A good opening salvo with a killer Logan vs. Psylocke scene to open it up. Read Full Review

The hunt is on and it will be interesting to see where Zub and the team take it next. I am looking forward to seeing more glimpses into the past and previously unseen moments between the lead characters and Logan as well as more of the Femme Fatales. Bring on issue #2! Read Full Review

The writer chose a great focus for this story and the art work really complimented the narrative style. Read Full Review

Of all the Hunt for Wolverine mini-series this one is good, not great. I like seeing the ladiestogether and I think once you get to the actual story it starts to pick up. And the art is great. I can recommend this issue and I look forward to the next one. Read Full Review

This isn't quite the noir story that Marvel advertised it would be, but it's still a fun start to what should be a grittier X-Men adventure. Read Full Review

Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor #1 is a decent read. Its focus on character and motivation makes the story feel more important, even if the main plot is just a random digression into past X-Men villains. This is likely the weakest of the Hunt for Wolverine #1s, but I can still recommend it, though its not required reading. Feel free to check it out though. Read Full Review

The nostalgia and the fact that we have an all-female cast are the main selling points for this series going forward. That may not be enough though for customers already jaded by this series or those expecting more Wolverine. Read Full Review

Lazy LookalikesWhen the X-Men are ambushed by Viper and her hired telepath, they are assailed by an all-female unit of mercenaries. For some reason, the two of the members of Viper's team are dead ringers for Storm and Domino.Is that the super villain thing now"to hire henchmen that look exactly like your foes in the hopes they get confused and psi-blast themselves? Without any narrative rhyme or reason for the Domino and Storm clones yet to to be realized (if there is any), the restaurant sequence feels clichd and rushed. Read Full Review

"Hunt For Wolverine Mystery In Madripoor" #1 is a slightly enjoyable but inconsequential next chapter in the "Hunt for Wolverine" event storyline. Read Full Review

While the creators of Mystery In Madripoor resisted the temptation to turn this all-female book into a T&A delivery vehicle, the dull plot, bland characterization, and poor art they deliver instead are questionably-valuable alternatives. This series might hit some interesting points in the future, but that's not the way we're betting after this introduction. Our recommendation for Mystery In Madripoor #1: An emphatic 'Skip It.'

Although there are way too many characters in this squad of X-Men, or X-Women I should say, for each one to get a solid amount of character development, but it doesn’t help that their are 6 new villains just thrown right at the reader. Art is acceptable but it doesn’t portray Madripoor as well as it could have. I did like the Psylocke narration though

It is good, but it can only get a 7 with this terrible art.

This book was just ok for me. Not all that noir in tone and story but not the worst book I read. The story felt more like a more serious version of Charlie's Angels. Each page read more like a look at the smart hot characters. I am not sure I will continue to follow this book and I am really starting to think that Marvel over-invested in multiple mini-series to bring back one character. I struggled to understand why this book needed to happen when the characters it follows are X-men(Women) and we already have multiple books that this story could have been a part of.

I would only pick this up if you really want to read about the return of Wolverine but none of these books are really about Logan just yet.

An all-female crew of Logan's mutant pals goes hunting for Magneto in Madripoor, but instead they "just happen" to run into an all-female baddie squad. This is a strong contender for the least enjoyable comic I've read in years. The all-X-chromosome gimmick is unjustified, the flashback characterization of Logan and his ladies is pond-shallow, and then there's the art.

It's not just me disliking Thony Silas's shovel-faced Nagel-ripoff style - though I certainly do dislike it. No, what really arouses my ire is the fundamental and, I contend, objective incompetence shown in anatomy, blocking, and visual storytelling. Logan's double-barrel chest on the very first page, the inept and confusing portrayal of Mindblast's airport disguise, the way Storm's keepsake is almost-but-not-quite-perfectly hidden from view ... There is no end to the artistic missteps.

This comic is a failure even on the basest level of juvenile titillation. T&A were definitely in the cards - look not just at the rosters but also at the X-Women LITERALLY and EXPLICITLY dressing in stripper clothes for their Magneto meeting. But sexy, too, falls outside Mr. Silas's wheelhouse today. more
