  Wolverine #21 succeeds because it understands the value of slowing down. Following recent events, the issue gives Logan room to breathe while highlighting one of Marvel's most enduring friendships. Julius Ohta's artwork brings warmth, humor, and personality to every page, particularly through Nightcrawler's infectious optimism and Wolverine's discomfort outside his usual element.
