Parental Advisory
Wolverine #29 is brilliant. It cuts right to the core of who Wolverine is and reminds readers of that, something that some writers have forgotten over the years. The art is incredible and brings the whole thing to bloody life brilliantly. This story has been excellent so far, a crowning achievement for the book, and this issue keeps that up. Its easily one of the best issues of this run so far. Read Full Review
Wolverine #29 is an incredible issue on all fronts. I was extremely pleased to see the art really lean into the horror aspects of The Pit. It is unclear what will happen now that Wolverine is free from The Pit and potentially Beast, but what is clear is that the next issue will be a blast. Read Full Review
Logan manages to finally restore his mind, but as has been the case with the rest of this arc, it was through more stomach-churning body horror. Read Full Review
There is only so many times one can go down the same path before it starts to just become far too routine, and that is very much where ‘Wolverine' is as a title and character currently. Some interesting nuggets are consumed by the all too familiar tropes that have plagued the character for decades, with not a bit of relief in sight. Read Full Review
It seems every issue I say the same thing. Benjamin Percy knows this character! This entire volume has been incredible but the last few issues have absolutely blown me away!!! I love everything about this issue!
This was a really fast-paced issue full of pretty gripping art. The collective Beast plot inched forward a bit here, but the real highlight was Logan facing down the pit version of Sabretooth. It wasn't a real deep issue, just some general Wolverine fanfare that brings him back into control of himself.
This issue is by no means bad, but it's not really good, either. It does set the stage for some nice plot development going forward, but it also clarifies the shortcomings of the arc behind it.
The art's really strong, but it's leagues away from the artist's dream of being the next Frank Quitely.
The prose is clean, but it's not nearly as deep (or free of cliches) as it wants to be. And the pace is atrocious; the flashbacks do little besides flaunting the author's encyclopedic knowledge of Wolverine continuity.
Maybe I'd be more engaged if #28-29 were compressed into a single issue.
