Ultimate Wolverine #9-#10 Writer: Chris Condon | Artists: Alessandro Cappuccio/Alex Lins | Colourist: Bryna Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit We now know that Ultimate Wolverine will finish with #16, and the Ultimate Universe as a whole will end in January. So yes, we are in the endgame now! Over the course of the first 5 […]
Ultimate Wolverine #8 Writer: Chris Condon | Artist: Alessandro Cappuccio | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit Now there is as much mystery around the release of this series as the story itself. I read recently that the series had been increased to run twelve issues. I haven’t been up to date reading solicitations, […]
Ultimate Wolverine #6-#7 Writer: Chris Condon Artists: Alex Lins & Alessanro Cappuccio | Colours: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit This series continues to deliver on entertainment across these two issues. They both add to the tapestry of the series so far and continue to build the world. With recent news dropping at SDCC regarding […]
I have had some trouble receiving my comics lately, and I must add it is something out of the hands of my LCS. So after 2 months, I am missing Ultimate Wolverine #3 and Sabretooth: The Dead Don’t Talk #4. So with Ultimate Wolverine, I will soldier on and keep reviewing the series. With Sabretooth, […]
Wolverine #6 Writer: Saladin Ahmed | Artist: Martin Coccolo | Colourist Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit As I predicted last issue this arc is not wrapping up with the sixth issue. On the positive side of this turn of events, Ahmed does a good job of keeping the story ticking. This is done by […]
Ultimate Wolverine #1 Writer: Chris Condon | Artist: Alessandro Cappuccio | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit First of all, I think it’s good to have an Ultimate universe back that is generating such a buzz. I have heard Spider-Man is very good, whilst I myself am very interested in The Ultimates and will […]
Sabretooth: The Dead Don’t Talk #1 Writer: Frank Tieri | Artist: Michael Sta. Maria | Colourist: Dono Sanchez-Almara | Letters: Joe Sabino With a backlog of comics for November and December this was actually the one I was most looking forward to digging into. I’m sure I have made it common knowledge that Frank Tieri […]
50: Wolverine (v1) #87 W: Larry Hama P: Adam Kubert I: Dan Green C:Marie Javins This issue was never not going to make the list. I choose it because it centres around Maverick but of course, it is a Wolverine story first and foremost. When I got into collecting Wolverine comics one of the things […]
Wolverine #2 Writer: Saladin Ahmed | Artist: Martin Coccolo | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters:Cory Petit I think it is best to describe my review of Wolverine #1 as lukewarm, although I had plenty of positives to talk about. Admittedly I was expecting more of the same going into the second instalment, but I was […]
Wolverine #1 Writer: Saladin Ahmed | Artist: Martin Coccolo | Colourist: Bryan Valenza | Letters: Cory Petit Wolverine comes roaring back with a new number one. It’s good that we didn’t have too long a wait between one series ending and the next one starting. After all, we are in his 50th year so he […]
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. […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
