So when Pierce approached X-Men writer Jonathan Hickman, of course he asked him point blank exactly how many dicks Wolverine has.

Hickman[...]

(Marvel Comics, creative team: Jonathan Hickman, Leinil Francis Yu, Sunny Gho and Clayton Cowles) Chuck full of philosophical ponderings and ineffable questions, this issue is heavy on concept and light on actual happenings Imagine, if you will, that you took a message board discussion of the morality and theories behind mutant resurrection, a core element of[...]

Superstar writer Jonathan Hickman has been bucking tradition since he began his HoXPoX relaunch of the X-Men last Summer While many comic book creators, for example, believe that the story should be told in the form of actual comics, Hickman prefers to relay large chunks of key information in infographics or prose pages Hickman has[...]

And by "doing our best" of course we mean that we're reading Twitter and seeing what tweets can be spun off into an article with a sensational headline.

But why? Could it have something to do with her own phasing powers somehow getting in the way of the teleportation? How are the portals created anyway?
