I don't know much about X-23 - would you be able recommend any collected editions that you think might be a good place to start finding out a little more about the character?
thanks

I can't help you there, Zaius, but I did want to say that what makes this character interesting is the fact that she started out in a tv show and moved to print, just like Harley Quinn. I can only vaguely recall the X-Men evolution episodes she was in.

;D ;D ;D Zaius: I suggest you start with X-23's origin, which begins in the 6-issue mini-series " X-23: Innocence Lost":  then continue with " X-23: Target X", which is also a 6-issue mini-series (AND REMAINS AS MY #1 MARVEL MINI-SERIES OF ALL TIME). Stella: I'm glad you at least know about Laura. X-23 made her debut on X-Men: Evolution - Season 3, Episode 41: "X-23". marvel.com/videos/695.x-men~colon~_evolution_-_season_3,_episode_41 (Click to view the episode) She later had another episode in X-Men: Evolution - Season 4, Episode 46: "Target X". marvel.com/animation/x-men~colon~_evolution/start/168You can check out her wiki page ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-23), which is actually quite accurate in my opinion. |

I'm actually really looking forward to what Marjorie Liu has to offer. She is featured in this week's Marvel Hotline where she discusses about her initial encounter to X-23. I'm very happy that she expressed the same sentiment as many other close fans of X-23 such as myself, and I'm excited that Liu will be bringing X-23 back to her very, very dark and sensitive NYX times and will even be bringing Kiden Nixon and the other NYX kids who pretty much saved X-23's life .

Actually, I'm gonna go back on what I said. I sounded a little more negative than i really feel. I'm just not liking this whole dark Wolverine thing goin on right now and i guess I just connected her name to the title in my head. But it looks good. I'd love to see an ongoing with X-23 (idk, is there any talk about that right now?) Also, thanks for the link. I'm in the process of recording A podcast right now and I'm actually gonna add that right now.  |

I really enjoy X-23, I think Marvel has done a good job of letting her shine every so often and not just flooding the market with product. I think her back story and her tragedy is what really attracted me to her, the way her mind works, the way she's been used by men. I really want to see her push past that and really evolve as a character and at the slow pace they've used.

Yes, there are both trade paperbacks and hardcovers. |

Yes, there are both trade paperbacks and hardcovers. Thanks for the advice - I've now ordered 'X-23: Innocence Lost' from Amazon and I'm looking forward to reading it. |

Finally got the "X-23" one-shot a few hours ago and just finished reading. Gotta say, I'm not too pleased; not at all (and this is coming from a die-hard Laura fan).  Will try and throw a brief review later this week. One last note, I think it's quite sad when a reader reads a comic book and thinks that the character intro at the beginning was the best page in the entire book. |

Well, this does not give me hope about Black Widow's series since Liu is also writing that. She seems like a relative newcomer, coming out of the romance novel trade, but I've read she's had some experience in the X-books prior to this. I'm sorry Noctis! I know what it feels like to have a crappy character-return!

'X-23: Innocence Lost' arrived in the post this morning so I'll clear some time at the weekend to sit down and read it in one sitting - looking forward to posting my comments.
I also ordered the one-shot which should arrive by Saturday ...

I know what it feels like to have a crappy character-return! Yeah, I thought that after hearing her sentiments for Laura's history and how she became who she is now (just listen to the recent Marvel Hotline marvel.com/news/comicstories.11657.marvel_hotline~colon~_marjorie_liu ), Liu would show us how much Laura has grown up and became a much stronger person since her horrible NYX days, but instead it seemed like Liu made Laura look annoyingly weak and a "oh-woe-is-meeee!!!" emo. All in all, I wish I read the issue first before getting it because I kinda regret it. Thankfully X-23 is still a strong, key character in the on-going X-Force series as well as one of the main supporting characters in the new "Pixie Strikes Back" mini-series. |
