This was a fantastic read. I read all 28 issues plus the tie-ins from the 3 crossovers. Messiah War, X-Necrosis and Second Coming. FANTASTIC!!! I read this run for the first time, soon after returning to the hobby in 2018. I knew about Laura and thought she was a cheap money grab. Man was I wrong, she is a GREAT character!!! Sidebar; This opened the X-23 rabbit hole for me. I did a Laura Kinney deep dive immediately following the reading of this series. Crain's art.... It's good and does fit the book's feel and mood but man he doesn't do the best ladies, it's very dark and things can get wonky sometimes. I feel like it got better as it went on for sure and maybe he had an affinity for Selene his most consistently, well painted lady. I was also kind of shocked that I forgot how violent and gory this run was, especially for a Marvel title. Loved it! Fun fact: Marvel dumped the comics code authority seal for good in 2001 over X-Force #116; the first Marvel book to not bear the seal since 1971's Amazing Spider-Man #96-98 I agree with Drew 100%... This is a 9.8, blood splattered, white pages for me too. I really enjoyed reading this again for the 3rd time. Laura is better than her father. For those not in the know, no she is not a clone. She is the biological daughter of Dr. Sarah Kinney who carried her to term and Logan via genetics and not the fun way. Which is odd as he's been with quite a few ladies
