Wolverine #1: Benjamin Percy, Adam Kubert, as well as Viktor Bogdanovic provide a excellent double function

Wave one of Dawn of X was absolutely a success, so it’s no surprise that we’re getting a great deal a lot more titles in Wave Two. To begin the second wave, we have Wolverine #1 from writer Benjamin Percy with artists Adam Kubert as well as Viktor Bogdanovic. This debut problem is massive: 68 pages featuring two full-length stories. as well as though Kubert is definitely the star artist here, Wolverine #1 would be just as excellent if the Bogdovic story was the debut. in spite of a large $7.99 cost tag, Percy, Kubert, as well as Bodgovic make every page worth the cost.

It’s a great thing that mutants can’t die anymore, because, on page two, a lot of of X-Force is dead. If this seems shocking, you haven’t been reading Percy’s X-Force run. Percy is brutal to his characters, as well as Kubert seems a lot more than delighted to put Wolverine with the grinder. It definitely appears like he did. however as unsettling as fierce as this is, the next pages are even crazier—Wolverine, on Krakoa playing hide-and-seek with children:

But the objective itself is the set-up of a excellent criminal offense story. somebody is stealing Krakoan seeds to produce a medication named “Pollen.” Beast reminds him that they are the “CIA” of Krakoa, which fits greatly, considering that we’re introduced to a weathered CIA agent who might care less about dignity. As the CIA as well as X-Force check out the source of Pollen, they come across medication lords as well as religious zealots…and somebody or something called the pale Girl. We don’t discover a great deal about her, other than that she required one mobster to shed out his own eyeball with a lighter.

Percy as well as Kubert are on their method to producing one of the very best Wolverine stories we’ve seen in over a decade (although he did spend a lot of of the last decade dead). as well as that’s just the very first 32 pages of the issue.

I like the art Adam Kubert delivers in Wolverine #1, as well as it goes completely with the story Benjamin Percy writes. however for me, the art from Viktor Bodgovic not only complimented Percy’s other brutal as well as crazy story, however felt even a lot more intense. as well as this story is bloody. It has to be, thinking about we’re taking care of vampires as well as Dracula as well as the return of one the biggest villains in Wolverine’s rogues’ gallery:

Yep, huge Red lastly pertains to Krakoa, as well as he’s seen much better days. seems that vampires are quite great at battling a mutant who has to leech the life force out of other living things. Wolverine wants him to get off the island, however Magneto reminds him of the new legislations of Krakoa, as well as forces Wolverine to check out whatever occurred to Omega Red. A few hours later, Wolverine is hanging upside-down with a spile in his neck:

Both stories in Wolverine #1 are about Blood—Literally as well as Metaphorically

First, a bit biology homework!

In one of the data pages in Wolverine #1, Percy supplies us with an explanation of exactly how Wolverine’s blood works, as you can see above. In Percy as well as Kubert’s story, Wolverine is out for blood. He wants revenge on whoever made him assault his teammates In Percy as well as Bodgovic’s story, the vampire nation wants Wolverine’s blood for reasons that ended up being evident when you recognize what’s happening on the last page:

Dracula, chilling with Omega Red on a sunny day. Wait…Dracula out on a sunny day? That’s not good. (Image: Wolverine #1 by Benjamin Percy, Art by Viktor Bogdanovic, marvel Comics)

Note: the editors may have put this page incorrectly. After “Catacombs,” the vampire story, there’s a data page that must opt for the very first story. This page, comparing Logan’s blood to a vampire’s, would make a lot more sense coming after the vampires acquire Logan’s blood.

But that does bit to detract from a excellent very first issue.

Grade: six Snikts!
