To be fair, Iceman is set BEFORE All-New Wolverine, and he's under the effects of the Death Seed in that book, so that could explain the discrepancy there. It's a shame Marvel doesn't make it clearer where different books fall in relation to one another these days...

Jan 31, 2018The final page is so packed with emotion and puts such an elegant point on this story that I didnt see coming. And yet, it wouldnt have been a complete tale without it. This is definitely a story Ill read again and one that I cannot try to share enough. So, if youre game, and want a story with action, heart, great characters, and a dash of humor, do yourself a favor. Get All-New Wolverine #30. Find a quiet place and enjoy it. Read Full Review

Feb 12, 2018The final arc of the Orphan of X is an awesome book and a must-read for the fans. Not only do you get fast paced action and great dialogue, but it has an awesome moment and character development for the main character, Laura. Tom Taylor, Juann Cabal, and Nolan Woodard consistently delivered a great arc. I highly recommend this series and definitely shower this Legacy story with praise! Read Full Review

Feb 01, 2018ALL-NEW WOLVERINE #30 has the final confrontation between Laura, her family, and the Orphans of X. Tom Taylor weaves a story of Laura's regret and her chance for redemption. It's a surprising tale of shame and new beginnings, with strong art from Juann Cabal and Nolan Woodard. Read Full Review

Feb 02, 2018All-New Wolverine #30 sticks the landing for the Orphans of X arc. It returns to the things that made this arc initially interesting, and it takes a fairly nuanced look at the Orphans as characters. The art of Cabal and Woodard continues to be solid, and the comic gets a recommendation. Check it out. Read Full Review

Feb 01, 2018There's potentially a major change in the status quo at the end, but we'll see if Tom Taylor follows through on that promise. Overall, this was solid. Read Full Review

Feb 09, 2018Laura is sticking to her new peaceful ways of no killing. She tries to keep the peace between her and The Orphans despite everything that has gone down. Laura is wise, but perhaps a bit foolish. Read Full Review

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I JUST GOT AROUND TO READING THIS! Phenomenal story. Excellent in the best sense of the word. The whole story arc was fantastic. The story is so compelling. I love the characters more than ever. I love Gabby (Honey Badger) SO MUCH! She's so cute, and quite naive, but she's not stupid. The final page of this issue damn near brought me to tears. And that panel where Daken boops Gabby's nose had me DEAD lol. Every issue of this series has been sensational. There's too much to say about it. The conclusion was wonderful. 10 out of 10. Great job by Tom Taylor and Juan Cabal.

Perfect execution by Tom Taylor and Juan Cabal. This was the best arc of the whole series and All-New Wolverine 30 is the best issue yet. Even the haters liked this issue. Phenomenal

With Daken popping up all over the place lately there is some inconsistency in how they want his character to move forward. With solicitations showing him joining X-Men: Blue in April and his willingness to work with family in this arc I would say they are trying to soften him a bit. With his appearances in Iceman and pretty much anywhere else I would say he is staying the villain who only has the motivation to kill. That inconsistency is the only thing that really drags the story down for me. All-New Wolverine continues to be a joy to read as this story comes to a close. Gabby (now Honey Badger) is a delightful comic relief. The Orphans of X, who I once felt underwhelmed by, gains more interesting traits. It does create some confusion howe more

How turning my feeling about this arc with one single issue ? I believe most writer can't do that. But Taylor do it perfectly. A very very very good issue. With some best momentum for Laura. And not even with a fight. Because fighting is for dummies & Talking is way better (The doctor will be pride of her ^^) Gabby is nice too. Cover - Well the sentiment of been trap is nice. But even with the number on the Orphan of X side. That's not what I read. And in a way that's good. 1/2 Writing - Deserve a best writer prize somewhere. 3/3 Arts - I find cabal better on this one. Or I accustom myself to his art. 2.5/3 Feelings - Damn man I have my doubt. But what a end. 2/2

Great story. Fabulous art. However, uncomfortably similar subject and concept as Detective Comic's The Victim Syndicate, so that takes away originality from this saga.

Laura brings the Orphans of X story to a close with a satisfying twist on her "I refuse to be a weapon" theme. While revealing the Orphans as a frustrated support group works with that theme, it doesn't reconcile all that well with their previous portrayal: Global reach, attack helicopters, hordes of special ops goons. The road to get here was mighty bumpy, but I like where we've ended up.

To start with, what Taylor's doing with Daken is unacceptable. Completely destroying a well-established, complex and interesting character, and turn him into some soft idiot that is OUT OF LITERALLY NOWHERE a hero, instead of the complex villain we knew and wanted. The cover is, once again, a shameless lie. Somehow the Orphans caught 4 of the most deadly killers without losing any members. I want to read THAT comic, since it sounds way more interesting that this one. Deathstrike doesn't have a Healing Factor, she's a cyborg, but just like with Daken, Taylor has absolutely no idea of this character either. Somehow Laura is able to convince the psychos to do what she wants, which makes about zero sense. She's such a screwed up character that more
