    I’m giving this a shot on the strength of Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine alone.

  2. AmirCat AmirCat says:

    I like the cover.

  3. MegaPhilip MegaPhilip says:

    Is the ongoing price going to be $2.99 from now on??

  4. Anthony says:

    @MegaPhilip  Don’t think so.  All the point one issues are $2.99.  It’ll go back to $3.99 next issue I think

  5. MegaPhilip MegaPhilip says:

    @Anthony  That’s what I figured. All the other Aaron books are at that price point. Thanks!

  6. Franktiger Franktiger says:

    Think they should change the blue in his costume to brown, would be a compromise for fans of the classic brown costume who want it back, they made a coloring error one time that did that and it actually looked cool.

    Now this is what this book should look like

    I almost didn’t pick this up.  I’m so glad I did.  I haven’t laughed out loud so much at a comic in a long time.  

  9. andybmcd andybmcd says:

    This was fantastic.  The Buford Bros are some great new villains.  I mean eating Boy Scouts?  That’s just twisted.

    Loved the dig at Scott by Beast. 

  10. Is there anybody that does twisted better than Aaron?  And then to juxtapose it with the typical goofy party stuff . . . this was just beyond fantastic 

  11. andybmcd andybmcd says:

    I will say that the lighted party scenes were not Palo’s best art.  

  12. EnyoVD EnyoVD says:

    Mixed feelings about this issue.  On one hand I loved the story but on the other hand I hated some of the art.

    Almost skipped this because of this .1 bullshit…. But man, this was the best Wolverine issue since Weapon X ended. Super fun.
