About the character
Laura Kinney was created as a female clone of Wolverine, engineered to be the perfect living weapon — who escaped her creators and forged her own identity. First appeared in NYX #3, later became Wolverine herself.
What is a first appearance worth?
NYX #3 has solid collector demand. A presentable raw copy in the UK typically attracts an offer in the low to mid three figures; high-grade or CGC-slabbed examples can push into four figures. Restored copies are worth less but still very much wanted — we buy across all grades and conditions.
Exact figures depend on grade and condition. See the full NYX #3 valuation guide →
