THE ALL-NEW SABRETOOTH! X YEARS LATER, she's taken the name of once-bitter enemy SABRETOOTH - and fights beside Revelation himself. Why did Laura Kinney abandon her legacy? What secrets does she keep from the mutant world? When loyalty changes, blood means everything.
Another fantastic Laura Kinney comic from Erica Schultz. A lot has happened to Laura, yet she still maintains what makes her such an amazing character. Much like her father, Logan, she's always sticking her neck out for others and fighting for what she thinks is right. She's also never afraid to admit when she was wrong. Read Full Review
Issue one minces no words and wastes not a single panel in orientating you in this world, explaining why everyone is where they are and why they are acting the way they are without revealing and rather intimating at things in clear easy to follow storyline that keeps you interested from start to finish.

As much as things change in these types of titles, the overall story and the overall approach the story don't really change all that much. Kenny's writing works well in a sort of a post, apocalyptic, superhuman, mutants, political setting like this one. It feels very well integrated. It's just not anything terribly new for the character. Even though it's something that's drastically different. And maybe there's some kind of a problem there. But maybe it's just another look at the same character without trying to change too much to make her look completely different. There would be a real danger of that if Schultz were to try to do something more revolutionary with what she's putting to the page. Read Full Review
Laura Kinney: Sabretooth #1 is a daring and mysterious start, using Laura's shocking new mantle to challenge readers' expectations while grounding itself in the evolving world of Age of Revelation. Though light on action and slowed by some repetitive plotting, the character drama and strong visuals make it a worthwhile read that sets up big payoffs down the line. Read Full Review
I was skeptical when I read the solicits for this series about how they would get Laura to a place where she'd be not only on Revelation's side in this event but also taking the mantle of Sabretooth. I really liked Schultz's Laura series up to this point, though, and gave her the benefit of the doubt that there was going to be some continuity in characterization.
My skepticism was answered, as I think Schultz efficiently accounted for what seems to have been a complex and difficult journey on Laura's part.
It may be the case that some readers will not like Schultz's ideas about what happened to Laura in the "X" years separating Age of Revelation and the status quo/main continuity stories, but I don't think it's valid to sa more
There was a bit less action than I'd expect in a story about Laura or a Sabretooth, but the drama and conflict were well handled. The writing was good and I enjoyed the book, but man it was kinda ugly. I didn't like the art at all. Good story though.
I will be honnest i wanted to buy it but the art stopped me !
