If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I actually liked them becoming more independent in the Bendis series, but I think it makes sense that they'd do anything to bring their other sisters back.

That is good. I get he is a character who makes writing kind of hard but I have always had a soft spot for him. I think if they stuck him in a light-hearted book where people really don't want to see the characters in danger anyway it would be good.

I liked him in X-Force. The fact he was the one definitively 'good' member of the killsquad was a nice juxtaposition.

I actually sort of thought for a bit that him and Laura would make a good pairing. Then I saw that Kyle tweet how he'd intended her to be gay, and that just makes 100% total sense to me. I mean, I didn't know anything about Iceman, so when Bendis made that canon I had a sort of reflexive 'they changed a thing' dislike of it (the specific circumstances didn't help), but having followed Laura's story, that just seems obvious to me. I almost feel like the Liu run was headed in that direction, actually, between her spending time with Jubilee and breaking it off with Hellion at the very end of the run. Like, looking at the issue in question (X-23 Volume 2 #19, true believers!) She explicitly says that she's has feelings and wants, but that she doesn't want Julian. Then Jubilee shows up at the apartment she's staying at, and the next issue picks up clearly some time later where they've been spending a lot of time together.

Laura/Jubilee is the new Kitty/Rachel is what I'm saying here, I think.

Sorry, we were talking about Elixir, weren't we?

I'm six months in the past on Marvel Unlimited where they just published the latest New Mutants #1. It's really bugging me that Wolfsbane and Strong Guy are on the same team without a hint of tension between them. Does the book ever acknowledge that he murdered her son?

I've seen people say it's kind of strange for Craig Kyle to phrase it in the way he did (it's ambiguous as to whether he meant Evolution, Comics Laura or both iirc) and the usual pushback but I'm glad it's out there because I personally can't picture any dude matching up with Laura well (I do see where you're coming from with Elixir, but that is not viable right now) but the idea of her with modern Illyana and their deadly/scary energies combining is way more exciting. Some people are really energised by the idea of Laura being Lesbian or Bi, on top of the line in X-Men Red that Gabby is exploring her sexuality too. Laura and Mercury are tight (though I like Bling and Mercury together... for background appearances only now I guess) but Laura and Pixie would be a fun contrasting pair and a riff on the Logan/Jean thing with Rachel could be interesting. Plus, Rachel could actually do something that isn't have being chumped endlessly. (I like Jubilee and Chamber, but her and Laura would rule, and I saw someone online suggest a throuple. Moody man Chamber and Laura could get on, and Gabby would love Shogo so I could see it?)

So yeah, I'm in favour of Bisexual/Lesbian Laura, though single "parent" Laura with Gabby is working very well for me in the continued excellence that is X-23. It would be further character development with regards to her sense of self, but it could also just be a matter of fact thing that she figures out (she's still young, and obviously anyone can come out at any time), and a relationship could be a welcome addition to her series down the line, especially with the Gabby factor.

Yeah, it comes up. Whether or not it satisfies you will depend on you but it does get some exploration.

So I don't know anything about all those Search for Wolverine stories, and the idea of hot claws are still dumb, but: Return of Wolverine was good. This looks like it's going to be an extremely back to basics Wolverine story, and I'm down for that.

In theory I liked young Angel/Laura, but that wasn't going to last and Tom Taylor didn't reference it very much outside of the first story. Which I do get, but it was still a shame. The head-patting scene was fun.

I do totally agree it feeling like they have definitely set the table obviously for Laura to be gay, much moreso than with Iceman, who I had a reflexive reaction to as well (although, if you go back through Iceman's history, there's enough there where it isn't totally out of left field. It's not quite like Beast where people would've probably been like "no poo poo" but it's still there).

Yea, Hot Claws seems a silly editoral "we need to add a new hat" style decision, but the rest of the book was fantastic. I don't expect anything less from Soule and McNiven though.

Swung by a comic store today but they only had the normal yellow costume cover for Wolverine. I really had my heart set on the brown/orange.

According to this site there's no fewer than 52 variant covers including a blank one. As for the one you're looking for, I can't find anything about specific production numbers, but Midtown is selling it for regular price if you want it. It doesn't look like retailers were able to order specific variants (though I could be wrong), so it's possible your store just didn't get many even though they're being produced in equal numbers.

Thanks, I went trolling through ebay last night just to see what was out there. Once I saw that there was not only a Fang costume cover but a virgin 1:200 variant of it, emotion took over and I hit the buy it now.

Edit: Whoa, except I paid a quarter what midtown has it listed for.

If you're down with audio Jay and Miles Xplain the X-Men podcast is exactly what you're looking for.

For purely text and images Chris Sim's watch through of the 90's cartoon often gives back ground on the stories being adapted.

Yeah, Jay & Miles is basically perfect for your needs if you don't mind listening instead of reading. There's also a visual companion for each episode that may have the screenshots you crave.

Also Jay is officially legally recognised as ~~Penmanship Lad~~having very good handwriting in a court of law, if that sweetens the deal.

It's so good! The little details in the art (probably from Taylor?) are so good, and Carnero sold the hell out of the Newsreader lady delivering that burn on her co-host*. The plot is great too (Cassandra feels like a true threat, and she's terrifyingly vindictive), but details like Laura putting her hand casually on Gambit's shoulder while they looked at the text are so wonderful to see. That's a big deal for her!!

I really liked Red, but there's a weird recurring trend through all the X-books of Rachel getting mindcontrolled. Again. Also in her old costume for some reason. Which I'm pretty sure happened in Gold and Extermination, all within like 3 months of each other.

I like that they're using the character but getting punked in the exact same way over and over feels oddly demeaning and just... lacks creativity.

Yeah, it's been ridiculous how hard Rachel has been punked repeatedly throughout Gold. I feel like Red is fair usage (I mean, Cassandra is a big deal), but Extermination also having her crumple at the same time is unfortunate timing after all of Guggenheim's flailing.

Blue ended well, but it highlighted the wasted potential because it showed the interesting parts of the book were the bits it couldn't focus on for long.
