Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. -- Psalm 69:6 |

Wolverine #300
Marvel Comics
Aaron, Kubert, Mounts, Garney, Keith, Sanders & Soto Colors
Wolverine reaches its giant anniversary issue through re-numbered and some creative math with another good issue in what has been a terrific run for writer Jason Aaron. The issue is set almost entirely in Japan as Wolverine takes a road trip to settle a conflict and find his lost, adoptive daughter. The book plays with a lot of the classic Wolverine stereotypes (such as ninjas) very well as Jason Aaron continues to poke fun at the absurd continuity that this overexposed character has over the past couple of decades. There is a good story in here and this is the kick-off issue for larger arc. The five dollar price tag isn't terrible when you consider you get thirty pages of main story, a five page preview of a Jeph Loeb Wolverine story, cover gallery and sketches. It's a good package for your comic book dollars.
Just when Logan has a moment to breathe, the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning is visited by THE FUTURE as red-hot artist Nick Bradshaw joins superstar writer Jason Aaron in Wolverine & The X-Men #4! After a rocky opening courtesy of the new Hellfire Club, school is in session with new students and new faculty joining the roster – including X-Force's Deathlok.

Wolverine #19
Marvel Comics
Aaron, Garney & Keith
Wolverine #19 brings an abrupt end to the "Goodbye Chinatown" storyline with another fun issue. The book raced along at such a fast pace I was taken aback that this was the end of the arc. Overall, I liked the issue and found the swift ending to be refreshing compared to the normal six-part arcs these days. I'm not sure this is the kind of Wolverine story that the masses like to see but it was good fun all around from my perspective.
Something has gone terribly wrong when Quentin Quire is the X-Men's only hope of survival! The acclaimed team of Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo close out their explosive first arc in Wolverine & The X-Men #3 as the team desperately fights through everything the new Hellfire Club throws their way. Will Quire and Wolverine see eye to eye and save the new Jean Grey School for Higher Learning? Find out in Wolverine & The X-Men #3!

Wolverine #18
Marvel Comics
Aaron, Garney & Keith
Jason Aaron continues a very light-hearted story that is throwing so many odd components into one book you can't help but enjoy the ride. The second part of the "Goodbye, Chinatown" arc has the irrelevant Regenesis banner on the cover but the book is really a continuation of a previous mini-series from a few years ago that had to do with the Manifest Destiny crossover. This book is supposed to be Wolverine cleaning up loose ends in San Francisco but Wolverine gets sidetracked and teams up with a bizarre mix of characters. The book has action, good dialogue, it's funny and it contains a surprise or two. I'm not sure I am looking for much more in a comic book.
Media Release -- Someone has Wolverine's money and he's determined to get it back in your first look At Wolverine #19! From the fan favorite creative team of Jason Aaron and Ron Garney, X-Men Regenesis continues deep in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown as Logan finds himself paired up with Immortal Weapon Fat Cobra and Gorilla Man. Except when the three have to go up against the world's newest and most powerful drug dealer…what's waiting for them at the gates of his underground stronghold is not at all what they expected. Want to know what Wolverine and crew are up against and if they'll all make it out alive? Find out this December in Wolverine #19!

Wolverine #17
Marvel Comics
Aaron, Garney & Keith
Billed as the perfect jumping on point I found this issue of Wolverine to be fun, accessible and provide an interesting enough story to continue reading future issues. The book picks up from some major events in Wolverine's life but before he can begin to deal with the fallout or start anew he's sidetracked into some old problems that he seems to have ignored for too long. This issue may not be Wolverine fighting Omega Red or Sabretooth but it sure has enough in it to keep me entertained throughout. This was a good read.
The biggest change to the X-Men in twenty years is here as mutantkind is divided in two historic, all new series—Uncanny X-Men #1 and Wolverine & The X-Men #1. But that's not all, bub-- Marvel is pleased to announce that Wolverine & The X-Men #1, previously priced at $4.99, will now be priced at $3.99, with no reduction in content! That's right, now the extra-sized Wolverine & The X-Men #1 and extra-sized Uncanny X-Men #1 are both only $3.99 each, allowing even more fans to check out the books that set the stage for the comics event of 2012!
