All-New Wolverine, Vol. 4: Immune by Tom Taylor, Leonard Kirk
4.0

All-New Wolverine is hands down the best wolverine series I've read (Not that I read THAT much wolverine but damn this is good).

So a little alien girl crash lands on earth. Right when Ironheart finds her the virus inside her spreads, and everyone around her begins to get sick. Right before she dies she has the name of Laura on her lips, and Wolverine is scooped up to try and find out what happened. When she gets to the infected island she realizes the situation may be worse than she thought. When the greatest minds around the world figure out how to fix it, will it be in enough time? Oh yeah, that's just the first half. Second half is into space with the guardians of the galaxy!

Good: The character development for Laura is outstanding. Especially from reading her X-Force stories and X-men stories, it's wonderful to see her grow into her own person. I also love the side cast, especially Gabby. The first half of the story feels like actual stakes are there and the solution is actually pretty great and touching moment. I loved the hell out of the guardians and wolverine reaction and Gabby and Johnathan the Wolverine joining the story in space is wonderful.

Bad: I didn't love the art at times. Made people look really odd. I also thought the 2nd half of the story in space was really fun but also really rushed. Another issue probably balance that.

Again, All-New Wolverine proves to be a fantastic series. It's no wonder it went over 30+ issues. To me, Laura is the best Wolverine ever. A 4 out of 5.
