The All-New Wolverine wound its way up to the top of my pile this week. With the cover by Bengal having a Charlie’s Angels vibe, that was the main reason for me to read this book first.
This is issue number 6 in the All-New Wolverine title. Logan isn’t Wolverine anymore. Instead its Laura Kinney, also known as X-23, who has taken up the mantle of Wolverine in the post Secret Wars world. And this is the conclusion of a pretty good, but very derivative story. In this story line, it turns out there is another secret science group making clones of clones as assassins. And coincidentally, the clones happen to be of the new Wolverine. And in this book, Wolverine and her sister-clones take their vengeance out on the scientists and security who created them.
The writing by Tom Taylor is, again, ok. Nothing too over the top. But nothing horrible either. The plotline gets wrapped up tightly. But the one good thing is that he isn’t too wordy. He allows the artist, David Lopez, to carry some of the storytelling.
So I don’t know if this was the best book I picked up this week, but it was the first one I read.
