PARENTAL ADVISORY
WOLVERINE #17 was a clever, crime enriched, mystery thriller with future twists and turns woven into the foundation of the story. However, to fans invested since Percy's WOLVERINE began, the kinks seem pretty straightforward yet still fun and entertaining. Read Full Review
Wolverine #17 works so well because of how the tone builds throughout. It's that black ops vibe, that feeling that it's all going to fall apart because someone isn't who they seem to be, makes the whole thing work so well. Medina's art works, but Kubert is tough to come after. It all works so very well, though. Read Full Review
Wolverine #17 is just about everything you could ask for from a solo issue about Logan. Read Full Review
Wolverine #17 mixes the hard edge of being a detective, with the bloody nature of covert-ops, and even some hilarious karaoke too. It's a good time up and down, wrapped up in a clever way that adds a different context to the entire issue. Read Full Review
Wolverine #17 sees the return of two old friends, though one might not be what it seems, and reminds readers there is still a world outside of Krakoa. Read Full Review
Medina delivers some great art in the issue. There are some great character moments and the action is intense and visually engaging. Read Full Review
The real star of this issue is Bannister. This guy is so good he can have his own series! Percy's writing shines a lot more whenever he's present. Hopefully they're both here to stay.
I really couldn't be happier with the way Benjamin Percy writes wolverine. Everything about this issue is fantastic! I really hope this creative team works on this book for a really long time
I really really like this run. I dropped out for several months, but the "crime/mysterious" atmosphere is still here and the writing of both Logan and Bannister is great. Shame that Kubert left as he was perfect for this.
Better than the last issues, that's for sure.
Promising start of the new arc!
A little bit of a mixed bag here, for me. I liked everything in this issue, but this just felt so much more interesting when it was focused on Jeff as opposed to the titular character. Percy just did a really good job with the writing on that front. As for Logan's side of things, everything was fairly enjoyable. I just didn't really find it as engaging as the other side. Hopefully that changes soon.
It's a decent espionage pot-boiler conveyed with decent storytelling skill. And there are some cute/clever ideas sprinkled in. It's no character piece, though. And I'm a little uncertain about the plot. Me, I like how subtly it's stitched together. But I wonder if a heavier hand would be more appropriate for the way the story's being told so far.
(I also think the "titles of Millennials' favorite pop songs" gag gets pushed a little too far.)
I wish this was more cohesive, but I'm hoping next issue is better now that everything's been set up.
Pretty solid stuff. The Bannister half of the issue was really good and worked more for me than it's action-packed counterpart. The karaoke stuff was good, silly fun and I'm a little disappointed we didn't see Logan perform lol.
Enjoyable but not something special
