With Beast moving forward with his plans, which could manipulate the rest of the world in dangerous ways, Wolverine sets out determined to take down his former comrade. Wolverine will soon find that he isn’t alone, as Maverick and Jeff Bannister each have unfinished business to pursue. Sounds like Beast already has enough on his hands, but a potentially more present threat waits in the wings!
Benjamin Percy does a great job making each of the characters shine in their respective portions of the story. While I would have been satisfied just reading Wolverine’s side of this story, Jeff Bannister’s piece in this was no less interesting, and it’s hard not to see Beast as more of a threat as this story continues. The art by Juan José Ryp really is a highlight here, from the emotions (surprise & annoyance) on the characters faces to the body language used.
Overall, this issue does a great job of establishing the threats coming up against Beast, and sets the stage for what is surely going to be a complicated and interesting confrontation. With this level of storytelling and art in play, I can’t wait to read the next issue!
