ONE MONTH TO DIE!
• A little Father/Adoptive Daughter/Adoptive Daughter's son time. Now that's a mouthful.
• Wolverine and Jubilee take Shogo on a camping trip.
• Hey, it's a Wolverine story in the middle of the wilderness. What could go wrong?
This is the rare type of X-Men story that both new and old fans can pick up and love. With one month left, these are definitely the stories Marvel should be telling to make Wolverine's death as bittersweet as possible. Read Full Review
Two things: first, I still hate how Jubilee is a vampire. I never liked that story, when the X-Men had to go up against Dracula, and I still don't like it. Maybe someday Jubilee will return to her old powers of explosive energy, but we will see. Second, the couple that turn out to be antagonists in this story, I wasn't too fond of. They really kinda halted the storytelling at points, and the message at the end that we are all 'cubs' to the women being 'wolves' was a little too heavy handed, and a little out of character for Wolverine.

The Wolverine Annual has been the best Wolverine comic to come out in quite some time. Elliot Kalan and Jonathan Marks offer up a good story and art that fits the mood. While it may not have much impact toward the main story of the series, this issue is worth a read. Read Full Review
It still makes for a strong story built around quality character moments and a different kind of conflict. For once, Wolverine got involved in a fight that was based entirely on an honest mistakes. Honesty might not even be appropriate in this instance, given the absurd circumstances of his life. Wolverine Annual #1 helped highlight the nature of these circumstances while also showing how vulnerable Wolverine is when he tries to deal with them without his healing factor. It'll make his bucket list much harder to complete, but it also makes for a more meaningful journey and a more eventful camping trip. Read Full Review
Wolverine may only have One Month to Die, but that doesn't mean that he can't have some fun with his good friend Jubilee, in this thrilling Annual which I thoroughly recommend. Read Full Review
Despite its flaws, Wolverine Annual #1 is a solid coda to the Wolverine/Jubilee friendship. Read Full Review
Honestly, if it wasn't for the art and coloring not being to my taste for a ‘Wolverine' title, this would have a near perfect score. This is my favorite Wolverine piece that I've read since the previous run of the stand alone series and I suspect is a better send off than we'll see next month. Even with the lower rating from my viewpoint on the art, this is a great buy for the writing for long term fans of our soon to be departed Wolverine. Read Full Review
