Comical thoughts: X-Necrosha, Wolverine Origins 26 27

there's a lot in my to do list right now..3 of which are new updates here..first up, the reviews of my three newest comic books..here they are..1. Wolverine Origins 26- the moment i opened this issue, a good surprise welcomed me..THE ART FINALLY CHANGED!! after 25 issues of very bad artwork (sorry Dillon), Segovia and Milla took over and did a fantastic job (i don't know when the next change took place but i like their artwork better). Anyway, this issue is filled with another "Wolverine was actually an asshole" revelation. Showing how he guarded this experiment/torture chamber and eventually killed everyone there. this issue also includes Daken's back story which shows that due to him being adopted and having mixed heritage, he was not treated well by his peers. It also shows that even as a child, his emotion controlling powers were already evident. I'm just not sure why Wolverine brought his son back to the same place the experiments on the Japanese took place. After almost an entire issue full of flashbacks on the life of both father and son, the issue ends with those Japanese people who were experimented in. Now turned into numbered zombies...overall, this issue was okay..the Daken flashback helps to make readers understand his origin but the Asshole Logan flashback is becoming real redundant..

2. Wolverine Origins 27 - The conclusion to the two part story which is probably made just so we can bridge to the Original Sin story arc. This issue continues to show Daken's story and how he started feeling that way towards Wolverine. This story also shows Romolus' figure, i guess this was the artwork that ruined his look, he has a freaking underbite. The story also shows Wolverine being held captive by the undead numbered zombies. They want to do to Wolverine what was done on them. Wolverine first thinks he should let them do it since it was partly his fault. But by the end of the story, Wolverine realizes he should let them "join their family". He sees Daken doing the same thing he's doing and when all is done, Wolverine realizes Daken remembers nothing..Probably due to the Carbonadium bullet shot to his head. This issue deals with how Wolverine always reacts in Origins, he realizes all the wrong he has done and a part of him wants to get it over with but his fatherly duties to Daken and how he wants to get back at Romolus towers over it. Overall this mini-story could have been compressed to an issue if they didn't go overboard with the flashbacks.

So overall, i really like the fact that they finally changed the art team for this book. I'm not into Dillon's realistic yet cartoony artwork. Never liked the fact that Wolverine looks like he's built like an everyday average man. The story is actually the second most liked for me next to the Deadpool arc, though that is not saying a lot. I have big hopes for Original Sin, why? I haven't heard anything bad about it.

3. X-Necrosha One-Shot: This book is the introduction to the Necrosha Cross-over, since i'm not really reading any other X book other than X-Force, i found the other 2 parts (Legacy and New Mutants) a bit hard to follow. This cross-over seems like it'll be X-continuity heavy so it isn't good for new readers. I myself had a very hard time following everything that was happening, it's probably like opening up a four part book, let's say Twilight..and starting at the 12th chapter of the third book..on to the 3 stories:

X-Force: The X-Force part is really the main part of this crossover..since from the beggining thay had to deal with Eli Bard, it's going to be like them being where the explotion occurs while the rest of the mutants just have to deal with the things that fly out. for an introductory issue, this is pretty action packed..First we see the imprisoned hellfire club meeting their dead members. Then we see Wolverine, Cyclops and another guy talking with Laura over what happened to her arm. Emma Frost seeing the Hellions, freaking out and being saved by Cyclops and Wolverine. Selene taking over the Hellfire Club in New York (i think). It also shows Angel and Warpath finally finding Rahne and the other Wolf (both i and Warpath have a trouble saying his name) Hrimmhrmahhi? but their ride gets struck by something. Suddenly, we see Archangel and Warpath flying while caryying the two of them. I like it how Warpath's power is only implied and not really shown. But then they go and meet Pyro and other dead mutants. This is great since it seems that the undead are going after the ones they have a connection with, and not just going to whoever is nearest. And the artwork is good too, especially since the story is very dark..this is a solid opening to a major story..hopefully, this will be A LOT better than Messiah War in terms of impact.

*this cover is awesome* tribute to the Lost Boys (never seen it)..Heroes by Day, Assassins by Night. Never show Mercy. Never give up. It's fun to be in X-Force.

2 other stories: i'm not going to act like i know everything that's going on on this side of the cross-over. One just shows that one of the dead mutants power (i think Donald Pierce) is to undertand every language including computers and he uses it to get into Necrosha. Another one is that the mother (Destiny i think?) of the blindfolded mutant girl was ressurected by Selene. They connect telepathically and then Warpath comes hurling into the room. Overall, i think that those two stories are also enjoyable if you know what's going on. I can follow the stories a little but not enough to explain it to you. Overall, this is a good read..though not necessary since the writers say that you don't need to get each book to understand the story. But i'll still try to get all of them. Try this one out, you might even like it..i sure did, and i only needed to know a third of what was going on.

got my issues.

Ooh, just came from FourthWall Comics yesterday at around 7pm, and i finally got all my new issues thanks to Eric..he put it aside for me already.:D just read it and i must say i have missed reading comic books..especially since 3 out of the 4 books i'm reading is really good right now..And yes, the one on the upper left is Wolverine Origins 23, i guess the storyline with Deadpool has been the most fun for me in the entire Wolverine Origins series right now..hopefully it'll be better starting at 41. I won't do any long reviews but here is what i think about the 5 books..

Wolverine Origins 23 - the big fight scene against Deadpool had lots of potential, i really just don't like the art inside..the last page also showed a "dead" Wolverine and a "dead" Deadpool standing up..a good artist would have been a huge boost for this book.

Wolverine Weapon X 5- It was great for Wolverine to show that he's a very intelligent man by not going into Blackguard's trap. I also liked his almost effortless way of killing his opponents, by using his brains..not the freaking muramasa blade. Good thing it only seems to be a big deal in the Origins book..Excited about the next story line too..

Wolverine Origins 40 - I think this was actually pretty good other than a few factors. I still didn't like the art even though it's different from the one in issue 20. Didn't like how Romulus looked..he was more majestic than savage in my point of view..Hopefully as we near the end of the series, the book gets better and better.

Dark Wolverine 78 - Daken is a manipulative a**hole. other than that, this book has been good for me..i don't even like the title character..i'm really curious as to how Daken and Norman would do the inevitable and fight..maybe it's coming soon.:D

X-Force 19 - Enjoyed the book other than Laura carrying her hand instead of attaching it..and i stilll don't like Wolfsbane's place in this team while dealing with things very different compared to what the others deal with. Necrosha's coming..

Ooh, next shipment will include X-Force: Sex and Violence..oh yeah..but i also need to buy a new box!!

*instead of getting MOC 25th anniversary Wolverine with Exclusive Emma Frost for P900, i'll just get the MOC Silver Wolverine together with a LOC Logan Variant from ML Rider series for P1000. Good thing it's a gb so that means it might take a little longer. bad thing is someone might get the entire lot.

*i was offered the MOC MU SW 2 pack Wolverine/Human Torch for P700 and a SHS X-Force Wolverine for a P100, i'm definately getting this and will sell the Human Torch figure online..

*saw someone selling a loose X2 Wolverine Rotocast for P500, kinda interested but not important for me..

*I wanna go get Wolverine Essential vol 2 and vol. 5

*need to buy a new box for comics..

Wolverine Weapon X: Why i like it

Wolverine Weapon X is only on it's fourth issue and i enjoyed reading every one of them and i can't wait for the 5th issue. In my opinion, this is a lot better than Wolverine Origins. Wolverine Origins is about to end already and it's real hard to follow for new fans and probably frustrating to old ones since the book is preety much rewriting the history of Wolverine thanks to the involvement of Romolus. I haven't ready issues 22-36 yet but the only real time i really enjoyed reading it was the story arc with Deadpool, hopefully something good happens during the 15 issues i have yet to read. the Weapon X series is something to recommend to new Wolverine and comic book fans alike. It doesn't really mess with Wolverine's past even though the 1st story arc has something to do with Weapon X. I think this is a good thing since it won't confuse new readers and it doesn't change whatever history was already set up. This book is also very simple to follow, it's not continuity heavy too. For the entire story arc i think the only knowledge you need to know is that Wolverine is a product of a secret government thing called Weapon X and that Maverick was also his teammate and that he has already lost his powers. I also like the way Wolverine is written in this book, from what i know the team that did the Get Mystique arc is also doing this one. I hope they're in it for the long haul. The story is very basic in a way that this has been done before but thanks to the way it is written, it somehow puts a very Wolverine spin on it. I could just imagine if the Punisher was put in this situation he would just walk up to the door and shoot any bad guy he sees. No questions asked. I'm also excited about the second story arc of this book, it puts Wolverine in a mental hospital. I don't know how he got there but i'm sure i'll find out. The artwork in the book is great too. The artwork is the type that you would expect in comics, not the realistically drawn and yet they don't look cartoony at all. I also like how Wolverine is drawn here, ever since the first or second x-men movie came out i think he's being drawn to look a bit taller than 5'3", probably to off set the frakish 6'3" height of Hugh Jackman (other than the height difference, he was a perfect Wolverine). He's not drawn like an animal looking man who's hunched so low and seems like a walking hairball without the uniform (see first picture taken from the "Death of Wolverine" story arc which was made in the Wolverine series). he's drawn like a normal hairy man would, his height looks pretty average in this one and he doesn't look like a raging animal. even when he's mad. The second picture is from the first issue, Wolverine being awakened by muggers in the subway. My only real problem with the series is that it costs P50($1) more than most comics. I think that of the two, this is the better book. Though that might change since we finally saw Romulus for the first time in the last issue of Origins. And no, the uniform was not a factor in me picking up the book. I actually passed up the chance of getting issue #1, i was turned off by the title initially. I thought that it was going to be about hi, dealing with his Weapon X past and stuff like that, but when i read the initial review, i went ahead and picked up a second printing of the first issue in comic oddyesey. I was able to pick up a copy of the variant cover of the number 1 when i finally went to fourthwall, they still had one copy though it was already sold for a dollar more, i still bought it anyway. I think it's that good. I'm recommending this book to new Wolverine fans out there, even to the old ones. If you have yet to pick up an issue and you can't find them anymore, i suggest you just wait a month or two to pick up the tpb (or hardbound, whatever you prefer) and start with the next arc, i think you won't regret it.
