All new wolverine
I talked about All-New Wolverine #1 previously and how much I enjoyed it. Well since then we're up to issue #4. Issue #5 lands in the first week of February so there's time to get in while the getting is good! I've read up to issue #3 myself and I'm really enjoying it so far. She's a very cool no nonsense kind of character but she's a lot more willing to trust others than Logan ever was. And unlike old man Wolverine she wants to break the cycle of killing early on in her career.


Our first story with new Wolverine involves getting into her past a little bit with a splash of too-many-clones. On one hand it's tempting to ask Marvel to go with a bigger story arc for her first story in her own title, taking on something bigger than her past. At the same time that's how our beloved Logan started out when in Vol. 1 Issue #1 Wolverine travels back to Japan. Since then Japan has been a big part of Logan's character. The first three issues of All-New Wolverine have seen her discover that she was cloned by Alchemax (yes, the Alchemax from 2099) and has a few 'sisters', one of whom causes a fuss in Paris in the first issue.

The other sisters are planning something sinister and have been accused of burning down a laboratory so Wolverine joins the hunt to track them down but all may not be as it seems...




Snow Blind

This really deserves a much longer post of its own but for now a snippet will have to do. Snow Blind is the new mini-series from Boom! Studios, written by Ollie Masters and drawn (beautifully) by Tyler Jenkins (Peter Panzerfaust). The story centers around Teddy Ruffins who has recently discovered that his parents may be hiding some pretty big secrets from him. It's a story that involves isolation, frustration, persistence and great art.

The series will go for four issues, we're only on issue #2 this week so plenty of time to start reading.
