Mini-reviews of new Wolverine appearances in comic stores on 11/21/07:

-New X-Men #44 (Preview): Chapter 4 of ‘Messiah Complex.’ It’s like we flashed back to a 1980s X-Men crossover. And not in a good way.
-Wolverine: Origins #19 (Preview):
Between overly-convoluted plot twists and the sadistic depiction of Logan, Daniel Way and Steve Dillon continue to poison the past of a once noble character.
-Penance: Relentless #3 (Preview):
So Speedball is now Penance. And Wolverine, for reasons unknown, is trying to stop him from launching… zzzzzzz… sorry… tryptophan and pointless comics putting me to sleep… zzzzzzzzz.
-Marvel Adventures The Avengers #18 (Preview):
Genuinely dreadful series gets worse as Captain America reveals he knows ancient Greek.
-Ultimate Marvel Sampler #1 (Cover):
Preview of upcoming Ultimate Universe storylines includes nifty Wolverine art.

Mini-reviews of new Wolverine appearances in comic stores on 11/14/07:

-X-Factor #25 (Preview): Chapter 3 of ‘Messiah Complex’ includes a rather lame Wolverine cameo.
-New Avengers #36 (Preview): Wasn’t Civil War supposed to have consequences? Can’t Bendis write something stronger than the Venom-bomb? Must we suffer through this Skrull storyline?
-Wolverine #59 (Preview): What is the only way to tell the difference between 110-year-old Wolverine and 12-year-old Wolverine? The length of his sideburns, of course. Dreadful art by the once-great Howard Chaykin.

Mini-reviews of new Wolverine appearances in comic stores on 11/07/07:

-Astonishing X-Men #23 (Preview): The penultimate chapter of perhaps the best X-Men series ever.
-Uncanny X-Men #492 (Preview):
Chapter 2 of another bloated 12-part X-Men crossover.

Mini-reviews of new Wolverine appearances in comic stores on 10/31/07:

-X-Men: Messiah Complex (Preview): Silvestri’s art has a bizarre time-traveling effect that hearkens back to the painful days of ‘Fall of the Mutants’ some 20 years ago. As a result the intended grimness of this story is undermined by stiletto heels, impeccable makeup, perfectly-styled hair and overly suggestive poses.
-Ultimate Power #8 (Preview):
This would have been much better if it hadn’t taken 13 months for 8 issues to come out. And there’s still another one the way before this thing wraps up. It seems as if Marvel has forgotten what ‘miniseries’ means.

Reviews: New Wolverine Comics (10/24/07)

Mini-reviews of all Wolverine appearances in stores on 10/24/07.

-Uncanny X-Men #204 (Preview): Messiah Complex prelude. Wolverine cameos.
-Black Panther #31 (Preview): Where are the damn zombies? What a rip! Dream-version of Wolverine makes a cameo.
-Marvel Spotlight: Marvel Zombies (Cover): ‘Secret Wars’ Zombie cover with Wolverine.

Reviews: New Wolverine Comics (10/17/07)

Mini-reviews of new Wolverine appearances in comic stores on 10/17/07:

-Wolverine: Origins #18 (Preview): I’m really not enjoying this whole everything-in-Logan’s-life-was-orchestrated-by-Romulus-for-no-good-reason-other-
than-we-need-a-new-uber-Wolverine-villain plot line. Other than that…
-Marvel Zombies 2 #1 (Preview):
More fun with Zombie-Wolverine.
-Ultimate X-Men #87 (Zombie-Wolverine Variant Cover):
As much as I like Kirkman on Marvel Zombies, I’m am so bored by his run on Ultimate X-Men. It reads like just another X-Men title. I mean, what’s the point?
-Marvel Adventures The Avengers #17 (Cover):
I don’t know who this series is written for. Not me, certainly.

Mini-reviews of new Wolverine appearances in comic stores on 10/10/07:

-Wolverine #58 (Preview): More on Lazaer. Intriguing concept. I just wish Marc Guggenheim had realized that the Nazis weren’t around during World War I.
-New Avengers/Transformers #4 (Preview):
Series finale. Pretty disappointing as a whole.
-New Avengers #35 (Preview):
Cover appearance only. What a rip!
