[COMICS] Wolverine #72: Old Man Logan & Comicbook Chesscake of the Week

A spoiler-free review and a brand new feature all in one post!



WOLVERINE #72
--------------
With the tantalizing cliff-hanger in #71 followed by the early release of #73 due to the upcoming Dark Wolverine storyline crossovers making this the first book to read this week (and on a Friday too due to Bank Holiday Monday making New Comic Day a day late, damn them), I couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied by the expected and the unexpected. Although we saw the conclusion from a mile off, the ability of knowing it and finally seeing it are completely different. Typical solid dialogue from Mark Millar and as top notch artwork as to be expected by Steve McNiven and rest of the Civil War art team, I enjoyed seeing the New Captain America in the flashback which makes this future seem all the more believable, although we all know it'll be ret-conned once again...

COMICBOOK CHEESECAKE OF THE WEEK
---------------------------------------
New feature, just the best pin-up cover of the week featuring a scantily clad female member of a superteam or otherwise. This week: formerly known as Moonstone, now Dark Avenger, its Mike Deodato's lovely rendition of MS MARVEL (Ms. Marvel #39, MARVEL)



Have a great weekend, folks, see you on Monday!

  2. Which one? You must have read Wolverine so I'm guessing Ms Marvel...she looks like the kinda woman who would answer the door if I came around to your place, Andrew...in that exact getup
