Overall I'd rank this below the recent issues with Hulk and Captain America but it's still decent. Read Full Review
Wolverine #39 is an easily skippable issue. It serves little for the bigger story while delivering action scenes that lack stakes or danger. The issue looks good, but it all feels like it could easily fit into the first half of a better comic. Read Full Review
Not quite as good as the previous issue, but still good for what it was. Seeing Wolverine and Black Panther together was cool, and I thought they were written fairly well together. Of course, Storm had to come up at some point. I'm really looking forward to Spider-Man in the next issue, as I hope it can close out the arc strongly before we get into Sabretooth War.

Logan continues to live in his own little world crafted by Benjamin Percy as he goes on his episodic tag-team adventures which feel completely removed from Fall of X. Taking one of the most popular and recognizable mutants out of the main titles will never make sense to me, but hey what do I know? As an individual issue there was nothing wrong here, but it is entirely skippable if you want to be budget conscious and only read issues that move the Fall of X needle. I thought Juan José Ryp’s art here was a lot more effective compared to his work on this week’s Immortal X-Men. His designs allowed Black Panther’s new costume to shine.
