Wolverine Issue 96 Review


We are going to reach right into the really big comic book box of doom and pull out another random comic book. This time our review for our random comic book reviews is Wolverine 96. In this comic book, Wolverine, Storm, Caliban, and Cannoball go on a leisurely trip to enjoy nature, but obviously things are never really that simple in the world of the X-Men.

Wolverine 96 Review

Wolverine 96 was written by Marvel Comics with a cover date of December 1995 and the title of "Campfire Tales." This issue of Wolverine had the writing talents of Larry Hama, Adam Kubert and Luciano Limo on Pencils, Dan Green on inks, Joe Rosas on colors, and Comicraft on letters.

So this issue from Marvel Comics, not too bad, not to deep but I do admit that it has its charm. That is the thing about the entire run of Wolverine comics. They can enjoyable reads but maybe not engaging reads. In recent years, Wolverine has kind of been overexposed by Marvel but to the credit of the company, they are dialing it back.

The 1990s, it was not as bad as it was before it is peak. Therefore, we had some fun interaction, enjoying nature, with Wolverine, Storm, Caliban, and Cannonball. Now that seems to be like the cast for some kind of soap opera. They are in the mountains and obviously Wolverine and Storm are more cut out for this sort of thing. Especially more so than Caliban, although Storm's little rain storm to cool them off and get them motivated was a nice touch.

There is also some good stories, almost as if this issue was intended to be a bit of a jumping on point, where new readers can really get in.

Wolverine versus a bear, not really as epic as you would think right at first. But that little scene was fun enough right in its own way.

Not really much more to say, other than a nice five minute read, where you can get a bit from but perhaps not all that much. I did enjoy the issue but Wolverine Issue 96 is not one for anyone but the completists.
