FYI, the book is double-shipping this month, so we'll have a second issue (I think next week).
OLD WOMAN LAURA BEGINS!
In the not-too-distant future, the world is a utopia where heroes have succeeded in bringing peace worldwide. At the head of this utopia is none other than Laura Kinney, who's passed on her mantle of Wolverine and is living her best life as Madripoor's benevolent queen. But a long simmering evil will force Laura, out of retirement and back into the blue-and-yellow. This final journey will take everything Laura has to give....maybe even her life.

ALL-NEW WOLVERINE #33 is an exciting tale featuring a somber start for our hero. Beautiful art helps makes the future interesting and unique compared to the grim and grittiness we're used to. Read Full Review
All-New Wolverine #33 is bittersweet but hopeful all the same, filled with good humor in the face of daunting odds. Nobody writes Laura and Gabby like Tom Taylor, and with "Old Woman Laura," he and the rest of the team absolutely do not disappoint. Read Full Review
This issue is a good read because it does a great job with flashbacks and retouching important events. I would love to see the Doom War in the X-23 storyline. Clift hangers always keep me on my toes and we definitely have a big one. What could Gabby have done? The art by Rosanas is solid and detailed. Read Full Review
Though the plot is by-the-numbers so far, that doesn't reallymatter when the main goal is to make the reader say, "ooh, lookit what happens to …" a half-dozen happy times. That goal is capably achieved (though some stronger visuals could have made the results even more memorable). Tom Taylor and company have another two issues to spice up the story and make it just as rewarding as all the "lookit this crazy awesome future" revelations in #33; I have every confidence in their ability to do so.

Despite the beautiful art and intriguing plot, the whole issue felt a bit slow and flat. It doesn't have much of a pulling factor yet but it is definitely a promising arc for the series. We'll just have to wait and see how the story develops next issue. Read Full Review
All-New Wolverine #33 starts ‘Old Woman Laura' on an intriguing note, giving us the image of a future where everything turns out alright, but Laura still has unfinished business. On the surface, it seems incurious about the premise its established, but the door is open to address these things. Rosanas and Woodards artwork is solidly good. I can recommend this one. Give it a read. Read Full Review
On paper, the idea of "Old Woman Laura" has sounded like it would be a sort of mixed bag. But this first installment in the arc sneaks up on you in a delightful amount of ways. Read Full Review
If you like alternate future storylines, this one is perfectly adequate. Read Full Review
All-New Wolverine #33 is a solid start to Tom Taylor's final story arc on this series, "Old Woman Laura." Taylor gave us something different as we got to see a more positive future Marvel Universe. That setting made Laura going on her final adventure as Wolverine have a more personal feel to it. Though where All-New Wolverine #33 falls short is with the involvement of the main antagonist of the story. That is something that is hopefully improved on in the following issues. Read Full Review
Old Man Logan was a violent, bloody, sad, revenge comic so you’d think Old Woman Laura would be something like that. Instead we get the most realistic future for the Marvel Universe ever. This Old Woman Laura timeline perfectly balances tragedy and triumph as the heroes of the world won, besides Dr Doom. I hate Gabby’s haircut but that doesn’t matter too much Imao. Laura is dying and before she goes out, she wants to kill Doom and save her long lost sister, Bellona. Oh, and Gabby’s husband is named Taylor. Like Tom Taylor. I love that😂😂
I feared I would dislike it. But I loved it a lot. After Kitty (In X-men the end), it's now Kamala who take the lead as president of USA. Nice.
I really like Gabby as wolverine. The story about been literally squash by thanos make me fear for her now. And I hope we will never have this dumb Doom War in a marvel futur event. That said. I loved it very much & was really touch about Laura condition.
Cover - 2/2 Nice & well link to the story.
Story - Damn I will miss my All New Wolverine shoot each month. No way I will follow the X23 with the creative team implicated ! 3/3
Arts - Damn that was good. Thanks to letting us have a nice goodby without Cabal (Working on X23 sadly). 3/3
Feeling - I wonder what the cliffh more
I was not looking forward to this issue because the Old Woman Laura idea seemed strange. If you can get past the idea that this is probably thought up as a gimmick, it is actually pretty cool. First it is nothing like the brooding Logan who denounced violence. Instead we just get a look at where the characters could possibly end up if Tom Taylor wrote Wolverine as long as Claremont wrote X-Men. Taylor has some fun playing with the future hinting at things that happened without explaining it all. His choice in President makes sense. As well as Chief of Staff. There are some fun futuristic designs. He even creates a controversial cliffhanger. Much like everything before it is a story that is just meant to be enjoyable. It is exactly that. The more
I love this comic so much... It's really migrated its way to the near-top of my stack. :)
Taylor and Rosanas pulled it off! Nice work!
I really enjoyed this issue. The future story arc looks interesting and everything was paced really well. Gabby as the future Wolverine looked really great and I wouldn't mind exploring that in it's own book. This was a great issue for me and Laura's mission is already off the an action packed start and I liked the ending. Looking forward to the reveal next month. My big ask is that Tom Taylor give Laura true costume and code name before the next book begins. I liked her current costume just fine and see no reason why that can't continue into the X-23 series. It makes little since to regress Laura to the old outfit and name when she has grown so much.
We will see but I am riding this out till the end.
I really don't want to like it. I usually hate these "future" stories because they just give the author excuses to do stupid things during and afterwards.
But it isn't bad. and I don't think the "cliffhanger" ending is at all what it is made out to be. This is Tom Taylor after all, not some hack like Tom King. (please Tom Taylor don't prove me wrong)
Old Woman Laura lives in a very shiny happily-ever-after future, but of course, she has One Last Mission to complete. Gabby does a star turn as Future-Wolverine and the script delivers plenty of fanservice-y surprises. The art has a mostly-successful, streamlined Frank Quitely feel. The futuristic design work - costumes and settings and gear - feels like the weak link in the presentation; while some of the facts of the OWL future will stick with me, none of the visuals will. This story's full of promise for the final installments, though, and this initial issue is more than satisfying.
Holy crap do you guys have garbage taste.
