You know that old saying, “You can’t judge a book by it’s cover”? Wolverine #310 is just that: an amazing looking cover (I have 2 posters of the cover) and a mediocre-to-boring book. The concept idea of this story is pretty cool: Sabretooth is back from the dead, and Wolverine is trying to figure out how. However, what we’re fed is a truly boring story.

Wolverine #310 Review

Uncanny X-Force #26
On July - 11 - 2012
Uncanny X-Force is probably the premier “X” title that Marvel is putting out. Teaming up Wolverine, Deadpool, Fantomex, Psylocke, and AoA Nightcrawler; Rick Remender has created excellent chemistry between all characters. While feeling a little disjointed at times, #26 displays a team that doesn’t have all of its working parts, and is suffering for it.

Wolverine and the X-Men #11
On June - 13 - 2012
Wolverine and the X-Men has been a great series so far. Jason Aaron’s writing has been excellent and Nick Bradshaw’s art is beautiful. In my opinion, this is the X-Men series that truly matters right now; Uncanny is boring, and Astonishing is leaving a lot to be desired. With that being said, Wolverine and the X-Men #11 is another piece of the Avengers Vs. X-Men side story, and to be frank, it’s getting tiresome.

Star Wars: Agent of the Empire: Iron Eclipse – Review
On May - 6 - 2012
Johan Cross is an Agent of the Empire. Sort of a more humanized version of The Operative from Serenity with a dash of James Bond thrown in. He’s working for the bad guys, but he believes what he’s doing is right. He’s also going to bed any ladies he can get info from along the way.
Star Wars: Blood Ties – Boba Fett is Dead #1 – Comic Review
On May - 2 - 2012
Boba Fett is dead. A team of clone troopers and mercenaries have taken out the world’s best bounty hunter. Upon finding out about Boba Fett’s death, Connor Freeman (who is according to the synopsis on Darkhorse.com the son of a clone trooper) mourns his death after we’re thrown a hint about his past relationship with Fett, and goes on his own adventure. We’re led to believe that he is killing off the people responsible for Fett’s death, which may or may not be the case. I’m not going to spoil the ending, but it’s another “what’s REALLY happening here?” moment.
I really liked this issue. I liked the art (which you can check out an example of below). I liked the story. It’s a story of revenge(possibly) and how a team of assassins is going to pay for messing with the wrong guy. I hope Boba Fett is Dead keeps up the intensity on the vengeance while the story unfolds and we learn the secrets behind it.
I have no complaints, other than I can’t read the entire story now. This is just the first part of four, but that’s how comics go. You have to wait until next month for your fix.
If you’re into Star Wars, or just stories that are revenge focused, you need to check out Star Wars: Blood Ties – Boba Fett is Dead #1.
