Wolverine #14 feels a bit like a classic story when the series first launched

Posted on by
Wolverine #14

WOLVERINE ENCOUNTERS SILVER SABLE! Wolverine crosses paths with Silver Sable in a mission to save a cadre of Morlocks. But are they on the same side? And who’s got Logan in their sights? Wolverine #14 kicks off a new story arc that is a nice return and feels a little retro at the same time.

Written by Saladin Ahmed, Wolverine #14 has the character stumbling upon a new adventure that involves him protecting a new mutant community and teaming up with Silver Sable to do so. The how of it all is rather convoluted but the issue itself is fun and interesting and sets things up well for what’s to come.

Wolverine #14 is interesting as it reminds me of what one could expect when the series initially launched so many decades ago. It’s Wolverine doing what he does best and coming across a new adventure as opposed to some planned mission. While it’s been many years since I read those comics, it feels like a similar vibe to what I remembered. They saw Wolverine in some location and then trouble rises and he has to deal with it.

But, Wolverine #14 also teases a possible intriguing return of a superhero group that feels like it’s been dipping its toes back in the water in recent years. Here’s hoping this is the start of something bigger for them, but we’ll see where this goes first.

The negative of the issue is that the meeting between Silver Sable and Wolverine doesn’t feel like to old acquaintances as much as it does two individuals with a little familiarity with each other. It feels a little cold and distant in some ways when the two meet and also a little odd following the usual two heroes fight before teaming up together.

The art by Martin Coccolo is entertaining and engaging. With color by Jesus Aburtov and lettering by Cory Petit, the art isn’t flashy but it’s just good. The opening delivers a bit of emotion and calm. The walk of Wolverine to get gas builds up some tension. His encounters from there mixes some horror, solid action, and a little wtf… and don’t forget the humor of a drunk Wolverine.

Wolverine #14 is a good start, though feels a bit more like an arc in-between major arcs. It has potential as entertaining and there’s some elements that could play out nicely. While it’s not a flashy return of the series, it is a fun one.

The Flash and Fantastic Four team in a new DC Go! Webcomic while Thor and Shazam come to Marvel Unlimited

Posted on by

DC Comics and Marvel Comics are charging into the digital frontier with a bold new phase of the historic DC/Marvel crossover initiative that began with Batman/Deadpool #1 by DC and Deadpool/Batman #1 by Marvel.

The publishers today debuted two new crossover one-shot webcomics, available exclusively on DC Universe Infinite and Marvel Unlimited. DC is offering The Flash/Fantastic Four on DCUI as part of the DC GO! imprint, while Marvel is offering a Thor/Shazam! Infinity Comics story on Marvel Unlimited. Together, these webcomics kick off a new wave of DC/Marvel digital-first crossover stories. Each webcomic will be free-to-read, with registration, for 30 days before moving behind their respective paywalls, and both DC and Marvel are releasing these new stories formatted for vertical scroll.

In The Flash/Fantastic Four, available now, exclusively from DC on DC Universe Infinite, Barry Allen and the Fantastic Four tear through the Speed Force, encountering heroes and villains across time in a bid to stop Gorilla Grodd’s quest for mental domination. Written by Jeremy Adams, with art by Adrián Gutiérrez and colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr., this DC GO! webcomic is a high-speed, high-stakes DC/Marvel crossover adventure.

Marvel’s brand-new Thor/Shazam! Infinity Comics story, written by Al Ewing and drawn by Jethro Morales with a cover by Martín Cóccolo, is available now exclusively on Marvel Unlimited. The might of Thor! The power of Shazam! Marvel and DC bring the thunder to Infinity Comics in a never-before-seen adventure! When a familiar face threatens to usurp the magic of the Marvel and DC universes, will Donald Blake and Billy Batson recover their powers in time to stop them? The new Thor/Shazam! Infinity Comics story will be available on Marvel Unlimited. For a limited time, all fans can redeem a digital copy of this brand-new crossover story by using code CROSSOVER25 at Marvel.com/redeem.

Two more crossover webcomics, one from each publisher, are slated for digital-first vertical-scroll releases in 2026. Details on these webcomics will be revealed in the coming months.
