  "Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega" was a good mini-series that has me anxiously awaiting what Wood will do next, especially since he has a lot of X-Men stories on the horizon with "Ultimate X-Men" and adjective-less "X-Men" starting next month. Read Full Review

  Yeah, sure. Let the guy who screwed with your head to begin with train you to have stronger mental defenses, because there's NO way he'd know how to circumvent said defenses... Poor, stupid Wolvie... Anyway, this issue wasn't terrible, which is the best thing I can say about it. I didn't care enough about the story to care how it ended, especially since we knew that there would be no real ramifications coming out of it, what with Quintin being a major part of Wolvie and the X-Men and Wolvie being Wolvie and all. In the end, this issue better than I ever expected it to be, so I'd consider that a win, although it doesn't save this mini from being one of the worst ones I've read so far this year.
