WEAPONS OF X!
The landmark Weapons of X storyline continues as BEAST makes a critical move against WOLVERINE. But... who is moving against Beast? Not who you think! And how does MAVERICK play into this conflict? PLUS: An all-new backup adventure featuring WOLVERINE and SISTER DAGGER, by Gene Luen Yang and Peter Nguyen!
Rated T+
Wolverine #33 continues this books run of excellence. Percy, Ryp, DArmata, and Petit are putting out the best X-Men story around right now, and more people need to notice that. Yang, Nguyen, and Ramos turn in an enjoyable back-up story as well. All in all, this is an excellent Wolverine comic. Read Full Review
‘Wolverine' #33 brings the title character closer to a final showdown with Beast who continues to move forward with his dark, destabilizing, villainous moves all in the name of ‘protecting' Krakoa. When this series is firing on all cylinders it's a whole different experience and this is one of those story arcs where everything is coming together as it should. Read Full Review
While it doesn't grind to halt, Wolverine #33 suffers from the overdrawn plotting of this massive Beast Agenda story arc quite a bit. While the book still wears some of Percy's finer hallmarks with the character, you can feel just how tired this book has become. Read Full Review
It's a good issue but it's certainly the build-up for the end game of this arc. Read Full Review
Overall, this issue does a great job of establishing the threats coming up against Beast, and sets the stage for what is surely going to be a complicated and interesting confrontation. With this level of storytelling and art in play, I can't wait to read the next issue! Read Full Review
Expect table-setting moments in Wolverine #33 as we wait for the final showdown to commence. Beast continues to be as evil as they come, and even with good intentions, it's clear he's a lost cause. Read Full Review
Despite how gory Wolverine has been lately, this issue suddenly decides to try its hand at comedy over the fact that instead of one power-hungry Beast, you're dealing with a whole group of them. Yet it surprisingly works, especially during a written conversation transcript. Read Full Review
Another awesome read. A bit of a spoiler here, but I loved the Beasts plotting to overthrow "Beast Prime," just for them to get taken out by the Wolverine clones. As for the backup story, it was fine, but I didn't really need it. Ultimately harmless, but the main story is still great.

Although the big-picture plot is moving forward at a rather slow pace, all of the individual scenes here are thoroughly satisfying. The wonderfully detailed art is accompanied by terse, tough dialogue. This is cinematic and thrilling in the best way.
The B strip is pretty solid. It's an inconsequential vignette, but Gene Luen Yang still has a good handle on Sister Dagger's endearing brattiness. Logan, like the reader, can't help but like her.
This was a pretty fun issue with a lot of unexpected twists. Beast continues to be horrible, hypocritical and cruel and these points are hammered home with the way he treats his clones and the places/things he's now targeting. The data page with the Beast clones all talking to each other got a little chuckle out of me too, just because it's funny to see an egomaniac basically talking to himself in a mirror, conspiring and patting himself on the back all at the same time.
The promised Wolverine/Maverick team-up looks like it will be great, and the two characters seem like they're finally acting like the way they used to with each other. I didn't really think about how much Logan needs an ally right now since he ditched X-Force, but Mave more
