When the world has collapsed and you’re surrounded by death, sometimes all you have left is revenge. WOLVERINE Revenge issue 1 started with a happy Logan riding a dinosaur, and ended in blood. As Wolverine mourns those he’s lost, he’s not giving in to the end of the world so easily.

The Story for issue #2
Magento’s death should have made Wolverine’s life easier. Instead, as he died, Magento released an E.M.P. that caused the power around the world to go out. Surrounded by death, Wolverine is not rolling over as easily as others. Instead of finding a bottle to hide in, he finds Forge. Together they make a plan. A plan that would make the Greeks proud. As Wolverine confronts Master Mind he’s determined to find the locations of everyone who caused some of Earth’s mightiest heroes to literally explode, as the world is dying. As the mission continues, we leave off with an epically beautiful fight, as Wolverine wraps up some old business.
The Art
This issue takes place in many different locations. We start with a sadly gorgeous room full of death, and end with an epic gruesome showdown. In between, every location Logan visits is detailed, moving, and sets the scene perfectly. The final fight scene is everything you could ever want during a Wolverine fight. Claws, blood, rage… It has it all.
WOLVERINE Revenge #2 Rating: 9.5/10
As the world seems to be coming to an end, it makes sense that Wolverine would be one of the few left standing, and fighting. However, will his mission save what’s left of the world, or will it just help him pass the time? Either way, there are quite a few more people left on his list, and when you’re the best at what do, no one gets forgotten. Every Wolverine fan must add this one to their pull list! SNIKT!
