HELLFIRE SAGA PART 2!
Wolverine has plans for the Bamfs…Meet the new Hellions!
That's not to say Aaron doesn't still find time for humor and smaller character moments. It's fun to see the ways in which this arc contrasts the plot beats of early issues of the series. In this issue, we see the Hellfire instructors gathering to confer and complain about their jobs in much the same way Wolverine's crew did back in the beginning. Other little moments, such as Wolverine bonding with the Bamfs and Toad and Paige having a lover's spat, add extra flavor to the book. It's also good to have Nick Bradshaw back in charge of the series, as his dynamic, expressive visuals are a great match for Aaron's quirky sensibilities. Read Full Review

They'd better as we're already 2/5th of the way through the event and don't have much time until things have to start coming to a closure. Read Full Review
