X-23: Target X #3

In "Target X Part Three," X-23 confronts the terrifying power of her conditioning as she recounts how her handlers used a specific scent to trigger her killing instinct—revealing a chilling memory of a past mission against one of the Kingpin’s rivals. When Desmond secretly spikes Debbie’s tea with the scent, the resulting chaos forces X-23 to face the consequences as she arrives home, just as the scent accidentally spills onto him. Written by Craig Kyle and Chris Yost, with dynamic art by Mike Choi and vibrant colors by Sonia Oback, this issue deepens the psychological stakes of X-23’s struggle, all captured in a striking cover by Mike Choi.
