New Hellions fan art by Sam Johnstone.

His idea for the book:

After the fall of Krakoa, mutantkind is in disarray. Prominent leaders of the mutant world are fighting to create space for mutants to exist in human society, but with teams scattered across the world, and Xavier’s School turned into a prison fortress, where can young mutants look for guidance? Enter the NEW HELLIONS. Alumni of the esteemed Massachusetts Academy are stepping up to revive the hallowed institute and provide a vision of distinction and composure in a world of chaos. Because when the whole world is watching, you must be nothing less than fabulous. Under headmasters JETSTREAM and FIRESTAR, the new Hellfire Institute is established as an elite performing arts academy for only the most talented and competitive young mutants. TAROT & ROULETTE lead a faculty including notable Emma Frost pupils MERCURY, DUST & HELLION to instruct a class of ambitious new mutants determined to be the best. In this pressure cooker of passion, determination, and academic performance, alliances will form and friendships will fracture as students push themselves to the limit to be the top of the class. In the crucible of Hellfire, only diamonds emerge—imperfection means extinction. Welcome to the New Hellions, Hope you survive the audition.

Laura & Cessily and Julian & Sooraya are such epic duos, and I wish they would do so much more with them.

Top of my favorite Laura's (X-23) ships and which one I think is best

Trigger warning: this contains a lot of text and is more of a vent so I ask for patience, some may count as crack ships and some you may not like, every opinion is valid as long as it is given with respect this just things that I like and that is my opinion.

Please all from respect and understanding 💖.

9. Local

We haven't seen much of this character, that's why he's the last one, but he still has a certain charm that reminds us of Gambit, which fits Laura's personality in my opinion.

8. Jordan

Same case only appeared once but still the way they manage to understand each other is quite adorable, going from hate to understanding being that in the end both try to fight with the trauma, although I can also see it as a sisterhood relationship.

7. Jubilee

Emphasizing this is my opinion, I know many love this ship and I don't really judge them the way Jubilee seeks to support Laura can be fascinating, plus she never judges her just accompanies her, the only thing I think sometimes she tends not to listen to her much out of that I can also see them as sisters.

6. Mercury

I know this may sound weird but in general the way they both grow since they meet is slow but effective, being that even coming from absolutely different lives they seek to connect and manage to understand each other in the end, honestly I hate that Marvel won't continue their friendship.

5. Wind Dancer

I made this one up and it's an absolute crack ship, I mean I know they haven't interacted but I legitimately believe that if they had it would have been a nice friendship or relationship, between Sofia's compression and Laura's overprotection... I'll understand if I'm cancelled or judged for this...

4. Angel

Here we start with strong things, I know that many do not like this ship or its author, but in my opinion it has strong points.

Warren was one of the few people who tried to help Laura when she was clearly not well mentally, especially when she was surrounded by people that he barely knew, the way he enjoys seeing her smile and takes care of her says a lot about him, to the point that he prefers to sacrifice everything to change the destiny and have time with her, plus they both manage to make each other grow. While it has a bit toxic points I also like how they manage to solve things by communicating perfectly and learning to talk to each other being that while it's not perfect they manage to get to solve things just with communication at the end of it all, not to mention the adorable moment where he caresses her head and how he was for her in such strong moments as the funeral of her "mother" and Kimura's death.

It would be higher but I think Warren's only flaw is that he thinks more about Laura changing or reducing her wild personality a little bit which lowers his points in my opinion, plus as such we didn't see an end to this relationship.

3. Kiden

She has been the most recent to give us this ship, the first person to meet Laura and from what they let us see the first to try to understand her, by the dialogues of Nyx #8 she shows us the love she has always had for her, seeing her not only as a friend but as one of the most important people in her life.

She loves her and I'm sure that whether she accepts her feelings or not, it won't affect that she still wants to protect Laura and just be in her life.

2. Synch

I know many don't like this ship either but personally, even though we didn't see much of it, there are things that say so much.

Just starting with spending a thousand years together and constantly protecting each other to the point of preferring to die for each other, not to mention that after leaving the vault Synch still loved his Laura but he knew that the one he saw in front of him was not her, even with that he could not avoid looking at her nor could he live the mourning because.... Do you really know for sure that she is dead? How can you grieve for someone who simply disappeared? The psychological point in this ship is powerful, when they meet again is one of the most emotional moments, even after having spent a thousand years together they don't separate, they treat each other with love and look at each other as if no one else in the world will matter, for me without like those grandparents couples that you want to see together always and even after so much together they still treat each other like two teenagers who just met and treat each other with love.

This ship doesn't have the best of endings however it is still poetic, as to whether I would like to see it with this current Laura? No, he himself says so, maybe she looks like his wife but she is not the one I love.

1. Hellion

Wow in first place? It must be a surprise for those who follow my blog.

Getting serious talking about this ship is a long but interesting one, I would say it is one of the most natural relationships since from the first meeting it is imperfect, however Julian from the first moment he meets her although he doesn't fully understand her he doesn't judge her, for both it is as if they feel a genuine curiosity for each other, being Julian the first person who even seeks to integrate her to his group.

Something that Julian shows many times throughout the comics is his willingness to break the rules or lose everything in exchange for helping her, this even not exactly with feelings involved but because "she's important too" being the first person to make her feel worth it if you ask me; In Nyx's most recent comic #8 she lets us see more of their relationship, talking about the constant support that there was a genuine and pure love, however maybe it wasn't the time to be, after all they were two broken people that no matter how much they wanted they couldn't depend on each other and needed to heal separately.

However, even though this hurt at the time, there are comics that give us to understand that they could at least remain as friends, I will highlight one of the most important moments in Laura's life, which is the funeral of her "mother", where there was only immediate family, important people for her... And Julian, someone who managed to understand her and even when things were over decided to support her, although there is no dialogue in the scene the simple fact of his presence says a lot.

This already became long but Julian in short for me deserves the number one spot for being the first to see her clear and transparent, deciding to love her like that.

As an extra to add I want to say that Marjorie Liu wrote the characters so badly that only two things can be rescued, and also highlight that in an alternate future if they remained a couple and only ended because Julian died, and yet Laura still loved him, so if that is not love, what is?

Honorable mentions

Elixir, Spiderman and Surge

I'm not going to explain my guilty pleasure for these three because this could have been the thesis of my career, I'll just let the images explain themselves.
