it'd make a great TV series.
'Darlin', they try to take you from there, then they're asking for a world of hurt.'HOLY SHIT, THIS WAS EVEN BETTER IN PLACES THAN THE FIRST.What a well-executed continuation to the previous arc. Laura in high school is such good stuff and finding a family only to—sobs. I really liked the not known before pieces from her origin story and man, she's gone through some fucked up shit. The villainess is great in this and Logan calling Laura kid is such a highlight alkjhsgdf.This is totally worth 5 s...
this is not news but steve rogers is a piece of shit
This continues straight on from X-23: Innocence Lost and is just as great. Laura's in SHIELD custody and is being interrogated by Captain America himself (for reasons that are explained as the story unfolds) with Matt 'I'm Not Daredevil' Murdock for the defence.This is high on action and high on what I believe the kids are calling 'the feels'. It has pushed Laura even higher on my 'favourite characters' and 'superheroes I want to adopt' lists.
Incredible sequel to a brilliant origin story.
This was another great one!(view spoiler)[ Laura goes to her aunt and well lives with her daughter megan and we see what they have been upto after how Laura helped Megan in the previous volume and its awesome seeing that acknowledged and from there we see her school life and its awkward and fun but it can last only so long as Kimura and the trigger scent find her and we see the origin of her arch-nemesis here and how she finds her and forces her to almost kill her new family and from there Laura...
I really enjoyed this one and thought it was a great followup to the X-23: Innocence Lost storyline. It continues where that one left off. It’s told from the perspective of Laura having been captured by someone who’s questioning her about who she is and what she’s done, trying to determine if she is X-23. The story is then flashbacks from her life, showing how the previous story ended and what happened to her since then. There were a few elements of the plot that didn’t entirely work for me, lik...
Following up with the first volume this one is set before she joins the X-Men.Yost once again writes down a good definition of the character, her inner pains and conflicts and if you like X-23 this is a must read to dig into her personality and motivations.What cost the book another star are 2 things: - The bad girl, an ott sadistic bitch. When characters are so overtly evil, not even cunningly evil, just I-laugh-when-you-suffer evil, I quickly lose all interest in them.- The art, quite bland bu...
