Wolverine First Class #18

Review by ohcaroline:

Wolverine First Class #18

WRITER: Peter David
PENCILS: Francis Portela
INKS: Francis Portela
LETTERED BY: VC - Joe Caramagna
COVER BY: SKOTTIE YOUNG

Price: $2.99


Over 18 issues, this has been the most consistently enjoyable comic I've been reading, bar none.  I'd recommend it to anybody who likes fun, well-paced, character-driven storytelling.  I'd particularly recommend it to anybody who likes X-Men characters, and this issue, especially, to anybody who enjoys or has enjoyed Peter David's writing on X-Factor.  PAD's run on the book has been largely guest-star driven, and that suits his writing style to a T.  The guest star here is Jamie Madrox, who's running down one of his missing duplicates.  He joins the series' regular characters, Wolverine and Kitty, on the search.  It's nothing earth-shattering, but it's good fun that highlights PAD's strengths as a writer.  The artist is new to the series; I like the more grown-up look for Kitty, and he does a particularly nice job with Madrox.

Covers by Skottie Young, and I still missed it? My store must put these somewhere inconspicuous.
