WOLVERINE #72

a review of Wolverine #72

Wow, "Old Man Logan" ---Millar nailed it. Again.

Yes, it's very late.....

Yes, it's STILL not over yet.....

but it's very, very fun to read.

<<<SPOILER ALERT<>>>>

My ONLY complaint is Millar's Red Skull isn't as German as MY Red Skull would be..... but this is one of my favorite stories in recent years.

<ANOTHER SPOILER>

Did anyone else love the collection of helmets, weapons, masks, and costumes in the Skull's display case? That's what makes Millar one of the best "new guys" IMO. And the art is fantastic.

If you weren't picking this up, do yourself a favor and grab the trade, when it comes out.

Hey Starfoxx--I haven't read any of this series yet (not for any particular reason-- it just kind of slipped by me in a sea of Wolverine titles) but based on your recommendations I am definitely going to pick up the trade paperback when it comes out. I've loved everything Millar's done with the exception of Kick Azz.

hey bobc, did you really like 1985, tho? I thought that was a giant turd. I just caught up on the new Millar FF story, and the tie-in to 1985 was just a gloss-over, IMO, and pretty useless.

Unfortunatly, the trade probably won't be out til fall, since the "finale" issue is "scheduled" for fall sometime.

I loved it! I wouldn't say it was anywhere near his best work, but I thought it was nostalgic and kind of sweet in a way. "1985" certainly wasn't a standard super hero comic by any stretch of the imagination--but for me it really captured how a little kid views the magical world of super heroes.
