This last issue was good. I like that it was from Warren's POV. I think they need to bring up that Logan was also a horseman too though. He should know what Warren is going through.
I also would like to see more character development if possible. X23 is still all wrong to me. well not ALL wrong, but she feels like the Terminator in the Sarah Connor Chronicals. All cold and the way she talks. Logan is the one with the experience and more know how than her. She should be learning from him. That would make a better character than some cyborg.
I don't know where they are going with the other characters at this point though. Maybe next issue we'll find out more about that.

I think that works for X-23 right now. They were gradually bringing her in as a more human character, but with launching X-Force, Wolverine was against it, so I'd imagine they trying to keep everyone as least human as possible while they're on X-Force.

It just doesn't work though. You can't have her have adjusted and become more human in all other books, including her solo mini, and then have her be so dry and robot-like. Doesn't make sense.

Unless she is upset about that guy she liked not liking her back. She had a crush on Hellion, I think it was, in New X-men. She's all alone now and isolated.

lol... ok.. that makes sense, but they need to add that in. And she isn't really all alone. Logan is there. If she stopped being a robot I think he would warm up to her like he did before, but it seems that she would rather be this way and is void of a character.
I love the book.. its one of my favorites now, but I want to see more character development. I realize these are all well developed characters but that doesn't mean they can ignore that part of what makes for an awesome story. The action and story are there. They got that down. Now they need to round it off a bit more.

I meant alone insofar as she has no love interest. I think as long as Logan is using her as a point and click weapon as part of his team, she will only get harder, not softer. I am surprised he doesn't seem to care about that....

Yost and/or Kyle said in an interview that it would be addressed in time that Laura finds out Jullian is still alive. So that should be interesting to see.

I hope so. I think the characters need to be focused on a bit more. Its like Heroes.. all story and no character development will just make for lost interest.
..although I will keep reading cuz of Wolverine... lol so maybe they know what they are doing after all! lol

Just read #11. Looks like this Eli Bard dude is going to bring back some mutants from the dead. Sabretooth anyone?

Hmm.. could be. I have to read that one again to see if there are any hints. They could bring back Sabretooth a lot of ways. Sinisters clones is one way.. in fact didn't they do that? And then just kill them off real fast? Not sure where I read that though.
Oh, not sure if you guys watch the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon, but the past couple episodes Wolverine's been in the X-Force like duds instead of the astonishing ones. I'm liking it. Wish he would change over to those for good;)

Yes, in the X-Force a couple issues back they had some Sabes clones that I guess they killed off. I haven't been watching the cartoon at all. My interest in it faded fast when I realized that Gambit wasn't going to be in it much. I have too many other things to do with my time.
