GET MYSTIQUE PART 3
Wolverine's mission has put him on the trail of the shapeshifter Mystique. In an effort to evade Logan, Mystique has chosen to hide among a group of American soldiers. Is Wolverine willing to cut them down to get to his prey?
Obviously, I'm a big fan of this run. Everything about it has worked on multiple levels- namely on characterization and instantly quotable moments. Between this book and BKV's Logan, I haven't enjoyed the character of Wolverine this much in years. Aaron's pronounced style feels perfectly suited for this title, and while I know that the author's stay is limited to this one arc, I'll be damned, even with one issue still remaining, if he hasn't already made it memorable.

I found myself more anxious to read this issue than just about any other book in my pile this week. I don't know what it is, as I'm not really a big Wolverine fan, but Aaron and Garney are doing a great job pulling me into this story. Only fear is they cop out on the conclusion to this storyarc next month. Read Full Review
Will he nab her? Or will Wolverine skid off cliff and fall down toward a deep chasm below? It's worth finding out. Read Full Review
While "Wolverine" is currently bouncing from creative team to creative team having essentially become a series of self-contained mini-series, it'd be a real shame if, after "Get Mystique" wraps up, Aaron and Garney didn't return for another shot at the character like Guggenheim did following the good reaction to his "Civil War" story. For now, there's still plenty to wonder about before the arc is over. Wolverine's gone through a lot to get hold of Mystique, but the question remains as to what he'll do once he captures her. The cliffhanger page, while gratuitous, at least promises that Aaron won't pull any punches in letting these characters act as freely as possible " and that, at least, doesn't bode well for Mystique.

I like Garneys work. It has the crispiness of Romita Jr. and the dynamism of Gil Kane. I would argue that hes finally coming of age here and in the previous Spider-man stories he worked on. His work elevates this story to a major event instead of the random story it should have become. Reading his comic books is truly joyful. Read Full Review
