On Sunday at New York Comic Con, Marvel announced several new series featuring X-Men characters, including Wolverine’s clone, X-23. X-23: Deadly Regenesis is a 5-issue limited series written by Erica Schultz, with art by Edgar Salazar, and on sale in March 2023. Marvel revealed no further details about the title. It’s immediately interesting to note that it is “X-23” when Laura Kinney has claimed the Wolverine name (with Logan’s blessing) for some time. The title is a play on which plays on “Deadly Genesis” from 1975’s Giant-Size X-Men #1, the story that introduced the “All-New, All-Different X-Men” to the world. That’s perhaps a hint that Deadly Regenesis is a flashback story. One possibility is that it will dig into Laura’s origin, following up on (and perhaps altering) the stories told in previous miniseries X-23: Innocence Lost and X-23: Target X. After spending time as a member of the first democratically elected X-Men, Laura currently appears (as Wolverine) in X-Terminators.
