Wolverine #24 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artist: Federico Vicentini | Colourist: Frank D’Armata | Letters: Cory Petit
Wow. Wow. Wow. There is so much going on in this issue, it is a case of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks! This is a melting pot of story. It throws together elements from the recent X Lives/Deaths of Wolverine event as well as elements from Swords of X, X-Force and of course the current event Axe. Despite all the moving parts going on the story moves at a great pace, jumping from scene to scene. What stands out the most to me is how Percy takes the situation of having to tie into an event and completely makes it his own monster. It feels like this arc would hold up without the Axe connection. It is a perfect example of how to tie into an event and keep the identity of your on going series.

Everything old is new again. The return of the Patch persona, from Wolverine’s Madripoor days, is another in Marvel’s recent nostalgia push. As their main line of books modernizes, with changes to characters and themes not universally enjoyed, Marvel is trying to keep that older market with previously untold stories from classic runs by classic creators. We’ve got the classic 90’s pairing of Ron Marz and Ron Lim on Silver Surfer, we’ve got X-Men Legends revisiting classic periods of the past with Claremont, and now we have Larry Hama back writing Wolverine from the classic 90’s run. Which is great news. Hama brought a real freshness to the book when he wrote it, and I still have all his issues which stand up well today. He ‘gets’ Wolverine.
Let’s see what we get.

Marvel Comics “Wolverine: Patch” #1, available March 23, 2022, is written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Andrea Di Vito, with covers by Geoff Shaw, Dan Jurgens, John Romita Jr. and Skottie Young:
“…the Canadian mutant ‘Logan’ has made a name for himself on the mysterious island of ‘Madripoor’, where the locals know him as ‘Patch’.
“From their haunt at the ‘Princess Bar’, what starts as a simple recon mission lands Patch and ‘Archie’ knee-deep in a paramilitary struggle that will surface some surprise revelations and characters. And is that ‘Nick Fury’, ‘Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.’? Yes, two patches for the price of one…”

As a British comics fan growing up in the 1970’s,, one of the things I always loved about Marvel was that they genuinely seemed to care about their British fans. They had a strong reprint presence in the newsagents, something DC didn’t have until much later, and Stan Lee and various Marvel writers and artists often popped over to Old Blighty and detailed it in Bullpen Bulletins. The love affair between Marvel and the U.K was always a mutual one, if at times Marvel could be a little Dickensian with their portrayals of bobbies on the beat and ‘gor blimey, guvnor’. As much as I love characters like Captain America and Iron Man, I’ve always had a huge fondness for the Brits. I’ve loved Captain Britain, Union Jack, The Invaders,...

Welcome back to another installment of Panel Discussion – this time featuring a round-up of the Marvel titles that have been peaking our interest recently…
The Amazing Spider-Man #795
Written by Dan Slott, Christos Gage | Art by Terry Pallot, Mike Hawthorne
With Dan Slott ending his epic run on Spider-Man soon, The Amazing Spider-Man #795 operates as a take a breather story. One that comes off as the minor calm before the major storm that is no doubt on the way. In true Spider-Man fashion, he is teaming up with another Marvel character and this time it is the Sorcerer Supreme himself. For those not keeping up with the most recent going ons in the pages of Doctor Strange (on a side note you should be because its great) that person is no longer Stephen Stranger but the god of mischief Loki.
Where this issue excels best is the interplay between Spider-Man and Loki.
