Comic Review Paul Milligan

Wolverine #33

Writer: Daniel Way
Artists: Mark Texeira and
Javier Saltares
Colorist: Paul Mounts
Letterer: VC’s Joe Carmanga

In the first part of this three issue tie-in to the House of M crossover Mystique is asked by S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Sebastian Shaw to recount the events leading up to Wolverine’s sudden and surprising departure from the organization.
Daniel Way takes over as the new regular writer for Wolverine and it looks like he has a pretty good handle on the character. Even though this is a tie-in to House of M and therefore the story takes place in an alternate timeline it’s obvious that Way knows the character. Texeira’s artwork is pretty good in this issue even if it’s not his best work ever. If you’re reading House of M and want to get some background on the Wolverine of this alternate universe then this book is definitely for you. If you’re looking for a straight up Wolverine story you might want to wait a few issues for things to return to normal.
