‘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

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 Maverick backing him up just reminds me how much Logan needs people, despite his beliefs that he's better off alone.
The only thing I didn't like with this books was the way Jeff's daughter was written. She comes off as an adult the way she talks to her father and it's so weird. The back-up story with Sister Dagger was great too, but felt a little rushed and short. There was enough there for a whole issue by itself, and it's a shame that it was just slapped in as an afterthought. more
