Wolverine #53 - Marvel


Of course we all know that Jeph Loeb is a brilliant writer. And we've all seen Simone Bianchi's incredible covers, both here and on Detective Comics. But the interiors of these last few issues have been incredible. The splash page of this issue, with a White Bengal tiger jumping off the page is suitable for framing. It's just been fantastic. This issue we find out a little more about the mystery that seem's to be haunting Wolverine. It really all comes down to a theory that T'challa has. He believes that along with the natural evolution of man, from water to land, that there were also variations. Just as there's a mutant variation of homo-sapiens, he believes that there's a lupine variation of man's evolution. And the bones at the elephant burial ground, seem to support that theory. T'challa also argues that it's evident in the mutant population because of the various lupine variations. Such as Wolfbane, Thornn, Feral, Sasquatch, just to name a few. Well while this is going on, T'challa has put Sabretooth under a much better restraint system. But, somebody breaks in and frees him. They also appear to have freed quite a bit of blood from Sabretooth. Wolverine follows the trail, but he's attacked and taken down. As he's remembering back, he believes it was by . . . . Wildchild. But, " . . he was never that good!". So he's a bit confused. His attack has him out for 2 days, and when he awakens he's surrounded by Sasquatch, Wolfsbane, Thornn and Feral, and they're ready to take on a mission that none of them wants. " . . . going back in to the heart of Weapon X!" Next issue should prove very interesting.
