Wolverine & The X-Men #1 (Marvel - Aaron / Bachalo / Townsend)
Wolverine has taken one half of the X-Men back to Westchester to start over again. SCHISM tore them apart, but can Wolverine lead the new Children of the Atom into the future?
After the events of Schism I was ready to stand with Cyclops. The idea of Wolverine running a school seemed far fetched. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly this issue changed my opinion.
No matter what level of X-fan you are this is a great place to start. There’s just something that feels so right about the X-men being back in school. It feels a little weird having Wolverine at the helm but I like some of his ideas. My personal favorite being that the entire school can serve as the Danger Room. This series has alot of potential and I can’t wait to see more of it explored.
If you’ve been waiting for a good jumping on point for the X-men, want a good Wolverine story or just want to watch Hank Mcoy threaten a coffee pot then this issue will be well worth your time.
Overall Grade: B+
