Issue #65 is the conclusion of the “Get Mystique” storyline in Marvel Comics‘ Wolverine. For those who’ve been waiting for a knock-down-drag-out between Wolvie and a neekid Mystique, this’ll fit the bill.

Wolverine #64 is the second to last issue, from Marvel Comics, focusing on Wolvie hunting down Mystique to get revenge for her betrayal of the X-Men. The story is by Jason Aaron and art by Ron Garney.

Short, quick, but with a helluva punch.

The art is stunning, although I do feel there is a misstep or two, but as a whole it’s really pretty fantastic. The story set up on the first chapter is pretty solid and when the next issue comes out I know I’ll definitely be looking forward to it, but there are some short comings.

There are a couple of good plot points in the book but it doesn’t have a whole lot of substance to it. What is there is really solid work, but where the last issue felt like the passage of a few hours, this felt like maybe 15 min. passed from word one to the end.

Again we’re just given a glimpse of the big baddie in present time before rushing off into the flashback. Not a bad way of telling a story, but there isn’t a whole lot making us care about the current danger yet. The danger of the past has some nice reveals and some of the imagery is downright creepy though.

That said, I will repeat my earlier sentiment, I’ll read the next chapter the moment it’s in my hands.

Also, the series is being put out, as a variant, entirely in black and white. The first issue I think needed the color a little more than this one. Issue 2, I like the black and white edition more. Grab that if you can get it.

“Logan” issue No. 2 of the limited series from Marvel Comics is penned Brian K. Vaughn and penciled Eduardo Risso. Issue No. 1 was pretty amazing, does issue No. 2 live up to its predecessor? Read the review Wednesday.

Logan, from Marvel Comics, looks like it’ll be a fun ride despite the fact that not a lot happens in this issue. But it definitely lets you know that it’s going somewhere thrilling.

Brian K. Vaughan and Eduardo Risso are credited as storytellers, a term I tend to dig a lot due to my heavy use of it. But it’s also nice to see scribe and scribbler listed side by side.

The story ends with a pretty thrilling little cliffhanger for those that know your history. If you have no grasp of what’s come before it may lose some of the gasp factor it had for me.

The comic is also available in a black and white variant.
