After a summer holiday and some postal delays, I am finally back covering all things Adamantium-laced. Although there are only two books to cover this month, I feel enough time has passed that I can do a Wolverine-centric review of Deadpool and Wolverine complete with spoilers. Life of Wolverine #1 Writer: Jim Zub | Artist: […]

Weapon X-Men #4 Writer: Christos Gage | Artist: Yildiray Cinar | Colourist: Nolan Woodard | Letters: Clayton Cowles I don’t want to come down too harshly on this as I have really enjoyed the series and even called it my sleeper hit of 2024. I think the best way to sum up this issue and […]
For me, Wolverine started as a Saturday morning cartoon character. In fact I saw the first X-Men movie before picking up a comic. This just goes to show the strength and popularity of the character, with 2024 his 50th year in comics which coincides with potentially his biggest and best outing on the big screen. […]

This past weekend I attended the inaugural Milton Keynes Mega Comic Con put on by Striking Events. They have been growing in stature over the last couple of years with a wide selection of conventions, especially in the southeastern area. I have been following their growth on Instagram, so when a convention in my home […]
Wolverine #47 Writers: Benjamin Percy & Victor LaValle | Artist: Geoff Shaw | Colourist: Alex Sinclair | Letters: Cory Petit As the cover promises Laura takes the lead role for the majority of the issue. And all I can say is it’s about damn time! I have been waiting for her to play a part […]

Weapon X-Men #1 Writer: Christos Gage | Artist: Yildiray Cinar | Colourist: Nolan Woodard | Letters: Clayton Cowles This was a lot of fun and I am not concerned to admit that my enjoyment of this really caught me off guard. I get sucked into anything with ‘Weapon X’ in the title and sometimes in […]
Wolverine Firsts These are the building block issues that made up the character to be “The best there is…” Oct-Nov 1974 Incredible Hulk #180-#181 Writer: Len Wein | Artist: Herb Trimpe | Inker: Jack Abel | Colourist: Glynnis Oliver | Letters: Artie Simek So where did it all begin? Rather simply like a lot of […]
Wolverine #43 Writers: Benjamin Percy & Victor LaValle | Artist: Geoff Shaw | Colourist: Alex Sinclair | Letters: Cory Petit This week I wanted to kick off talking about the cover. Modern covers tend to have a bad reputation. Perhaps there is an element of me being biased, but I love this cover by Lenil […]

Wolverine #41 Writers: Benjamin Percy & Victor LaValle | Artists: Geoff Shaw & Cory Smith | Inker: Oren Junior | Colourist: Alex Sinclair | Letters: Cory Petit I am a sucker for a good old-fashioned brawl between Wolverine and Sabretooth. They are actually few and far between when compared to other great comic book rivalries. […]
Up Front & Letters DAK uses some of the Up Front space in this issue to publish more letters. It’s all to do with this being the end of CI’s first year and everyone involved is in a mood to celebrate. The letters are basically singing the praises of a job well done and it […]
Wolverine #40 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artist: Ibrahim Moustafa | Clourist: Frank D’Armata | Letters: Cory Petit Wolverine and Spider-Man crossovers just work. Fact! I think because they are such polar opposites in terms of age and personality the chemistry just comes naturally, especially when the writer is at the top of their game, like […]
Predator vs Wolverine #3 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artists: Ken Lashley/Hayden Sherman/Kei Zama | Colourists: Juan Fernandez/Alex Guimaraes | Letters: Cory Petit So far this series has not missed a beat. Providing action packed entertainment whilst flirting around the edges of Wolverines extensive existing continuity. I was interested to see if this issue could keep […]
Wolverine #38 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artist: Juan Jose Ryp | Colourist: Frank D’Armata | Letters: Cory Petit How many times can I open these reviews by saying how fun a read it is? Well, as long as Percy keeps delivering at this level I will have to keep saying it. I will be the […]

Last week sadly and rather suddenly we lost the great Keith Giffen. There will only ever be one Keith Giffen. He was a creator who as writer and artist has left behind a legacy of amazing comics. He had runs on comics, that are legendary. Runs that inspired the next generation. Runs that reinvented the […]
X-23 Deadly Regenesis #4-#5 Writer: Erica Schultz | Artist: Edgar Salazar | Colourist: Carlos Lopez | Letters: Cory Petit I really don’t want to come down too harshly on this series. On a personal level, it just wasn’t for me, but there clearly is an audience for the character. Before I get into what is […]
Unfortunately I had some trouble getting all my comics on time this month to review them. On the positive, that means there will be a bumper review instalment next time round and there are some really good things to be unpack! I didn’t want to go a month without A Wolverine Wednesday so I thought […]
