Wolverine #66
MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN-who last teamed for the monumental CIVIL WAR-bring us the most important WOLVERINE story of the 21st Century. Nobody knows what happened on the night the heroes fell. All we know is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery of all. For 50 years, no one has heard hide nor hair from him…and in his place stands an old man called Logan. A man concerned only about his family. A man pushed to the brink by the HULK GANG. A man forced to help an old friend-the blind archer, HAWKEYE-to drive three thousand miles to secure his family's safety. Get ready for the ride of your life, Logan.

I pulled this but now I am thinking I might wait for the trade. Mainly because I am already buying a ton of books (thanks to iFanboy) and I didn't read any of civil war. I have been liking what Millar has been doing on Kick Ass and 1985. I am also looking forward to War Stories (still haven't decided issues or trade). I love issues but trades are so convenient and easier to get for a cheap price. Decisions, decisions.
Posted by comicdork37 on 06/17/08 at 01:50 PMMillar did Wolverine: Enemy of the State which is probably the trade most responsible for getting me back into comics. That was like a 12 issue action movie, and I'm hoping for more of the same out of this
Posted by cutty on 06/17/08 at 03:04 PMI agree that Wolverine: Enemy of the State was AWESOME. I stumbled across it not even knowing it existed. That was a great read in trade. Another reason I might wait for this in trade. These types of stories seem to better read as a whole rather than in part. In contrast I really liked reading Aaron's "Get Mystique" arc in issues.
Posted by comicdork37 on 06/17/08 at 04:04 PMcomicdork37 - without a doubt this is going to be made for trade. knowing mcniven though, that probably won't be out till 2010
Posted by cutty on 06/17/08 at 04:09 PMMillar, McNiven & Wolverine -- could this possibly be bad?
Posted by WadeWilson on 06/17/08 at 10:01 PMEnemy of the State is one of the Marvel's best stories EVER (yeah I liked it that much) so Mark Millar's return to Wolverine has me very excited. No doubt it'll get a good slagging from the Millar hating comics community at large, but I can't help but feel that this is going to be great. I mean come on, a geriatric Logan on a road trip through a post apocalyptic Marvel Universe - how can that not be great superhero comics?
Posted by domsutton on 06/18/08 at 08:16 AMI really wanted to pick this up today, but all I saw was a big empty spot.
Posted by thebouv on 06/18/08 at 03:08 PMI had a lot of fun reading this.
Posted by doddzilla on 06/18/08 at 03:27 PM@thebouv - it didn't get shipped to my LCS today either. the owner was pretty pissed off
Posted by cutty on 06/18/08 at 03:27 PMDid anyone else get a Hunter Thompson vibe from Hawkeye, especially in the last few panels?

Decided to pick this up after flipping through it at my LCS and was glad I did. I loved this even though I read none of Civil War it just didn't matter. This was my first exposure to McNiven's art and I was blown away. Now I know what everyone was talking about. His thin/fine lines and detail reminds me of Geoff Darrow (wish he did more comics).
Posted by comicdork37 on 06/18/08 at 08:22 PMThis was totally great. Between this, Mavel 1985, and kick-ass, Millar is doing much more than his fair share to fill the market with big awesome books. Possibly my pick of the week. This or Herc.
Posted by NealAppeal on 06/18/08 at 09:15 PMi didnt see this title in the september titles coming out, does anyone know if theres a delay or somthing?
Posted by imadeadpool on 06/18/08 at 10:30 PMWoo Hoo Doggy! Gotta love the Spidey-Mobile!
Posted by SamMorgan on 06/19/08 at 08:05 AM"Logan? The Hulk gang's here."
You gotta love it.
I'm guessing Millar was watching Unforgiven when he thought up this issue (un-4-given looks like is even written on the front of the Hulk gang's fantasticar-jacked ride) and I'm not complaing -- it's one of my all time favourite movies.
Best art I've seen in a while too.

My mutant power must be the ability to be too lazy to re-read my posts before posting them.
Posted by WadeWilson on 06/19/08 at 09:15 AMI am sooo getting this in HC! How many issues is this arc supposed to be?
Posted by RolandofGilead on 06/19/08 at 11:57 AM12
Posted by cutty on 06/19/08 at 12:01 PMI thought I read it was 8 issues (that is a weird number if it is true).
Posted by comicdork37 on 06/19/08 at 04:51 PMthis is gonna be that long? thats awesome. right away im going to say this is the next planet hulk. lets hope it doesnt get delayed. definitely my pick of the week and i only read half my books so far. i just have a feeling this is gonna be an epic run. oh, and who's taking early bets on who the first fill-in artist will be? is there a pool going for WHEN the first fill-in is gonna be? my early bet is on mike mckone, issue 5. i just hope we don't get a crap fill-in like sean chen....*shudder*
Posted by ActualButt on 06/19/08 at 09:57 PMFirst of all, I am a hardcore Wolverine fan and have followed it for years...even through like the last 10 years that every writer has tried and failed to do something interesting with the character....This looks like it could develop into a good story like the end was, but if it has like 27 parts like Enemy of the state did and with a 3 month gap in issues, I'd rather just skip it...Lest we forget that the first three issues of Enemy of the State were boring as batshit with Wolverine beating on Marvel B-listers and *huh* running...??

This installment of the Wolverine Chronicles is awesome so far!!! I really loved the way they went about this storyline. I can't wait for the next issue to come out.
