More than 20 years after the issue of Marvel ’s originalNYXseries , the upcomingNYXrelaunch is harkening back to its original namesake with a cover homaging the first appearance ofX-23 , the once and futureWolverine . It ’s a surprising tribute to a controversial serial publication , but one that arrive at sensory faculty as Wolverine return to New York City . How the original serial publication impact this newfangled story remain ambiguous , but this fresh screen gives hints that it has n’t been forgotten entirely .
As Marvel fix forthe launch of the newNYXseriesfrom writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing and creative person Francesco Mortariano , the publishing firm has now revealed W. Scott Forbes ’ variant cover forNYX ( 2024)#3 , which homages X-23 ’s first appearance .

The NewNYX#3 Cover Homages the OriginalNYX
The originalNYXsaw Laura Kinney on the street of New York City after escaping from Weapon X , forced into involuntary sex oeuvre . It was only with the help of other misfit teen that she was able-bodied to escape that life and begin onher road to the ecstasy - Men . This first serial engender a follow - up without Laura in 2008,NYX : No Way Home , but the deed of conveyance has subsequently been sleeping until this year . NYX ( 2024)is take some cue from the original serial publication , most notably in the setting , but is clearly far more of anX - Menbook , with Laura ’s appearance the biggest point of crossover between the two serial publication .
NYX ( 2003 ) # 3is written by Joe Quasada , drawn by Joshua Middleton , colored by Middleton and Jean - François Beaulieu and letter by Chris Eliopoulos and Randy Gentile . NYX : No Way Homeis written by Marjorie Liu , drawn by Kalman Andrasofsky , colored by John Rauch and letter by VC ’s Joe Caramagna .
NYX ( 2024)also promises to search the consequence of the Krakoan Era of the X - Men as several young mutants band together in NYC to find out what mutant culture looks like now that their home is lost . It will be fascinating to see how Laura ’s drastic development in the X since her original appearance factors into this new serial . Laura has go bad from X-23 to Wolverinein her own rightfield , get hold of on principal roles in multiple X - Men squad . It ’s been a while since she ’s lived in New York City , and it ’s not precisely somewhere she has a convinced association with .
The OriginalNYXCast Might Be Coming Back
Interestingly , this covert hint that the newNYXmay give back more directly to the original serial than some were bear . Marvel draws aid to the fact that the rest of the originalNYX ’s cast are on escape posters on this raw cover , hint that their disappearance may be an upcoming plot point . The majority of this original cast have n’t been seen sinceX-23vol 2 # 1 in 2010 , which saw Laura reunite with them to reflect on her origins . In that account , the squad were all experiencing homelessness and , like Laura , they walk away into an uncertain future .
X-23(vol 2 ) # 1 is written by Marjorie Liu , pencil by Filipe Andrade and Nuno Alves , ink by Alves , Jay Leisten and Sandu Florea , color by Alves and Chris Sotomeyor ( as SotoColor ) and lettered by Clayton Cowles .
These hints , and the court cover charge ’s existence itself , are honestly surprising , since the absolute majority of writers since the 2010s have avoided instantly reference the originalNYX . There ’s an intelligible perception that the serial is a relic of the early 2000s ; an ill - reckon endeavor to write a " mature " series that came off as exploitative . It takes skilled writers with sensitivity and a dextrous touch to revisit these elements of Laura ’s fictitious character . This only live doubly now that Laura isWolverine , notX-23 , but it count like writers Colin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing are willing to try in the newNYX .
NYX#3will be usable September 25 from Marvel Comics .
