<meta content="OpenOffice.org 2.3 (Win32)" name="GENERATOR" /><style type="text/css">  </style> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">This book just keeps getting better and better. Before I start I have to inform you that I am a massive Millar fan, I didn't read Wolverine or FF regularly before the afore mentioned Glaswiegen picked up writing duties but damn this weegie* can write comic books!<br /><br />First of all the choice of characters to 'star' in this book was prefect, Logan's gruff Eastwood style manner and Hawkeye's charmingly wise assed comments compliment Millars writing to a tee. It's always quite thrilling to see a glimpse into the future (albeit a fictional universe) but how cool was it to see Hank Pimm's skeleton sprawled across the 'highway' (motorway to us Brits). The art is stunning, I haven't seen a better depiction of Wolverine in a long time, if ever (don't get me started on how cool Blackbolt looked!).<br /><br />A Venom T-Rex, I can very easily imagine Mark Millar pitching this to Marvel - it's got Millar written all over it and Steve McNiven did an absolutely amazing job of bringing it to life (I genuinely got the same sort of thrill as I did when I first watched Geoff Goldblum being chased by a T-Rex in Jurassic Park back in '93).<br /><br />Really looking forward to the next couple of issues and will definatly be picking this up in hard back. Hopefully Mark won't be all smiles though - Dundee United are plating Celtic on Sunday and I'd love to see the Tangerines bear Millars beloved Celtic - sorry Mark but I'm a Tayside boy.<br /><br />Admittedly I'm a bit pisses as I'm writing this but I assure you I was stone cold sober when I read said isse.<br /><br /><br />* Scots slang for a person from Glasgow </p></div><div class="single-review-storyart">Story: 5 - Excellent <br />Art: 5 - Excellent</div><div class="post-meta"> </div><script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery('#review-hider-link').click(function() { jQuery('#review-hider').slideToggle(400); jQuery('#review-hider-link').slideToggle(400); return false; }); }); </script></div></div><div id="comments"><h3>Comments</h3><ol class="comment-list"> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-rooney bypostauthor even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-46462"> <div class="comment-header"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='Avatar photo' data-srcset='https://ifanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/rooney1.jpg 2x' height='48' width='48' decoding='async' data-src='https://b2554848.smushcdn.com/2554848/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/rooney1.jpg?lossy=0&strip=1&webp=1' class='avatar avatar-48 photo lazyload' src='data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==' /><noscript><img alt='Avatar photo' src='https://b2554848.smushcdn.com/2554848/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/rooney1.jpg?lossy=0&strip=1&webp=1' srcset='https://ifanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/rooney1.jpg 2x' class='avatar avatar-48 photo' height='48' width='48' decoding='async'/></noscript> <cite class="fn"><a href="https://ifanboy.com/users/Rooney">Rooney</a></cite> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"> <a href="https://ifanboy.com/reviews/wolverine-71-7/#comment-46462">March 20, 2009 at 6:25 pm</a> </div> </div> <div class="comment-content"> <p>D’oh!
