Wolverine (2003-2009) #66
by Dexter Vines, Steve McNiven, Mark Millar, Morry Hollowell
dark
sad
medium-paced
I haven't seen the film, though I did see some of the earlier X-Men movies, and I can't say that I've read any of the comics before, so I basically picked this up at random because I came across it at the library. It was really good - a very small story that nonetheless sets up a wider world very well indeed. When it comes to superheroes, I much prefer the small stories over the giant set-piece battles, so this is aimed directly at readers like me. Whether it stays that way is another thing, but this muted, much older Logan is genuinely compelling. I don't know that I'm entirely interested in the back story that sets all this up - the widespread death and loss of the superheroes, and the subsequent rise of the villains - but I am interested in seeing the consequences of this play out a generation or two later, as this seems to be doing. Excited to read the next in the series!
