Wolverine Battles Strikeforce X in Wolverine: Weapon X #2!

An all new team of adamantium-clawed super soldiers are tasked with taking down the ferocious Wolverine in the explosive Wolverine: Weapon X #2! Who better to deliver one of the most action packed Wolverine stories than the red hot creative team of Jason Aaron and Ron Garney? Logan has tracked down Blackguard, the private military contractor that took hold of the Weapon X files, but he may regret this success when he encounters the deadly Strikeforce X!

Critics and fans agree that Wolverine: Weapon X is a hit:

“Aaron can write a great Logan, and Garney can draw the hell out of a Wolverine story… [Aaron] and [Garney] sync right back into rhythm and remind us why they make such a great team.” – Dan Phillips, IGN.com

“Aaron has a talent for strong, terse dialogue and vivid characterization…[Garney’s] work in Wolverine Weapon X may be the best stuff he’s ever done.” – Timothy Callahan, ComicBookResources.com

“Plenty of kick-ass action…Aaron writes Logan the way he is supposed to be written. Action junkies should be drooling over what Aaron should have in store for us with the next issue.” – Rokk Krinn, Comicbookrevolution.net

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Wolverine: Weapon X, as the series continues to garner significant praise from all corners! Why was Strikeforce X created? Can Wolverine handle a team of killers created in his image? Don’t miss the heart pounding thrills of the berserker barrage in Wolverine: Weapon X #2!

Wolverine Will Stop At Nothing To “Get Mystique!”

Bullet-ridden and consumed by a quest for vengeance, Logan has one objective — get Mystique and get revenge for her betrayal of the X-Men! Wolverine #64, an X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, continues the critically acclaimed “Get Mystique” arc from writer Jason Aaron (Ghost Rider) and artist Ron Garney (Amazing Spider-Man). Just how does the newly revealed history between Wolverine & Mystique affect their current conflict? And just what favor could the X-man call in to deal with Mystique?

Critics and fans agree — this is the Wolverine story you must read, with Ryan Broussard of Comixtreme.Com saying, “This story has depth, action, history, and just overall impressive writing.”

“‘Get Mystique’ is turning Wolverine into the book I anticipate the most every month,” gushed Bryan Joel of IGN.Com.

Don’t miss any of the x-plosive events in the penultimate chapter of “Get Mystique,” as Wolverine and Mystique head towards what may be their final battle! It’s Wolverine #64 — and nothing can stop Logan now, bub!

I think this is going to rank up there with the Greg Rucka run as a favorite of mine. And this is only the second issue in.

As shown by the opening the pages, we see some more of Logan’s past that he shares with Raven Darkholme. But in this issue we also see Wolverine trying to ‘get Mystique’ in the present day as he continues to carry out his orders given to him by Cyclops in the last issue.

This is a very, very good issue. Jason Aaron is on point with all of the characters here. We’re reminded that Mystique is a villain. And a very good one at that. And Wolverine? Well, he is the best at what he does. While I tend to enjoy Ron Garney when he’s inked by Bill Reinhold or Dan Green, he’s doing a damn fine job here. The art is crisp, clean, and dirty when it needs to be.

This is a story that cannot be missed.

Recommended.

Jason Aaron Sets Wolverine On A Quest For Revenge!

In the aftermath of Messiah CompleX, Wolverine is set on a quest for vengeance — and he’s got some new friends to help him make it happen! In Wolverine #62, an X-Men: Divided We Stand tie-in, red-hot (and newly-Marvel Exclusive) author Jason Aaron (Scalped) and fan-favorite artist Ron Garney (Amazing Spider-Man) set Logan on a bezerker barrage for someone who’s role in Messiah CompleX is so huge, so pivotal that they may just get snikt’d! Now that Wolverine has seen the cost of this war over the new mutant child, he’s not about to let the responsible parties get away!

“Jason and Ron deliver a high-octane chase movie that’ll have you gasping…and that sheds new light on Logan’s long and complicated relationship with another core X-Men character,” says X-Men Group Editor Axel Alonso.

Spinning out of the red-hot, sold-out Messiah CompleX, Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Wolverine #62 and all Divided We Stand branded series. Wolverine’s done revenge before, but now that it’s so personal, is he willing to go over the edge to get what he wants?
