It's a good series but I don't love the ending. It feels like Quentin barely even recognizes just how wrong his behaviour is or there is no justice for it. Maybe there's something realistic about that. It's not very cathartic.
Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega #5
Some of the dialogue is silly but this is still pretty great on the whole.
Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega #4
A little less engaging than the first two issues but still entertaining. Art is so cool.
Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega #3
This remains a fun and creative experience. A very different focus from a typical X-Men miniseries like this so far.
Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega #2
This is all messed up and pretty funny. Loved the art. Very creative start overall.
Wolverine and the X-Men: Alpha and Omega #1
I love how they pair the exposition from a holographic Fantomex with a fight scene happening around him. That's very clever. This comic looks great and was quite entertaining on the whole. It's an interesting perspective on Project Rebirth and Captain America creating Wolverine and Fantomex down the road. The characters are all quite well done here. It does get a little silly with the idea of more
Wolverine & Captain America: Weapon Plus #1
THE SECRET HISTORY BEHIND THEIR ORIGINS REVEALED! In 1940, scientists attempted to make a man into the perfect weapon, a Super-Soldier. They failed and made him a legend instead. Before the turn of the century, they tried again for the tenth time. They failed, making a man into death incarnate. At long last, ETHAN SACKS (OLD MAN HAWKEYE, STAR WARS:...
I don't love the art so far, nor the writing. It has some neat ideas - I like Cap's early interaction with Carol - but it is dialogue heavy and doesn't feel like a great story for either of our main characters. Others like Professor X or Carol Danvers feel written way too jokey. And I don't like the look of Logan's chest-hair-oriented outfit, either. Action is very underwhelming, too. Finally more
Wolverine & Captain America #1
A disgusting mess of a conclusion. If Quentin Quire is truly leaving the book, so will I.
The art in this issue was so erratic and rushed. The story arc was confusing and filled with glaring holes.
Hopefully Latour and Asrar can redeem themselves.
Wolverine and the X-Men #6
TOMORROW NEVER LEARNS FINALE!
The Phoenix Corporation vs. the X-Men and their very future hangs in the balance!
Jason Latour and Mahmud Asrar conclude chapter one of the smash hit of All New Marvel Now!
This story arc is kind of dumb, wastes a lot of time, and was way too long on the whole. Evan indeed is not part of this story enough given how everything pivots on him. I don't love the inconsistent art in this issue, either. It's kind of all over the place. And for all that I didn't really don't find this ending very satisfying at all. It feels like this series leaves a bunch of these plot more

This issue has a solid little opener with Doop. Great art for that, too, which is nice to finally see in this arc. The rest, eh. It's not working that well for me, but definitely shows some creative moments, too.
Wolverine and the X-Men #5
Wolverine's at the mercy of the Phoenix Corporation while Storm races to save the Jean Grey School!
Only Evan can save Fantomex from death - but dare he?
Latour and Asrar continue the smash hit of All New Marvel now!
Logan and Storm bustling from one plot point to the next feels so forced and inorganic. The story is kind of losing me here and the art has never been that great...
Some interesting thoughts on the Phoenix and Apocalypse, at least.
Wolverine and the X-Men #4
TOMORROW NEVER LEARNS - Part 3!
Storm, Idie and the kids make a stand against the Phoenix Corporation while Wolverine clings to life!
Meanwhile, Quentin Quire, on the run, finds a new ally in...Cyclops?
Jason Latour (WINTER SOLDIER) and Mahmud Asrar (X-MEN) continue the ALL NEW MARVEL NOW smash hit!
Dialogue is just okay, as is the story. At least Quentin finally feels like he is hitting on his usual self.
Wolverine and the X-Men #3
WHO IS THE PHOENIX CORPORATION?
The question of the year continues -- with another one: what do they want with Quentin Quire?
Latour and Asrar bring you a breaking point in the lives of Logan and Ororo Munro!
There's something about this writing that leaves me uninvested. It should work - this Phoenix Corp idea is interesting and I like the scene where Storm confronts Logan about storming off at word of the Phoenix being around, but it just doesn't quite come together into a compelling narrative. I normally find Quentin fun but his dialogue comes across as obnoxious here. Decent ending, at least, ev more

A little chaotic and messy but a somewhat fun start to this little chapter of X-Men history.

This issue has an awesome opening where The Punisher takes down an entire crime network. From there it kind of loses focus, though.
Wolverine / Punisher #1
This "arc" is really only defined by Logan coming to terms with the loss of his powers. This issue is all about Hellfire Club shenanigans. It doesn't work that well for me, but as always, the characters drive this story arc into something kind of special. This time it's Logan and Quentin. It's the weakest part of No Future? for sure, but it is okay, I guess.
Wolverine and the X-Men #9
Happy Birthday, Quentin Quire!
Party crasher Wolverine gets more than he bargained for when he realizes who Quentin's bouncers are.
A really cool issue where Storm and Wolverine go on a date in The World where months pass which in reality only lasts for mere moments. Some great character work for Logan in this arc as he comes to terms with his mortal state. Art was really strong, too.
Wolverine and the X-Men #8
What's it like to be a rich, famous, teenage mutant? Just ask Quentin Quire!
Logan and storm go on a long overdue date!
And when the headmasters are away, villains come out to play.
Art isn't that great. I don't like the look of our characters at all. Logan in his Killable phase is interesting, I guess, and there's a really good scene with Idie here that ensures this isn't all bad, at least. Quite a few characters get good moments, and that winds up being a clear strength of this issue.
Wolverine and the X-Men #7
Guest-starring Matt Murdock!
Melita Garner returns, but not for romance-she's got something on Logan that throws the entire schoolinto uproar.
Little does Melita know she's also drawn the attention of the Red Right Hand!
What a sad and sincerely touching ending. That was so impressive and both the art and writing really come together for some powerful sequences. Bravo.
