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.

Wolverine Wednesday #81 – 50th Birthday Celebration Part 4

by Ian Wells

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 Wednesday #78 – 50th Birthday Celebration Part 3

by Ian Wells

Wolverine is one of the most iconic heroes around and I mean both visually and characteristically. He has endured for 50 years in the comics and is now a big-screen powerhouse. He has an instantly recognisable aesthetic whether he is in costume or his street clothes. He even has the ability to change his fatigues […]

Wolverine Wednesday #77

by Ian Wells

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: […]

Wolverine Wednesday #75 – 50th Birthday Celebration Part 2

by Ian Wells

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 #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.

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 […]
