Wolverine #50 wraps up the latest volume with ho-hum finale

Posted on May 29, 2024 by Brett

It’s all come down to this: the final battle between Wolverine and Sabretooth. The “Sabretooth War” concludes in the way it began – a violent, bloody battle – but WHO will be left standing? Wolverine #50 wraps up the brutal confrontation between Wolverine and Sabretooth delivering a hallow finale.

Written by Benjamin Percy and Victor LaValle, Wolverine #50 gives readers a final battle between the two foes wrapping up “Sabretooth War” as well as this latest volume of the series. The story up to this point has been brutal at times with a massive body count that has included some surprises. As expected, Logan and Victor battle it out until one is left standing. And, it’s a brutal one with body parts being sliced off and blood spurting. But, in the end, it all feels rather hallow.

There’s a lack of real emotion to Wolverine #50 as the main story wraps. Creed’s horrible actions are recounted emphasizing his lack of empathy or reflection on any of it. But, Logan shows that same sort of brutality with what feels like no reaction from him or anyone around him. Usually when a person is chopped into bits there’d be some sort of shock, but everyone comes off as rather numb which feels like it diminishes the contrast that’s painted in the text. There’s a disconnect with what we’re told makes Logan different from Creed. We’re told it and not shown it at all.

The art at times is solid and at others its a panned out mix of things that’s just ok. Geoff Shaw, Cory Smith, and Oren Junior all handle the visuals with Alex Sinclair on color and lettering by Cory Petit. There’s some solid action but like the story itself, the visuals don’t feel like they drive home the brutality of it all. Even with Creed laying at Logan’s feet, it feels more comedic than sad or shocking.

The comic features two additional stories. One features writing by Larry Hama with art by Daniel Picciotto, color by Yen Nitro, and lettering by Cory Petit. The other features a story by Benjamin Percy, art by Javi Fernandez, color by Matt Hollingsworth, and lettering by Petit. Both have their moments and would feel right at home in an anthology celebrating 50 years of Wolverine but here there’s a feel like they’re just tacked on and not as much a celebration.

Wolverine #50 wraps things up and celebrates 50 years more with a whimper than a bang. The comic isn’t bad but it also doesn’t quite excite either. It’s perfectly fine wrapping up the story arc and the series. What it doesn’t do is excite for what comes next beyond a few pages shown and doesn’t feel like much of a celebration of an iconic character.

Descend into the next Alien epic this November with a new Alien #1

Posted on August 3, 2023 by Graphic Policy Team

In the pages of Marvel’s current Alien comic series, writer Declan Shalvey and artist Andrea Broccardo are unearthing terrifying new truths about the legendary Xenomorph species. Set on an icy moon in the black of night, the current saga, “Thaw,” will conclude next month in Alien #5 but the threat of the Xenomorphs always re-emerges… The acclaimed creative team will dare to explore even darker depths of the Alien mythos this November 15th in a new Alien #1!

The new series will take place in two time periods with Shalvey also on art duties, drawing flashback scenes of a doomed earlier crew in each issue. As readers learn more about the mistakes and goals of the first mission, they’ll discover the full unsettling scope of what the present-day protagonists have gotten themselves into! Connected to the current series but offering a fresh start for new readers, the new run will continue to develop the new subspecies of Xenomorphs that Shalvey and Broccardo have introduced while laying the groundwork for an even greater threat. Before Alien #1 launches, fans will get a chance to get up close and personal with this new breed of creatures in October’s Alien Annual #1, a double-sized issue that will serve as connective tissue between story arcs.

EVERYONE WILL HEAR YOU SCREAM! The next great Alien story starts in Alien Annual #1 and continues in the all-new Alien #1! In deep space spins a world infected by the universe’s greatest killers. Most people – sane people – would construct a barrier thicker than the hulls of ten Nostromos and leave it to rot. But where most people see a death trap, Weyland-Yutani sees the biggest payout in the history of civilization. And if it costs a few human lives to secure? Those come cheap here. Prepare for more corporate corruption, personal betrayals and extraordinary violence!

Check out Javi Fernández’s haunting issue one cover below and pick up Alien #1 when it hits stands in November.
