I don’t know what the hell Marvel is doing with Wolverine, but whatever. We’re waiting on Old Man Logan, which is Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s god-send-child about Wolverine in the future that has been extremely delayed for reasons I couldn’t even tell you and all of a sudden Marvel decides they’re going to simply stop with that series, sum it all up in one issue, #72 has to be the last issue even though it’s part 7 of 8, and just jump into this new Wolverine story that appears to be a one shot in two issues but will somehow transition us into Dark Wolverine.
Let me take a deep breath quickly.
Wolverine #73 was a good pair of mini-stories which begins what appears to be the last two arcs of the Wolverine title before it is taken over by Dark Wolverine. After the break, I’ll divulge my feelings over it all.
I’ve never read a comic book so fast in my life until I got Marvel 1985 #5 today. This month’s issue is seriously a weird one. Given, that it’s Mark Millar it’s golden and amazing but maybe something of unpolished good. Let me just say Mark Millar and Tommy Lee Edwards are a duo that have more power than any of us could imagine.
If you get my drift as to how this issue was, read on for some more fun stuff and a bit more of my understanding of this issue and my “how the hell is this going to end” predictions… this issue lead into a lot of things that… well they blew my mind.
I picked up this issue, dying because of last week’s cliff-hanger, my undying love for Mark Millar (in a total “I’m a comic book nerd and I love your writing” way not any other) and because I knew I was jumping into straight madness. Millar left things at such a high suspense point I was really flying through this issue.
In this months issue, we see a skew of baddies and utter chaos ensue as things really do start to pick up even more than last month’s issue. We’re left with Toby and his dad in a van driving away with none other than The Lizard on top of their van trying to kill them. It’s simply amazing.
