Wolverine #13

Wolverine #13 is a satisfying follow-up to X-Force #20 that moves major story threads along while revealing how dark Beast's ideas about keeping Krakoa safe are. It may not be a Wolverine story, but it's one of the most exciting Hellfire Gala chapters yet. Read Full Review

Eaton delivers some great art in the issue. There are some exciting action moments throughout and the energy of the story was captured in the art. Read Full Review

Overall this was an adequate issue. It had some moments of excitement and political intrigue but many of it was overshadowed by the actions of a leader. Read Full Review

Gets the job done on some ongoing storylines, whatever those jobs might be. Read Full Review

Wolverine #13 is barely a Wolverine comic but does keep the story chugging along and gives Beast an interesting character beat. Read Full Review

Wolverine #13 is an okay issue of X-Force. If someone bought it hoping to see Wolverine or whats on the cover, thats not whats in there. It sets up some cool stuff for the future, and Percy is always entertaining, but its nothing special. Eatons artwork is aggressively mediocre, which is a pretty good way to describe this issue in general. Read Full Review

This felt like another issue of X-Force rather than a solo Wolverine issue. And that's okay with me! Wolverine #13 is an entertaining and satisfying end to this mini two-parter within the Hellfire Gala event.

I love this story arc. That's simple: it has mystery, violence, ethical questions and action. THIS is what Wolverine and X-Force should always be!

Good issue. I like asshole Beast. I wish this had more Wolverine in it though.

A nice follow-up to the last issue of Percy's X-Force (#20). It would have been nice if this was more of what we got on the cover or even just more Wolverine-focused, but I can't complain that much when the story is still good. I continue to enjoy the version of Beast throughout this run and X-Force, as I think the character has a lot of potential to give way to great stories.

I don't buy Wolverine or Deadpool but thought this might be a fun read. I was underwhelmed by the writing. I had to check the cover to make sure I hadn't bought another X book. Wolvie & Deadpool are hardly even in it. The artwork was serviceable & was nothing to get excited about.

90% filler. Though I did enjoy the Beast and Emma Frost conversation.

How X-Force cleans up Beast's Terra Verde mess. I like the aftermath and the pivot toward the next arc, but the action scenes are unsatisfying and the abrupt way the conflict ends is clumsy. I think Wolverine's part was padded in an unsuccessful attempt to hide the fact this is X-Force #20.5. But on the plus side, I like the art, so in the end I'll call this a touch above average.

Beast is not wrong, come down from your moral high horse, Emma, sure, dude brainwashed a country, that's bad; but you just claimed a PLANET that wasn't yours and proclaimed it capital of the solar system, that's ten times worse because it will probably lead to war.

...Beast attempted a coup d'état, violated several people's bodily autonomy, using them as puppets, and planned to do that with every government on Earth... And you think that's not as bad as the Mutants claiming a lifeless planet as their own and terraforming it?

Merlyn - Jun 29, 2021

Yes, it's bad but it's not as bad just by the scale of it. Beast screwed over a nation and he was a jerk about it, true. But mutants screwed over an entire planet and basically made a declaration of war/obedience to all of humanity. Their actions have a much broader scope than his.

Merlyn - Jun 29, 2021

The mutants got away with Beast's actions without much damage overall. They won't get away with what they did at the Gala, not without bloodshed.

Psycamorean - Jun 30, 2021

They were already headed towards that as soon as they started their island nation. Even faster when Arakko popped up. There is no solution that humanity will be okay with.

Merlyn - Jun 30, 2021

Because colonizing a planet with violent war-torn mutants and proclaiming it capital of the solar system without consulting anyone else, a system that Earth defended time and time again, is a harmless action and not a deliberate flexing of muscles and douchiness from mutants,no.

Psycamorean - Jun 30, 2021

I didn't say it wasn't, but it's very clear through the establishment of Orchis and... the X-Men's entire history that humans would find an excuse to war with mutants regardless. But I do think terraforming a dead planet and colonizing it is not as bad as Beast's plan, morally speaking.

Merlyn - Jun 30, 2021

Again, the consequences after what Beast did are...none. That's partly because Percy wrote it badly but the end result is all is well. You can't say that after the Gala. I agree that for most of the X-Men's history, the humans did terrible things. Though it should be said, some mutants weren't boy scouts either lol. But after HoX-PoX there's a clean slate for mutants and humans alike. And, in this context, the mutants pushed things to a whole new level with this dick move.

Merlyn - Jun 30, 2021

For the first time maybe, if humans do retaliate after this, they're completely right to do so.

Psycamorean - Jun 30, 2021

Wait no, it wasn't a clean slate. HoX/PoX showed the humans had been developing Orchis for years, and their goal is to eradicate mutants. This isn't some fringe element either.

Merlyn - Jun 30, 2021

And the mutants claimed they were humanity's gods, Magneto told the ambassadors that to their faces. That was, in itself, a declaration of war, too, btw. It was a clean slate in as much as it can be a clean slate between two such groups. Of course humanity will always have secret groups with contingency moves against groups of super-powered people, that's pretty logical.

Psycamorean - Jun 30, 2021

But it wasn't a contingency, they were about to launch the Mother Mold. This was before the mutants unveiled Krakoa to the world.

Merlyn - Jun 30, 2021

I'll have to re-read HoX-PoX to check if that's true, but my overall point is that this was a moment when, politically, mutants and humans were on a more equal footing and mutants deliberately made a dick move that wasn't really necessary. If humans do retaliate after this no one would blame them. In the past the X-Men were victims but here they're the aggressors and humanity is in the right to defend itself now.

reading conversation between emma and beast made me realise I really don't want to read wolverine and x-force

Garbage. Yet another crossover issue that has nothing to do with Wolverine, unless you read the whole story arc you won't understand anything (I sure didn't). Reminds me of issue #7, Wolverine was hardly in it and it was really a X-force story. It feels like every 5 issues there's a crossover now. I'm sure Percy is forced to go along with it, but it doesn't seem like he puts much effort on crossovers to make it a Wolverine story. Moving on.
