X-23, Vol. 3: Don’t Look Back

X-23 Vol. 3: Don’t Look Back (2012) Marjorie Liu, Sana Takeda, Phil Noto

This is (apparently [at least for now]) the conclusion to Laura’s story arc.

The first part of the story–pretty much ‘Adventures in Babysitting’ with X-23 I really could have one without. It felt like they needed to shoehorn some action adventure in, instead of just letting Laura deal with her relationships with Hellion and Gambit and Wolverine. I realize that comics are expected to be action adventure–especially Marvel comics–but this arc simply felt ridiculous.

But, I was glad to see the story arc through–to see X-23 doing what she wanted to do instead of what she was told.

One other thing–what on EARTH is that cover about? It doesn’t seem to be related to actual events, which is just… weird.
Rating: 7/10
