Unfortunately, no Wolverine on the inside. All in all, a very auspicious start to what promises to be an interesting series. From Marvel: "The original Invaders (Captain America , Bucky , Human Torch ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/11/covers-avengersinvaders-1/ Secret Invasion #1 Writer: Brian Michael Bendis; Penciler: Leinil Yu I've reread this issue several times trying to put my finger on exactly what I don't like about it. I've enjoyed some of Bendis' buildup ('Mighty Avengers' #12 is excellent) and hated others ('New Avengers' #40 is dreadful). And this issue, unfortunately falls into ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/10/review-secret-invasion-2/ Logan #3 Writer: Brian K. Vaughan; Artist: Eduardo Risso Eduardo Risso's artwork continues to impress but a disappointing concluding chapter by Brian Vaughn closes out what had been a terrific series. Logan, the mutant who cannot die ('Logan Dies' notwithstanding), is confronted by another who conceivably cannot die -- the proof being his ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/09/review-logan-3/ Marvel Comics Presents #8 "The Rabbit Hunt" Writer: Andy Schmidt; Artist: Marco Turini This eight-page Cyclops & Wolverine tale features a somewhat forgettable story and extraordinarily uneven art. Marco Turini's rendering of Wolverine wearing cowboy hat looks more like comic relief from an old Western than a menacing superhero. Flip through the story at your ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/08/review-marvel-comics-presents-8/ Ultimate X-Men #93 'Apocalypse, Conclusion' Writer: Robert Kirkman; Artist: Harvey Tolibao First thing's first... Nipple-less Phoenix? And I won't even go near her hairless, genitalia-less... um... woman's trousers area. With that out of the way (and believe me, it's hard to ignore), Robert Kirkman wraps up his 'Ultimate X-Men' run (after 27 issues) with a ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/07/review-ultimate-x-men-93/ Avengers/Invaders Sketchbook Sketch Materials: Alex Ross Penciled Pages: Steve Sadowski This free preview of the 'Avengers/Invaders' mini-series is full of stunning pencil sketches by Alex Ross and equally impressive penciled pages by Steve Sadowski. And the finished covers by Alex Ross (four are reproduced inside) promise to be as awe-inspiring as always. If you ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/06/review-avengersinvaders-sketchbook/ Mighty Avengers #12 Writer: Brian Bendis; Artist: Alex Maleev Wolverine only has a brief cameo lifted directly from the pages of 'Secret Wars.' But Bendis finally does reveal where Nick Fury has been all this time and the result is surprisingly good. In fact, this issue is so well-written that it should have been ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/05/review-mighty-avengers-12/ X-Force (Vol. 2) #3 'Angels & Demons, Part 3' Writer: Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle; Artist: Clayton Clay Wolverine and X-Force don't make much of an appearance as the villains take center stage. But next issue promises to be a doozy. However... I still don't like the costumes. If you want to run a black ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/04/review-x-force-3/ Uncanny X-Men #497 "Divided We Stand, Part Three" Writer: Ed Brubaker; Artist: Mike Choi Not a whole lot of plot for Wolverine and company this issue. And that, folks, is a good thing. As Wolverine says, "Meet you guys outside!" A genuinely terrific fight sequence in the skies over the former Soviet Union makes for a ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/03/review-uncanny-x-men-497/ Wolverine: First Class #2 "Surprise!!" Writer: Fred Van Lente; Artist: Andrea Di Vito This series continues to be a pleasant surprise, especially if you can transport your mind back to the '80s while reading it. Take the 'Ninja Dojo' restaurant -- it may seem a little over the top now, but back at this ... http://www.typingmonkeys.com/wolverine/2008/05/02/review-wolverine-first-class-2/
