Parental Advisory
While Taylor is using a much more classical approach of weaving the science fiction weirdness of the X-Men into analogues for found/queer family, the net result between the two is that while the X-Men line may be a rapidly diminishing part of Marvel's overall portfolio, the heart and soul of the franchise remains alive and well.

All-New Wolverine #3 continues to be the stand out series from the X-Men universe, with the creative team giving us a fun and intriguing take on Laura Kinney. They also give us some gripping twists as although there were a couple of moments that disappointed, the issue as a whole was a joy to read. Read Full Review
All-New Wolverine has the distinction of being the best of Marvel's new X-books so far. This issue continues that trend, as Tom Taylor digs deeper into the relationship between Laura and her clones and pits them against Taskmaster. Read Full Review
Nethertheless, ALL-NEW WOLVERINE #3 was a fairly enjoyable issue, neither lacking in the breath-taking action scenes a good Wolverine book should have nor the humor and sensitivity for characters we find in any good X-book. Read Full Review
ALL-NEW WOLVERINE has become one of my favorite titles under the All-New, All-Different Marvel banner. I just can't get enough of this book. Read Full Review
That aside, this was another fun issue. All-New Wolverine seems to combine the colorful, quirky style of modern comics like Hellcat and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl with the action-packed adrenaline rush of a standard Wolverine comic. I like it. There's action galore, from claw fights to rocket-launchers and all manner of explosions. But Taylor also has a lot of quirky adorableness too, especially with the clones. This book isn't afraid to have fun. The story is a little too specific, I think, in that I don't really get an overall sense of the purpose or direction of the comic. This is just Wolverine on a very specific adventure. That can be well and good on its own, but I'm hoping Taylor can widen his scope over time and fill in some of the sidelines. Read Full Review
I really want to like this book more than I have, and I believe it is still getting its footing as a new story. While X-23 is the obvious choice to take over the mantle of Wolverine, it begs the question: does anyone need to? Read Full Review
This is one of my favorite books from the Marvel reboot, it actually feels different, doesn't fall into stupid plot ideas, and is all in all an excellent book.
Prelude:
All-New Wolverine has been a lot of fun so far, let's see how this issue goes.
The Good:
Okay I really love Gabby.
Lopez and Navarrot's art is great as always.
Interesting set up for next issue.
It's very entertaining.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
A great, fun and entertaining issue. This series is really starting to pick up track now.
Great issue all-around. Taylor continues to write probably the best Laura since the Liu series, but Gabby is stealing every panel she's in. She's just an adorable little killing machine!
I did knock a few points off because the Taskmaster fight was kind of anticlimactic, but the rest of the issue was loaded with action, particularly a spectacular car chase. Lopez's art continues to impress, and really makes the action scenes pop.
Another strong issue reinforcing Laura's ethical dilemma. She wears the mantle of a killer who fought for his humanity. To cheapen these "clones" as property is to cheapen herself. I really like how personal this story has been so far. She is fighting for her own humanity. The art continues to be solid and I loved the conclusion of the Taskmaster fight. This issue hit high points with action, character development and levity.
First off a want to say how good Lopez’s art is. Although the Taskmaster vs Laura fight was kinda disappointing, Laura’s interactions between Gabby, Bellanova, and Zelda give her more depth as a character. I love how Laura seems to have learned from Logan’s mistakes, as she promises to not kill during this Alchemax conflict. I’m intrigued to see if Laura’s clones or Alchemax will be the main antagonist of this arc
Tom Taylor has a bad habit of shafting guest characters which I think he ends up doing with taskmaster,
Still Laura is good and I’m interested in how this plays out, and the reveal of alchemax putting a tracking device in Laura was really clever IMHO, especially when you read the pervious issues with that in mind
