WOLVERINE. JUBILEE. HAMA.
Any way you slice it, the ultimate team-up is back, bub! Comics legend Larry Hama returns to his run on WOLVERINE, with the start of an all-new adventure that will pit the man formerly known as WEAPON X, and fan-favorite JUBILEE, against a host of their deadliest foes!
When two young mutants disappear, our heroes set off for Japan to track them down. But LADY DEATHSTRIKE and THE HAND have their own designs on the duo, and it'll take no small measure of blood, sweat and adamantium to change their minds! Illustrated by the incomparable Billy Tan, get set for the start of a deadly international mutant conflict! more
X-Men Legend #7 is quite honestly my favorite issue in the series so far as Hama and the rest of the team capitalize on the nostagia of the era through great art from Tan and coloring from Sotomayer that captures the mood of the colorful 90s era to compliment Hama's no frills all thrills writing that makes for an entertaining piece of comics entertainment with more than enough hook in the story to make you want to know what happens next!

Maybe it is a coincidence, but X-Men Legends #7 is a reminder of who is the mega-star of the series. Everything is thrown at the reader from the Hand to Lady Deathstrike, and gangsters. Whereas it can be a bit much, its an X-Comic! If you are a fan of Wolverine, this issue is a no-brainer. If you are more so a meh fan of him and ninjas, skip this issue and the next. Happy reading!

X-Men Legends #7 does a good job returning us to the Larry Hama Wolverine run but doesn't translate well to a modern audience. Read Full Review
Of all the X-Men: Legends issues thus far, X-Men: Legends #7 is the one that feels least stuck in the era that inspires it. Read Full Review
X-Men Legends #7 is a comic for fans looking for nostalgic vibes. On paper, it has everything you'd want from Jubilee and Wolverine teaming up, down to the yellow Wolverine costume, and even Lady Deathstrike thrown into the mix too. The execution isn't quite there, though, making for a just-okay X-Men experience. Read Full Review
Larry hama writing wolverine with jubilee, yukio, lady Deathstrike, and the hand! I loved it!!
At first, the brutal Wolverine vs. Yakuza action: "Aw yeah, this is why we used to love Larry Hama." But then, page on page of "as you know, Bob" exposition: "Oh, now I remember why it's 'USED to love'." The art's similar: A tasty little retro throwback, until the faults accumulate and suddenly it's no longer fun to look at.
This series is meant to capitalize on the nostalgia of older X-Men readers who are scared by this newfangled Hickman era, and... I mean, can't they do better? This is really low quality. These creators weren't this bad back in the day. I don't think age has treated them too kindly.
