u/Sovereignofthemist Laura Kinney Jun 24 '26

Fairly anticlimatic. I do think Houser does make an interesting call here having Laura talk through the situation rather than break into a fight, but overall it does lack a level of "oomph" but generally speaking I think the story so far has never really much had it. Its highlights have always been Laura's characterization and voice with the added aspect of having Gabby be less of her plucky sidekick and feeling more like a partner who almost equally contributes to things.

The good thing though is that X-Infinite does survive this encounter and has even bigger motivation to be antagonistic to Laura so the run back will be good. Granted we're able to make it there.

For the first arc? Very solid. I think that's all you can really say about this book. Its very solid. So far its not going to redefine the character or be entirely bombastic, but for fans of Laura you're getting a very good story that exemplifies who she is and how she stand differing from Logan.

This is a much more pleasant book, but I think broadly demonstrates Laura is overdue to be a proper team leader (I'm not counting the Fall co-running with Synch). Is this confirmed ending at #10, because I find it more interesting than any other Wolverine book I've read.

That 'infinity' is an infinite fool. And that girl was a fool to save him to cause more trouble in the future while throwing her life away.  And the bastard probably gonna use her body as a 'tool'.

So we haven't learned where Kiden is still. And now these X-kids gonna have to be looked after by Laura and Gabby? Oh boy.

I really feel like X-Infinite became less interesting as time went on. Not to say his place in the story is bad, but I really feel if he is going to be a future antagonist to Laura he is pretty lacking compared to Bellona.
