Check out a review for another current Wolverine run: Generation X-23.

The Story for WOLVERINE #23

We kick right off with Wolverine verse Taskmaster. However, Logan isn’t feeling so hot. With broken bone claws, and his healing factor on the fritz he has to channel the other skills he has. One of which, is uncannily his ability to make friends. That, and his anger. Determined to find out more about what is happening to him he heads to Seattle, Washington. Who or what he finds there takes him by surprise, and not in the fun way.

The Art

Wolverine #23 had some top tier art. We kick off with some absolutely gorgeous fight scenes between Wolvie and Taskmaster. It is a non stop relentless back and forth complete with beautiful colors and perfect still shots. Then we wrap with a new and unfamiliar face. Uncertain if this is an enemy or friend the look on this person’s face said so much. One desperate face, and I knew this person’s intentions weren’t about themself. At least not initially. Of course, in true comic book fashion we wrap with an epic last page to hype us up for what’s to come.

Final Thoughts

This run of Wolverine continues to give us everything I love about Wolvie with some fun twists turns, and amazing art. Any and all Logan fans should absolutely be reading this current run. SNIKT!

Overall Grade: 9/10
