Laura in X-Men United #3: The right sentiment, the wrong voice
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this issue. There's a lot to like here. For one thing, she's acrobatic, flying over the heads of everyone else to engage the enemy, which is a MUCH APPRECIATED detail; her fighting style is and always should be different from Logan's.
But she also gets to share her trauma about what happened to Sarah Kinney, and how Laura's lived with the guilt, but still used the chance Sarah gave her. It's a touching moment, and a pretty big moment for Laura. She actually gets to resolved the whole situation and be the star of the show, at least as far as the X-Team is concerned.
My only complaint is that the writers still don't have her voice right. She's still talking more like Logan than herself. Marvel's writing team really needs to reread Tom Taylor's work at least. Try to get a better feel for who Laura is and how she interacts with others.
Aside from that, pretty solid issue, and a good Laura issue.
