1 | * BillingDisplacement: Although she's a relatively minor (though important to the plot) character, almost all anyone really remembers about the series is that it was X-23's first comics appearance. You can bet that any artwork or promotion of the series now will show X-23 quite prominently. |
2 | * CreatorKiller: The long delays that plagued the original miniseries, coupled with the resulting backlash, strongly contributed to the end of Quesada's career as a comic-book writer. After the series ended, he spent most of his time in his other roles at Marvel. |
3 | * FirstAppearance: ComicBook/{{X 23}} makes her first appearance in the comics. To this day, the only thing most people even remember about the series is that this is the series which made her a CanonImmigrant. |
4 | * ScheduleSlip: The series was originally intended as a regular monthly ongoing, however repeated delays in its release schedule mean issues often came out ''months'' later. The worst was a ''full year'' between the releases of issues 5 (September, 2004) and 6 (September, 2005). The frequent, and quite significant, delays ultimately led to the cancellation of the series after the conclusion of the first arc. |
5 | * TroubledProduction: The original miniseries suffered terrible delays because of Quesada's duties as Editor-in-Chief, and then, after four issues, Joshua Middleton left because his contract with Marvel ran out, forcing Quesada to find a new artist for the remaining three issues. |
6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
7 | ** ''NYX'' grew out of a concept for a series first developed by Creator/BrianWood to launch Marvel's MAX imprint, which would have starred ComicBook/{{Gambit|MarvelComics}}, Comicbook/{{Jubilee|MarvelComics}} and Comicbook/{{Rogue}}, as well as two new characters named Angie and Purge. Wood's take would've been a DarkerAndEdgier {{Deconstruction}} of the ''X-Men'' focusing on young mutants and the impact their powers would have on themselves and those around them in real life. He later recycled the basic premise of a more realistic and character-driven take on young superhumans for the creator owned and stand-alone series ''Comicbook/{{DEMO}}''. |
8 | ** The series was originally planned to be an ongoing. However the constant and significant delays (including a full ''year'' between the release of issues 5 and 6) led to it being cut to a miniseries. |
