    AIPT

    This issue of Wolverine is very good. We get to see the deeper side of Logan in a way that is not shown enough to the reader, which is handled beautifully by Benjamin Percy.

    Comics: The Gathering

    Overall ‘Wolverine’ is a must read series. This is such an engaging story married with breathtaking art, I can’t recommend it enough. The only last thing I can say is this book needs more Omega Red! Then I’ll be really happy.

    You Don't Read Comics

    Wolverine #3 is a casually brilliant comic. In three issues, Percy has shown he gets Wolverine better than just about anyone who has written his books since Larry Hama.

    Comic Watch

    Wolverine #3 is an excellently written and superbly illustrated issue that shows Percy's ability to make Wolverine a supremely interesting character beyond the stab and slash we know him for while the art team of Kubert, Martin, and Petit knock it out of the park in an issue with everything I want out of a modern Wolverine story.

    Monkeys Fighting Robots

    Wolverine #3 picks up the cliffhanger from last issue, where we find out that things are not nearly as bad as they seem. Wolverine again proves that he's the best at what he does!

    The Super Powered Fancast

    The Story: Benjamin Percy brings this story to a satisfactory conclusion that leaves open the possibility to of bigger, more interesting stories to come. The plot is entertaining and it is always great to see Wolverine in the role of strategist instead of blunt instrument. An enjoyable story that showcases Logan in a more sophisticated and engaging light. The Art: Adam Kubert does some beautifully detailed work throughout the issue. The action is great and the characters look fantastic.

    Weird Science DC Comics

    Even though the Magneto cold open felt a bit out of character, the rest of the issue drove nicely. The story was thrilling and ultimately made sense while leaving some amazing unanswered questions to uncover throughout Percys run. However, I again just forewarn the creative team to shelf a certain angle of trickery for the foreseeable future. Its just too easy of an out that will become stale if overused. Furthermore, this reviewer feels like its been two out of three issues now where some crazy mojo had to happen to connect the dots and make the story flow. Im excited for whats to come and looking forward to WOLVERINE becoming a solo book again. To date, this is a tremendously entertaining and action-packed series that should be on everyones pull list. Grab it and let me know what you think.

    This issue of Wolverine wraps up the immediate storyline of the knockoff Krakoan drugs flooding the market, with Wolverine "going rogue" (albeit with a full team of X-Men) to save his human ally and shut down the operation once and for all. It's pretty uninteresting stuff, save for the beginning and end scenes, both of which continue the comic's more interesting storyline of Wolverine struggling to adapt to the new status quo. A scene where Wolverine drinks Magneto under the table doesn't make this comic worth buying, but I think this series (much like Wolverine himself) is still trying to find itself.

About the Author: Benjamin Percy

Benjamin Percy is an American author of novels and short stories, essayist, comic book writer, and screenwriter.

Career

Benjamin Percy has published four novels, The Dark Net, The Dead Lands, Red Moon, and The Wilding, as well as two books of short fiction: Refresh, Refresh and The Language of Elk. In 2016, he published his first book of non-fiction, a collection of essays on writing and genre fiction: Thrill Me.

Percy’s first work for DC Comics was writing Detective Comics #35 – 36 in 2014, which was part of the company’s New 52 branding. He eventually took over as writer on the company’s Green Arrow series, beginning with issue 41, and continuing until issue 52, when that series was cancelled in preparation for DC’s 2016 DC Rebirth initiative, which involved restarting its monthly titles with new #1 issues. Percy would continue as writer on Green Arrow with its new series in 2016, beginning with the one-shot Green Arrow: Rebirth, which sold over 90,000 copies when it was released in May 2016. It was the highest-selling issue with Green Arrow as the main character in recent comics history, and received a second-printing. In comparison, the final issues of the previous Green Arrow series sold between 21,000 and 22,000 copies, the last Green Arrow #1, from the New 52 launch, sold 55,512 copies, and Kevin Smith‘s Green Arrow #1 from 2001 sold 85,046 copies.

From November 2019 Percy is the main writer of X-Force series and from February 2020 of Wolverine series for Marvel Comics.
