Comics: The Gathering - Ryan.L
Feb 19, 2020Overall this book is a masterpiece. From the art to the two outstanding stories, this is not only a must read for Wolverine fans, but for all x-fans and comic book fans in general. If you haven’t been reading ‘Dawn of X’ or read ‘House of X/Powers of X’ then you might be a little lost. That being said this is a series you don’t want to miss out on catch up on the others and then dive immediately into this book, you won’t regret it. Read Full Review

Feb 19, 2020About as good of a Wolverine comic as were liable to ever get, this issue serves up two distinct stories from a set of creators who seem like they were destined to work on this character. Theres also a surprising amount of new editions to the Wolverine mythos in these 70 pages. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Feb 19, 2020Adam Kubert brings some beautifully detailed panels to his story and there is a great contrast between the lush, stylish vision of Krakoa and the brutal sharpness of the outside world. Bogdanovic showcases the brutality of the character perfectly as his panels bathe Wolverine in darkness and shadows. Read Full Review

The Daily Fandom - Alex Smith-Petersen
Feb 24, 2020I really can't say enough how much I love the art in both parts. Kubert is a master, plain and simple. Martin really kills it in a book with a darker tone like this, really fleshing out the mood with his muted palette. Gritty pencils and heavy inks from Bogdanovic works wonders with Wilson's colors. Following up on Kubert with Martin is a hell of a daunting task. But these two are more than up for the challenge. You can't ask for a more competent art team, much less two of them. Drawing Wolverine with a scowl is simple enough, but the range on display in his expression is top-notch. The only tragedy here is that not every issue is going to function like this.

Comic Watch - Ross Hutchinson
Feb 19, 2020it's a double feature with an issue one that showcases exactly why Benjamin Percy is the writer to take us onward into the next era of stories about Marvel's most popular Canadian mutant. Percy obviously loves the character and that comes through in the writing. This combined with top-notch art from Kubert, Bogdanovic and the art teams make it a very solid and promising start to the series that really makes you feel like you got your moneys worth for this oversized issue.

AIPT - David Brooke
Feb 18, 2020Overall I was impressed with this extra-long issue. Wolverine is back and he has not one, but two very big mysteries to solve. I could argue introducing two entirely different stories is a bold move in a first issue, but that might be due to the artists trading off from issue to issue. One delves into the nature of Wolverine losing control and losing his memory while the other plays around with his powers in a new and exciting way. This book emphatically reminds us Wolverine is inherently important to X-Men comics and the greater Marvel universe too. A strong first stab and crimson-hued look at the greatest loner superhero ever. Read Full Review

GWW - christopher scott
Feb 19, 2020The storylines contained in this issue are amazingly good. For instance, being brought into seeing the breadth in which Krakoa is towards the mutants made the initial start of "Catacombs" inviting and intriguing. The content of the story and dialog contained enriched the stories and pulled you into Logan's emotional journey. The artwork presented by both artists is striking and helps pull you into the story. Some of the darkened hues and a couple of the tight close-ups of characters felt slightly disconnected but overall didn't harm the flow. Overall, a very exciting, deep issue with outstanding feel and visuals. Read Full Review

Feb 20, 2020Whenever Wolverine starts branching out into additional series, it's acause for concern on my part. Call it the result of being a veteran ofthe character's extreme overexposure over the years. But Percy and hisartists are on the right path here so far. The stories are resonant andthe art is very good, making Wolverine another successful launchin the Dawn of X. Read Full Review

Feb 18, 2020Given the embarrassment of riches on the art front, enhanced by a whopping 60 pages of story, Wolverine #1 is a solid start for this new X-title - but given how long the classic Wolverine has been on the continuity bench, it's easy to feel like "solid" isn't enough. Read Full Review

Geek'd Out - Zee Huff
Feb 19, 2020I think there's something for everyone in Wolverine. Percy spins plates like crazy, plays in two completely separate genres, and still manages to give Logan's demons their due. Do you want an X-Force spin-off? Great. A mystery with intrigue ripped from the headlines? Awesome. A horror-slash-adventure romp? Excellent. This book has all of that andsomekiller art. Even if I felt sometimes distracted from the character work by overwrought action, this book made me, a Wolverine skeptic, interested in the man behind the claws. Benjamin Percy cares about that man too, and he's nowhere near done with him. Read Full Review

Feb 20, 2020There will be fans who are looking forward to a new Wolverine book. Whilst the Krakoa situation certainly adds a different spice to proceedings, at this early stage, this issue isn't that "all new or all different"; for some that might be great, for others less so. Truth be told, regardless of how popular Wolverine is, I could take or leave this new book. Read Full Review

a tremendous start!!! I can't think of a single negative thing to say about it. both stories are awesome and I can't wait for the next issue! adam kubert is one of the best artists in the industry and does what he always does which is draw a masterful wolverine. I read a ton of books but there are two characters in wolverine and daredevil that I absolutely love and always hope they are handled by top tier writers and artists and I am so pleased with the teams that are on both books marvel has done a phenomenal job with those teams and the results show.

Like many of us, Wolverine was my favorite X-Men character. The gruff loner with the mysterious past that scared the hell out of hero and villain alike was an easy fan favorite. Over time due to overexposure and demystification of the character Wolverine lost some of his lusters. It also didn't help that he'd continually been watered down and softened up over the years. Long gone were the glory days of Larry Hama and Chris Claremont. Ben Percy has a great voice for wolverine and Kubert is an absolute legend. I can honestly say that this is the best Wolverine comic that I've read in at least a decade. The only knock I can throw at the comic is the $8.00 cover price. I know that this is a double-sized issue and that there is a dem more

After 6 extremely long years, we finally have a Logan solo series again. Percy, Kubert, and Bogdanovic don't disappoint with this oversized first issue. Percy writes in plenty of bloodiness but also does a great job of writing in Logan's humane side as well. The art is tremendous in both stories, especially Kubert's. My sole complaint is that the 2nd story tries way too hard to make Omega Red feel like a meaningful character.

Prelude: Time for Wolverine's new series. Percy has been doing a wonderful job on X-Force so let's see if he can keep that up for Wolverine. The Good: Love seeing Wolverine on Krakoa. The C.I.A angle is cool and an interesting choice to reflect Wolverine and X-Force. The infographics in this issue are great. I love seeing how Krakoa affects other countries. Cool seeing Dracula. Kubert's art is great. Bogdanovic's is great for his story too. The Bad: Conclusion: A wonderful start from Percy. I preferred the first story but the second was great too.

Awesome. Both stories are intersting and fitting for the Wolverine character. About him being off by himself investigating a mystery and the violence that goes along with it. The art is amazing in both, Bogdanovic and Kubert are amazing artists who really capture the gore and detail that a Wolverine book should have. Looks like another winner for Dawn of X

First Story: Wolvie and his Uncanny Friends vs. Cannibal Cult, is fine except that certain character "deaths" have very little impact (If any at all) due to the background knowledge that everyone can simply resurrect via the Goldballs-and-Company process. Otherwise, pretty neat overall. Second Story: Wolvie vs. Vampires (feat. Omega Red), is another kick ass story. However, I kinda wish there was more background information (like a Hickman info-dump page) on Omega Red. Specifically who he is and why wolverine hates him so much (I'm still pretty new to X-Stuff. I jumped in on the HOX/POX bandwagon), but that's just me. Overall great first issue (though I guess it will be over a month for issue 2...)

Two separate stories pit Logan against a drug cartel stealing Krakoan flowers and the Vampire Nation, respectively. Storytelling throughout is awesome, but I find the first story more compelling than the second. It feels like a sweet side-line to X-Force, whereas the second story is just the zillionth rendition of Dracula popping into a Marvel book to do some vague foreshadowing. Louise and the Nightguard are pretty cool, though. It feels like it's time for Marvel to start up a dedicated anti-Dracula title again instead of just endlessly guest-starring him.

A really good start to this series here. I must say that I enjoyed the first story more than the second, though. The first story was super intriguing and I really liked what was being set up. Plus, Kubert's art was absolutely fantastic throughout. As for the second half of the book, I think it started off really good, dipped in quality a bit towards the middle, but still ended strong with Omega Red and Dracula. Bogdaknovic's art was pretty solid as well. I'm interested to see how both stories develop and, possibly, come together in the issues that follow.

Two really solid stories, each with some great moments of Wolverine, a grand and warm re-welcoming of our clawed maniac from Canada. For eight bucks, its a little overpriced, but its worth it in my opinion. First story deals with this illegal drug trade of mutant petals that is being smuggled out of Krakoan's shipments, and Wolverine has got to investigate. Along side that is the CIA introducing a agent named Joe Bannister, also investigating this trade, but is also dealing with a tragedy as well. This issue adds this tinge of emotional tug with Wolverine and Bannister which I found nice. Next story we got was this vampire story with Wolverine and some catholic vampire hunter. Really fun. There was this blood dripping scene that made me more

Percy, you have my attention. The two stories in this issue are everything a Wolverine story should be: dark, mysterious and with a little bit of twisted humour. Love the art by Kubert, perfect for this series.

Don't really have time to write full reviews for this week or last week's comics, but for now I'll write a brief description of what I thought. I might go back and elaborate later. I'll probably be able to write full reviews next week. Oh, and if there's anything from this week I haven't got around to, I'll review those later. As for the issue, I liked it. Not as much as I was hoping to, but it was enjoyable. The first story was great, but I found the second one boring and the art in the second story was really weak.

"Who the hell are you?" The first story was interesting but really slow. Because of not the greatest pacing is was a bit of a slog to get through. But writing and the dialogue are solid. Percy has already shown it in X-Force and proves it here. His Wolverine sounds great and he plays hide and seek with kids. Awesome. I'm also interested in Mr. Bannister, especially in that scar on his head and how he got it. Good art. Rating - 6,5 The second story was way more fun. Pacing is better, the story is more engaging and Bogdanovic's art is just amazing. Yeah, Wolverine hunting vampires is as awesome as it sounds. Rating - 7,5

This issue could have been your standard size and would have worked out fine. Second story was too lengthy and predictable. I was hoping for Wolverine this feels like an old X-Men tale...Art was ok. I was expecting a lot on this one so I'm kind of let down.
