Wolverine #48 - Marvel


This issue shows us what really happens when Logan is hurt so bad that he dies. He doesn't just lie there and heal. Well . . . . . his body does. But his consciousness goes through some incredible stuff. The really sad part about this issue, is that it marks the end of the Marc Guggenheim / Humberto Ramos run on this book. Don't fret though, because they're moving over to a different X title. But I'll tell you what, some of the pages in this issue, that Humberto does, are actually breathtaking. Pages 2 thru 5, the view of Logan's visit into the afterlife, are beautifully painted. They look as good as anything I've ever seen. And I already really liked the guy. Then pages 8 & 9, where he has a visit from Jean, and then pages 14 & 15, where Lazer tries to get some payback on the psychic plane, are also spectacular. Each of them has a different feeling for Logan, on the psychic level, and Humberto does an incredible job conveying that feeling with the style of art on each. Like I said, the guys brilliant. We also find out that Logan is sleeping with one of the Atlantean chicks. But he makes her morph in to human form while they're doing it. And starting next issue, we get Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi. I can't wait.
