A commissioned sketch from Mid-0hio Con 2010 of DC's Zatanna and Marvel's X-23.

Part of the point of the commission was that the two characters don't really fit together. The guy wanted two individual drawings, but then didn't want to pay for two separate commissions so he got them both together. Then he was like, "well, they don't really work together at all, but see if you can do something with that."

So I laid out a picture of a very exasperated Zatanna and an uncharacteristically delighted X-23 who discovered that bunnies that come from hats just may be her favorite thing in the world. Silly? Certainly. But fun!

I laid it out and drew Zatanna, Comfort drew X-23 and the bunnies. Oh, the bunnies.

Aaah, I just love X-23! She can be so damn adorable sometimes. :aww: Seeing her smile and have a blast like this makes me think she's trying to live the childhood she never had. The poor girl deserves her happiness more then anyone else. :heart:

As for it being out of character, well...It's not an uncommon thing artists do. I've seen plenty of pictures with Batman being all uncharacteristically happy like this as well. :XD: It's fun to poke a little fun into dark characters like X-23 and Batman sometimes, am I right? :)

It's easier for me to see X-23 having this moment (living that lost childhood, as you say) than Batman. She isn't defined by her grim attitude, it's just something that happens. Which means it's something that can un-happen over time. Used to be, Wolverine was a total d-bag asshat who'd go into uncontrollable rages and just start murdering people. Now he's different. Same could go for her, and I hope it does. Again, as you say, she deserves some happiness.

I agree. Characters DO evolve from time. And X-23 did very much evolve throughout the years. Sure, she's not quite there yet to live a normal life, but the amount of things that she has accomplished are well worth noting. I don't know if you followed X-23's journey like I did, but I can safely say that she has come a LONG way since she first debuted.

Word. And Zatanna would totally have been the gal to help, had they not darkened her up for the New52...
