Disagree calling it a pointless issue. This one and the past 3 others have been about tying up loose ends with Orchis before Sabretooth War began and the end of Percy run. Were team ups needed? Probably not, but I'm sure Percy wanted to have an opportunity to write them into a story. And they were all a fun read.

Dec 20, 2023Before we head into the New Year and a new arc for Wolverine, readers are treated with a team-up that will always be welcomed in Wolverine #40. The story is fun and delivers some great action moments but it does leave the reader wanting more. Read Full Review

Dec 20, 2023Wolverine's latest team-up is with Spider-Man for Wolverine #40. And while that's usually a fun dynamic, the bulk of the comic is spent in a dog fight in Earth's upper atmosphere. Read Full Review

Dec 20, 2023There have been a handful of good team-ups in this stretch of the story arc, but there have been some duds, too. This issue is more in the middle, with some fun moments, albeit mostly at the expense of Wolverine. For that reason, it's a bit a relief this story arc comes to a close as I'm happy to get back into Wolverine being more in line with the X-line, or at the very least more structure as Sabretooth War starts.

Another fun team-up for Wolverine before we get into the Sabretooth War storyline. Peter was just a LITTLE BIT much at times, but he was fun overall and I do think Percy did a solid job with him. I don't know how I missed that Moustafa was doing the interiors for this issue and not Juan José Ryp, but I also think he did a super solid job here.

The plot doesn't develop very far in this issue, and the art is a little rough (though only in comparison to previous issues). These are problems that are easy to overlook because Benjamin Percy hangs the book on a well-written, highly comedic Spider-Man. Plus, Logan does some productive self-examination. And by the end, the stage is nicely set for even bigger, bolder action to come.

Logan's run of team-ups comes to a close with his final partner being none other than Spider-Man. It's an odd inclusion since Spidey's been keeping busy saving Manhattan from the chaos of the Gang War event (there's even a mention of it in the issue), so how he had time to take a space-ride with Logan is a giant question mark. Wolverine also spends a good chunk of the issue incapacitated after losing consciousness in space. Benjamin Percy writes a lot of Spider-Man dialogue, which is a mix of genuinely funny moments mixed with been-there-done-that one-liners at Logan's expense. It's all just a pointless issue that reminds readers that Wolverine has basically been MIA from the rest of his mutant family throughout Fall of X. The ending makes more
