This run so far as had a lot of classic Wolverine feels with some unexpected twists and turns. Last we saw Wolvie, he wasn’t exactly himself, but no one can keep the little runt from doing what he does best, for long.

Check out another review by Lauren covering issue 1 of the current WOLVERINE Revenge run.

The Story
This issue immediately catches you up and jumps right to where we last saw Logan. Struggling with mind control is no stranger to him, however, this time feels different. As Leonard still struggles with the Wendigo curse, a reliable “elf” of a friend shows up. As they try to figure out what they’re up against, things begin to become more unclear. However, one thing is for certain. Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton is a clue.
The Art
Throughout this WOLVERINE comic so far, the art has been exactly what you would want in a Wolverine comic. However, this issue seemed to take it up a notch. From explosions, to BAMFs, to the heavens shining above, every page was action packed, and gorgeous. The last page was detailed, graphic, and beautifully perfect for a comic featuring the most famous self healing mutant of all. Anymore explanation could spoil the surprise.
WOLVERINE #5
Overall Grade: 9/10
Wolverine has been in Marvel comics over fifty years now, and the big screen, twenty-five this Summer (I just aged quite a bit doing that math). He’s a well known household mutant. While, I have never written a comic, I imagine keeping a loved character consistent to what the fans know, while also creating new and surprising stories, it not the easiest. Yet, this comic seems to continually keep nailing it each week. Any and all Wolvie fans, should be picking up this comic, as it’s everything you want from the runt who is the best at what he does.
When a perfectly drawn comic combines with an incredibly engaging story, you’re immediately sucked in. Which I was. I have to give WOLVERINE # 5 9 out of 10 cigars, bub. SNIKT!
