X-23

Marvel’s 2010 solo series for X-23, written primarily by Marjorie Liu, finally gave Laura Kinney her own spotlight after years as a supporting player. With art by Filipe Andrade and Nuno Alves, this brief but intense single-issue story digs into the character’s haunted past and her struggle to define a life beyond the Weapon X program. It’s a concise, emotionally charged character study that helped cement X-23 as a distinct and compelling hero in her own right.
