Thoughts

The cover is no lie here – in this issue Wolverine fights the Converted Kitty. Its a nice sequence, not least because it really feels like the bad guys have spotted a real weakness in Logan. He will struggle when confronted by a friend – especially if the friend is a kid.

In fact – readers rarely see Wolverine as wrong-footed as he is here. Normally his obstacles are being up against – being up against impossible foes and grimly persevering. But here he’s shocked and to some extent clueless. It’s nice to see the character taken to a new place.

Alongside the big front cover title fight – there’s a nice little subplot for Yukio here. As Wolverine’s Manic Pixie Dream Ninja she often seems a little too conveniently the perfect love that cannot be. So its nice to see her get her own subplot – and at least enjoy her reckless adventuring without it coming with declaration for love for Logan.

Fun Panel

A rare outing for shocked Wolvie face!
