“Wolverine” # 10 the first part to writer Jason Aaron’s “Wolverine’s Revenge” story arc (a title that is perfectly befitting last issue as well).

For the sake of not spoiling anything, after last issue’s climactic ending, Wolverine aquires the location to the headquarters of The Red Right Hand, a black organization responsible for sending Wolverine’s soul to Hell. As the title blatantly suggests, Logan arrives in Mexico to deal out a healthy dose of revenge. Once again Aaron puts together a well structured issue, this time revealing the creation and motivations of The Red Right Hand through a series of interesting flashbacks. While there is some gritty Wolverine action, the flashbacks make up the majority of the book. Aaron gives the villianous group some life and while this may not be what some want from a Wolvie book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was happy to see Renato Guedes back on the book and his work here is pretty good. While the action sequences seemed a little bland, his 1920’s flashback sequences were fantastic. The period details are great, from the clothing to the older film tint tone of each flashback panel. These panels alone make the book worth grabbing.

This was an issue that we new would be coming. It’s the issue we find out who The Red Right Hand is and why they hate Wolverine. But don’t let that fool you. This is a very satisfying issue that should serve as a perfect setup for Wolverine’s revenge that we all know is coming.
