1st Kiden Nixon. Complete with a name straight from the street and it can be that there are heroes from all walks of life! We have found some valor from the most unexpected places, and yet everyone has some struggles within their own environment. We have to make decisions, and no one is exempt from the trials and tribulations. Taking the bad and turning it into good for some recompense takes a higher power, and it is not always within our power, by ourselves. We make do with the circumstances and to endure hoping against hope. WE HOPE TO THE BITTER END. Lives are in the balance here within NYX, and to be sure, it isn't all that glamorous but is an occurrence we've come to understand is unfortunately common. Life is lovely sometimes, but the big picture doesn't always look that way, nor does it make us "feel" that way. There must be something to these "life lessons" learned, and for what purpose but to help others?!? Bought from Ebay at $49 in CGC 9.2 to match my #3 issue. A starter set in the 9's or Near Mint ranges, I'll Take It!
Complete with a back cover picture of the #2 issue that I believe completed the set for me with a mix of raw and slabbed! Lot to keep up with, but perhaps a Metallica themed "Slab Them All" is in order!

1st X-23! Redemption seems to be on everyone's thoughts, for the first appearance of Laura Kinney as X-23, who is a clone. She'll go on to find out there are other clones, and that she is far from "unique", but may be the first of a "kind". I'm happy with the 9.2 grade, even after seeing this on sale in higher grade for lower prices. I paid $350! (pun intended but still true) With the success of the movie Logan, ground swell for this character has struck a chord with many a fan, me included! Hopeful for more X-23. She's snazzy nowadays in a suit similar to Wolverine, but back in the NYX series she didn't have too much in the way of possessions. She was getting those street smarts. Those may help, as problems occur on some level and no matter how well off you are, and it is what you do with those lessons that give life merit. All the more this hit taker will keep the stamina and endurance, though mentors early on will seek to guide her and will. Only by making her own choices, gaining experience, and seeing results for herself will she gain the needed confidence.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Hustlers!" Similar to the NYX #3 issue, the movie is where the Hustlers get over on the "John's" and starring Jennifer Lopez! At the prescreen they even had girls dancing on poles but no stripping, ha-ha. PG or maybe PG-13, though the movie was Rated R, the showing was at a regular theater. Color me silly, I was going to need it! ~ to paraphrase Green Day
Grader Notes:
crease left bottom of front cover breaks color;

2nd X-23. I bought this at Fan Expo Dallas 2017, and with the Logan movie around the corner, X-23 will get her day in the spotlight. Daken Too! Yes, the movies were awesome, and or, something different to behold. This book fluctuates in popularity though. Picked up the rest of NYX, or well most of them and fairly cheap. I've held onto a few, as I may want to complete the set-in slab form. The cover is a little striking as I believe that she just killed a "john" though she claims innocence. 2nd appearance, and almost a standalone character, despite being a "clone" or some such from Wolverine. She has her own thoughts and morals. She is somewhat shaky with them at first once finding out her "own origin", until the X-men meet her and calm the rage a bit. Creating issues that bring on the justice, if it can be called that, in a sense of what a possible X-man stands for but is also capable! While that may be in my opinion only, it is not lacking in the "retribution" that makes X-23 think twice and tick in instinct! All while hopefully purposing life for the better!
Complete with a back cover picture of my VF reader run, should sum it up nicely, bring on X-23! She's mean but tamable, in the end. We all have the angst to put in check, then checkmate!
Grader Notes:
light bends to cover;
light spine stress lines to cover.
