X-23 Vol. 2: Chaos Theory

This is the X-23 story I've wanted to read since this series started.  Laura & Remy arrive in Paris to meet up with some old friends while tracking down the trigger scent from the Collision story-arc.  Seeing the reunion between Logan & Laura is touching because it gives you a sense of how much he cares for her; at the same time this story shows the contrast between X-23 & Jubilee.  Over the years Wolverine has adopted several young mutants.  Jubilee is probably the one that is portrayed as the closest thing to have a true daughter / father relationship with Wolverine.  X-23 & Jubilee couldn't be more different but the common factor is their relationship with Logan.  Probably the greatest thing about this story is how Laura and Jubilee become friends Jubilee brings out the girl in Laura & introduces her to world she has never known.  Laura also breaks down what it means to live with a killer instinct.  This story takes place after the Curse of the Mutants story-arc in which Jubilee became a vampire.  The second story in this book introduces Laura to the Future Foundation which broadens her friend circle in the Marvel Universe.  Showing Laura interact with the Storm's children is enlightening & deepens her character.  I know this is the penultimate book of the series but this is so far the strongest entry in Laura's latest series.
