[@MiPiKeTe392]

bucky killed a bunch of people too under mind control....and cap still defended him yet he wants to take laura to shield for the same thing??

[@isaachonzel9486]

MiPiKeTe392 I know right! But remember. American is a quadruple edge sword. The accused(*the facilty*) defendant(*her leftovers family, logan*), victim(*Luara*), and bystander(*Steve who would have taken her back to S.H.I.E.L.D and they turn her into a weapon. Hence a eternal cycle of killing without choice*)

[@texcorps9432]

Wow. This made Cap seem like a Douche. Tony's laughing his ass off

[@evanderzufarsetiawan2511]

I hate him in this

[@evanderzufarsetiawan2511]

Chapter or whatever

[@iancruz6617]

He literally chanfe his mond knowong what would no better . Plus compare to tony the awful thingshe did in civil war ad then some.

[@VoiceOfReason7]

I love Laura's story. She's a great character

[@amon7816]

I read innocence lost and target X before watching and they were so emotionally heart wrenching (and I'm fairly unsympathetic and strangely emotional) I loved the sorrow and the pain that the story showed about 23's childhood.

[@luke5249]

I didn't choose the assassin life, the assassin life chose me

[@GroinFaceGroin]

Female Wolverine>Female Thor

*This damn comic* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Captain Marvel.

[@thelukezzade9485]

Love X-23, first time i saw her was in the X-Men Evolution cartoon years ago. Shes now one of my favorite fighting game characters (Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3)

[@JaniceHung]

This is nice. X23 is one of my favorite character. Its always nice to see some background story behind a character.

[@SouthSun89]

Damn.....I need to start reading books with X-23 in them she sounds awesome.

[@Adamatronamus]

+SouthSun Her story is great and written with amazing nods to continuity. From here, try X-23 volume 2, new x-men series and avengers academy. Recent runs of her seem to ignore all her character growth though.

[@alejandro_pittet]

All new X-men ignores all of this stuff, but I'm going to try All New Wolverine. It looks pretty good.

[@Adamatronamus]

All new x-men does a good job in reconnecting her first x-men appearance and personality to this event. It also hints at her story in NYX as well as severing a a good bridge between X-force and her Volume 2 solo series.

[@antidiablo386]

She IS awesome.

[@apatheticobserver5290]

+SouthSun She is more than awesome, if you want to see her in action, play Marvel Vs Capcom 3 , she's just sick.

[@comicstorian]

This was second place in the votes, we'll be bringing the vote back next week!

[@theman2.o110]

do wolverins origin

[@comicstoriantv]

+Neko Gamer We started letting you guys vote for the Friday video, the link to the votes is on the ask comicstorian videos and twitter early in the weeks.

[@theman2.o110]

+ComicstorianTV ok. I vote wolverines origin

[@theman2.o110]

sup benny

[@jackleface2903]

+Comicstorian can you do batman vs predator

[@MrFabrilol]

With stories like this, I'm more than ok with her being the new Wolverine

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

+Fabrizio cargnelutti I gotta say it makes more sense than some of Marvel changes they've been making. X-23 fits well to take up his place.

[@EndravenMusicChannel]

+9_Bucks No she doesn't, all her life she has been trying to be the opposite of him, to do the right thing. Yet somehow, after all her running from him and her own life, she out of the blue, becomes him with no reason whatsoever.

[@EndravenMusicChannel]

***** Nope, not really one that validates her becoming Wolverine.

[@Greyghostvol1]

+Deven Gilmore (ShadowB1ade67) So...people don't change their minds? Or come to a conclusion different than what they hoped? This happens all the time...

[@EndravenMusicChannel]

Greyghostvol1 So, let's say, there was a person. And you were only put in this world to be just like them, you ended up killing everyone you cared about, just because you were born to be like this person. Then you finally meet the person, he's a sweetheart but a little rough. But you don't care about that, you know what he has done, that he has willingly murdered people and hundred times. He is evil even when he tries not to be, it's his fault that you killed the only parent you really had with your own two hands. You end up liking him, but you do not want to become him ever, no matter what it takes. You just want to be free from what your destiny was. Because it is that destiny that made you murder your own mother. So your whole life's goal is to stay away from anything to really do with him. Would you really just one day, wake up and decide it would be fun and cool to be Wolverine? I doubt it, unless you are mentally insane.

[@ShawndaPrawn]

Well, now I'm caught up for "Logan." thanks.

[@-implosion-7181]

if you didn't know to begin with, you shouldn't have search it up to get filled in, things are always better without knowing everything inside

[@rachaelmeyer5361]

The movie is pretty different.

[@thewholesomehaitian5724]

I know Im late but someone got to agree with me that cap is trippen

[@isaachonzel9486]

Chris Jack Yeah he trippin balls of justice.

[@Jirodyne]

I love that Cap is all about Justice, America, Freedom, Protecting innocent people. But when all the guilty people are dead, and only the innocent person is left, he condems her to a fate worse than death, because 'someone must be punished, even if that person is innocent'. Kinda spots on everything 'Captain America' stands for, doesn't it?

[@daffo595]

I like X-23 and Jubilee's friendship. hopefully you can tell that story, too!

[@dtucker2583]

They're 13 and they dress in corsets and mini skirts?

[@apatheticobserver5290]

+D Tucker Welcome to American life.

[@randomrealistictone2231]

+The Amazing Scientologist I imagine a porn agent walks up to her and says "Hay, have you considered doing porn?" Then she begins to slice up the dude into bits

[@apatheticobserver5290]

PARAMOTH That'd be a disturbing backstory on her PornHub bio....

[@randomrealistictone2231]

The Amazing Scientologist She would stoop to that level of indecency. She would kill rapists

[@apatheticobserver5290]

In a way, yeah, but it's not common. In decent exposure is an arrestable offense and if someone is wearing anything that revealing, you're gonna have a bad time socializing.

[@Losdeff]

Guys im confused, isn't this wolverine dead?

[@comicstorian]

+Ochoga Its an older story

[@Losdeff]

Comicstorian you're the number 1 person i wanted responding, awesome. So this story pretty much does not mean anything now?

[@acrosswalkmassacre]

So wait, X-23 is put to the cross and crucified for killing someone under the influence, but Buckey gets a pass? gtfo. This is why cap is the worst.

[@supoa9489]

acrosswalkmassacre That's the movie universe not in the comics, in civil war comic version Cap in civil war is fighting for a good reason

[@biggamehunt403]

such an underrated marvel heroine

[@fernandezalecluigi]

Do the NYX story. X-23's first comic book appearance. :)

[@themarvin01]

Laura is bae

[@justarandomsprite6156]

Nebula Storm I like your pic who's the artist

[@themarvin01]

Brandon Molina Found it on Danbooru didn't check the artist. It be under Asui Tsuyu though.

[@taylorschott8910]

Nebula Storm if anyone was to say something like that to her face, laura would probably react one of two ways: 1. she would be flattered or 2. ( most likely ) she would take it the wrong way and attack you.

[@OrdinaryAverageGuy20]

"The trigger forces her to act, and she is therefore acting under the influence of a controlling substance" "I heard what she said Matt But it doesn't mean someone isn't responsible for these deaths" Aw but its ok when it comes to Bucky? F you Cap!! LOL...

[@taylorschott4659]

Hey, cut him some slack! bucky was caps best friend! there was reason for him to stick up for him. as far as Steve knew, laura was just a young assassin that was fully in control of her actions. its understandable why he wouldn't care if Matt believed her or not.

[@jordangoertz9743]

woverien is such a nice guy to her

[@andypham1451]

Man. When I read X-23 comics, I just want to say "Oh you poor... poor girl". I guess what she needs is a role model. Someone who sees her as a person, not a weapon or animal. Someone who understands what is like to be experimented on for destruction. Someone who would do nothing but taking care of her no matter what. Because honestly, I feel sorry for Laura. (And I feel sorry for Sarah before and after she died).

[@comicbookfangaming9733]

+Andy Pham and only one that feel her pain is logan that why im happy she taking her dad legacy too become new wolverine

[@comicbookfangaming9733]

+Andy Pham people aways say like father like daughter

[@LordUzaki]

Maybe it's just the way the story was told, but there seems to be a huge disconnect between her character in her introduction and her character towards the end here. In her introduction we learn how she was handled as if she was a weapon, not a person. She had no humanity, no concept of anything outside of assassination. When her mother, completely grief stricken finally came to her to get her out of the facility, all X-23 could comprehend was that her "mother" was attempting to give her a "mission". I thought that was the tragedy of X-23, this little girl with very base emotions for those who had treated her right, yet had not been given any comprehension of anything outside of her job description. She was a weapon, that's it. However, this whole story looks like it's tossing that away. She's partying, putting on "cool outfits", going to school. Ontop of all that rather than have her be at the social level where she could barley comprehend the concept of love itself, they instead put her at the social level of an alien trying to fit in with "humans".

[@randominternetsurfersurfin7595]

The thing is that's what her mother wants

[@The_Killah29]

+LordUzaki The first half of her origin story was about how she was created and raised to be a weapon in an environment made to make her cold by being manipulated by Zander. This half of the origin story is her escaping the facility and gaining the freedom to be a normal girl (like how she was when hanging with Megan), exactly the way her mother wished. The real tragedy is that Laura knows everything she's done and has to live with it, even though she's not responsible but may still feel like she was anyway.

[@oro2play]

+LordUzaki Well if it helps you feel better, they bounce her right back to barely talking at all and kind of struggling to grasp human life at all. In NYX she barely speaks and is a prostitute for a bastard of a pimp going by Zebra Daddy. Not completely willingly, it's just a means to survive, and I suppose to her it's just another mission, considering she specializes in sadist activities... I think she struggles to become human. Even as far back as Innocence Lost she shown some of the humanity Sarah wanted to give to her left its mark. A weapon doesn't cut itself. A weapon doesn't spare a child. And she felt actual distress when Sarah died, and didn't want Sarah to leave her. She felt actual anger and hatred when she was killing Xander, choosing not to use her claw right away, punching the crap out of him while memories flashed in her mind. She showed to have some level of humanity. There's a bit of a timeskip during Target X (afaik. She sure doesn't look 13 anymore.) Even then she doesn't really socialize much outside of with Megan. She wears Megan's clothes to fit in, not out of some fashion choice. And when she runs, she's back to her secluded self. Cue NYX. I think she's a character who struggles to maintain her humanity despite her life working against it.

[@Longshanks_]

No I cut my arm off. Duh!

[@Frodo_Shaggins]

Laura's story saddens me. Especially after seeing Logan. I hope life for her is better after the events of Logan. I hope for her sake that Eden is real.

[@taylorschott4659]

I'm glad that Laura had friends in the movie, because that helped her learn social skills. that and she also has dozens of people who went through the same thing she did.

[@cxg1]

I don't like it when avengers and Xmen are both considered in the same universe, where people fear mutants but praise superheroes

[@icy4294]

What do you mean "considered"??? They are in the same universe.

[@cxg1]

+spectacular love you know what I mean and it doesn't make sense

[@chasdffdf]

I'm reminded of why Matt Murdock/Daredevil is and always will be my favorite superhero

[@mrbushido6823]

The artstyle is awesome but , how can you believe she's 13 ??

[@apatheticobserver5290]

+Franklin Clinton By reading her birth certificate, after fucking her and then get arrested the instant she says the numbers one and three.

[@shinjiuchina431]

X23 is my favorite X-Men

[@Lone_Rocket]

This is possibly the closest ive come to crying in a long time.

[@Sleepy12ftPanda]

Wait, if Kimura was built to completely counter X-23 and X-23 had all of the powers of Wolverine, why didn't Zander just sick her on Wolverine? That'd be a lot simpler.

[@VinhNPL]

+mikewithglasses102 X-23 is a very young killing machine, Wolverine is an old killing machine and has more Adamantium coated bones :)

[@Sleepy12ftPanda]

Maybe, but that still doesn't explain why he went through the trouble of raising a new human weapon instead of, idk, doing literally anything else. Since when has a human-weapons program ever worked in the Marvel U?

[@VinhNPL]

+mikewithglasses102 Captain America (Weapon I), Nick Fury (Don't remember, not sure), i think are Project X origin related. If you've read the X-23 Origin, the goal for Zander isn't the same as the Factory. Zander wants revenge, but the Facility wants an army. Facility is Weapon X Program which is Weapon Plus program...

[@VinhNPL]

+mikewithglasses102 Also the fact that most of these experiments fucked up is kinda the fun part.

[@Sleepy12ftPanda]

I stand corrected. Still though, how come the only thing Zander could think of to beat Wolverine was another Wolverine? I mean, the last one ripped apart his dad. Why'd he think this one would be any different?

[@MikeJr9284]

I really like X 23. I mean, her backstory is tragic and, plus she's the clone of freaking Wolverine. And plus she's cute.

[@patrick_6580]

cute & 13

[@camhimmelkovic8790]

ok so is wolverine still dead? or is all new marvel turning him into old man logan? or both? Why couldn't marvel just do what DC did, a soft re-boot to restart and bacially be the new old ultimate universe.

[@Ghostx339]

+Cam Himmelkovic Wolverine is dead. however his mantle "Wolverine" is being passed on to X-23... and Logan will be known as Old Man Logan. when the next series begins, Old man logan will be part of Marvel's flagship Extraordinary X-men, and Wolverine will continue on in All-New X-men.

[@camhimmelkovic8790]

+Ghostx339 I am aware that wolverine is dead I was just curious if he's still dead, guess not.

[@Ghostx339]

Cam Himmelkovic and i said "wolverine is dead" in other words, he's currently not alive. Old Man Logan is an alternate timeline version of Wolverine being "old" and retired. which is why Laura is taking up the mantle of Wolverine! Old Man Logan was so popular, that when the omniverse ended, they kept his story going on battleworld, and will have him continue on as a mentor of sort for the new X-men flagship series.

[@gamerperson6367]

Do more of this

[@comicstorian]

+Coolgun in two weeks there is more X23. These storylines ended there though.

[@randomrealistictone2231]

+Comicstorian Was x-23 really 13 of age in this? Her physique says otherwise

[@thatperformer3879]

4:35 "Hereeeee's Johnny!"

[@smilemysoulisemptyimhate5692]

Marvel went crazy with her story . She is my favorite though .

[@DrunkenShinobi]

WOW! They really dumbed CA for this one!

[@quancheesethepeanuthead]

She kinda looks like Megan fox

[@justinciesnolevicz9972]

Yeah she does, I wonder if Megan could play a character like her, she's definitely look the part

[@lordofashes2570]

+Justin Ciesnolevicz pls dont spread cancer around

[@AqibA.C.]

Thank God James Mangold didn't have that kind of image in mind for her in Logan. Megan Fox has nothing but her looks, Michael Bay being after that kinda' stuff is how she's even allowed in the industry.

Is it really his daughter or twin since she is a clone?

will you cover NYX too? its like what happens betwenn inocent lost and target X

Are there more? If there are what is the next issue i REALLY want to start reading these after this.

That's how you make a new character marvel

Has x23 meet wolverine son?

She has become one of my favorite characters! ❤

u should look for x-23 vs daken

[@wompastompa3692]

My feels...

[@sweetexorcist7322]

Excellent story and art!

[@JazGalaxy]

Whoever did the art for this book has a really amazing understanding of Form. Not a ton of artists have that, even if they are really good.

[@hernansoria4499]

I really really love her story.

[@Grudis4you]

When will we get Dakken - Origins? Have been looking forward for it a while now :)

[@Winterjman]

more x23 story arcs plz

[@mojonijowjow]

...Wait a sec, Winter Soldier killed a lot of people under mind control too right? Yet, Captain America refuses to surrender him to SHIELD... ...Now, Laura here was under Mind control too when she done those crazy things before, and Captain's giving her up to SHIELD just like that?! ...Hmmmmmmm...

[@mojonijowjow]

...Nah, he said it. It's just kind of ironic when Cap's did that to Laura, Knowing that his own friend did the same thing...

[@mojonijowjow]

...So, because Laura's aint his Friend it's easy for him to dump her in jail? Ahahaha...I find it funny, if ever Caps didn't let her go and just put him in Jail, he will be questioned on why he didn't do the same thing to his friend Bucky.

[@mojonijowjow]

...Yeah, exactly my point. Matt Murdock also said that she is Innocent, and those killings wasn't really to her liking. It's Matt Murdock who we're talking about here BTW. Yet Cap's just go "No! She killed a lot of people" blah blah blah and chase the girl saying that she's guilty. ...Ahahah...That Cap's sudden change of heart in the end was just...I dont know. Odd and Funny i guess?

[@MuzzYADam]

[@immoore4614]

I hate Captain America in the comics, he's not as fluff and adorable as Captain America in the movies

[@ldiod4374]

+Jamie MontesHe was actually acting out of character in this comic though.

[@immoore4614]

Larson Davidson that's why i love him. yes, at first i was like "it's not like the comics!" but then again its an alternate universe. in comics i feel anything can happen...well most things

[@vondas1480]

Please do the runaways

[@stefmoneythebigfella7156]

Why the fuck did Desmond runn IN THE HOUSE!!!! He had a better chance of surviving outside. And why give them tea? Why not Waffles, Pancakes, or Pizza or something with the trigger scent in it. I would have ate the shit out that food. I might would have gotten killed by X-23 but his plan wouldn't backfire like that in the comics.

[@ScroopyNoopersNumbers]

Wait if x23 is considered as wolverines daughter and deadpool is like his brother... UNCLE DEADPOOL! Sonera one put this in a story!

[@dinodonny2010]

I really didn't know that much about X-23. I got a slight look at her from X-Men: Evolution, but I got say, she is by far the most tragic clone story that I know of. Compared to Superboy, he had it easy which reminds me, could you do either a New 52 Superboy origin or Superman story with him in it. I'm starting to like New 52 Superboy better than pre-Flashpoint Superboy.

[@gmoney4980]

+Comicstorian Still no "obscure" titles like Savage Dragon, Bone, Purgatory, etc. Mr Benny, don't get me wrong. I do love these vids, but an "obscure" title/story arc would be nice. Keep up the great job

[@blades0805]

love wolverine and x 23

[@Makman1994]

Overall a great backstory for X-23, but stuff like her wanting to kill Wolverine and Cap wanting to punish X23 for stuff she was brainwashed into doing felt really forced.

[@darkservantofheaven]

can you do a complete story for the Crow for halloween

[@benyang2081]

damn dat was quite sad 😢

[@SegalsCareer]

Could you do an origin on nightcrawler, angel, iceman, or some of magneto's allied mutants? ^_^ Pretty please?? baddies need attention too...

[@sateda]

All time x-men fan thats been out of touch with the comics... *LONGAN HAS A SON! O_o mind fuck!*

[@leto2525]

So I'm extremely confused. Some of the issues I've read seem to disregard this completely. What do I read that actually acknowledges this? Which issue is after this?

[@alx42013]

wow Benny.amazing. the art on this book is fucking beautiful. thanks bro

[@Iwillone]

Thanks for this bro. Totally getting a better whiff of her character before her dawning of the mantle of Wolverine come post Secret Wars

[@papajcina]

I always thought Daken was pronounced Day-Ken not Dah-Ken...wow

[@thegodfatherluke9776]

plz do wolverines son because I know absolutely nothing about him

beautiful ass story
