I dunno if that's supposed to be funny or just Laura being a huge jerk

e: Also Jesus Christ her face in the last panel is scary if you keep looking at it.

X-23 was always a really bad character, just one that was inexplicably blessed with good writers. Thankfully, avengers arena broke that streak.

Clearly this is going to be the end of Hickman's Avengers, they must stop an incursion while the planet incursioning is one full of Stilt-men. Can the Avengers find the source of the incursions when they're between the rock and the stilt?! Feat. Iron Stilt Man, Spider-Stilt-Man, Wolvestilt, Captain Stiltmerica, Captain Marstilt, Stilt Widow and The Incredible Stilt.

It's #22, which I know because I saved that (and the preceding panels) during my flight to post later, and almost certainly why Stilty was my go-to there.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

They were her cousin's angsty teen goth clothes if I remember correctly. I'm going off Wikipedia and have only read Target X and the Marjorie Liu series, but doesn't the Zebra Daddy stuff happen later?

Is there a reason she works as a prositute by the way, beyond cheap titillation? I always wondered why she couldn't work as a translator or something, considering her language abilities. Or hell, get a filing job, she doesn't exactly get bored since she'll wait days for a target. She could use her claws as a human hole punch and bam, there's your thrilling comic.

Yeah, it's some of her cousin's clothes. I've heard people suggest that she was trying to emulate the styles of the people around her, but obviously didn't grasp the nuances of fashion. She didn't become a prostitute until NYX, which while published before this, took place after it, chronologically.

As for why they made her a prostitute: Blame Quesada, since he was writing NYX. As I recall the guys who actually created X-23, Kyle and Yost, were quite pissed off by this, especially as the character had been created for X-Men Evolution, before being introduced into the comics a la Harley Quinn. They pretty much ignored it in their own writing, for obvious reasons.

If the incursion ends with the population of Stilt-Earth all standing together in the incursion, and then extending their legs to push Marvel earth away it will be totally worth it.

Actually, that sounds more like the ending if Hickman got ran over by a bus and Grant Morrison took over...
