Predator Versus Wolverine #1 review









Wolverine, unlike Benjamin Percy, is very well versed in Predator movies. A big fan! The diminutive Canadian has streamed them all on small screens, multiple times. He also clearly read all the Dark Horse comics, even the unpublished Predator: The Original Screenplay adaptation by Jeremy Barlow and Patrick Blaine.

Logan knows everything about the demons who make trophies of men, even that they are called the Yautja and Marvel's favourite son is not impressed. LOL.


What I did like:


Old Painless makes an appearance. Kinda.

Krull (1983) homage.

The Predator (1987) score by Alan Silvestri was playing in my head.

Predator vs Wolverine #3 will feature art by Japanese Transformers artist superstar Kei Zama!


What I did not like:


A big cat would stay clear from a weird 7 foot tall alien wearing fishnet and a metal codpiece.

A dead Predator still holding his own weapon? AND the weapons that killed him are still stuck to him? LOL

No Peter Cullen cameo!

No Anna Gonsalves!

No Franco Columbu medic!

Killing animals that bring no sport at all. Extremely lame!

A hunter disrespecting his kill. Both Marvel editors should get fired for this.

A Predator only strings up skinned humans. It's an intimidation tactic.

Wolverine not frightened/curious that he's got green fluorescent blood on his claws or that he's fighting an extraterrestrial being.

What looks more ridiculous, the brightly coloured black ops "Team X" or their idiotic artillery?

A Predator riding a killer whale was probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a Marvel comic.

The price! $7.99 is completely insane for Greg Land's "art"! It should be free, just like Willy!

I give it a 1/10. An Orca (1977) vs Predator comic in 2024 written by Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer? Do it, Disney. I double predator dog dare you! Anytime... Anytime...

G.I. Joe #2 (2024) review

Creators : Joshua Williamson (writer), Tom Reilly (artist), Jordie Bellaire (colorist), Rus Wooton (letterer) Story : Picking right up after last issue, Rock 'n Roll is down and the Joes are cornered but Duke comes in on a Cobra F.A.N.G. to help out.  Despite a valiant fight, Cobra is able to head off with the Shard/Energon Tech, though Duke is able to recognize Mercer. Cobra Commander sends in his elite "Valkyries" to finish the job (who kill any wounded) and remote detonates the laser guns so they aren't captured (upsetting Destro as he didn't know that feature was built in).   In the hospital, we find out Stalker and Cover Girl have pretty serious injuries, Rock 'n Roll is dead and Clutch is missing in the rubble.  General Hawk introduces Guerrero La Caza aka Risk, a CIA operative (seen last issue) to the team, upsetting Duke and they get into a fight.  Back at Springfield, Destro would like some more answers about the origin  of the Energon Tech but Cobra...

G.I. Joe #1 (2024) review

Creators : Joshua Williamson, Tom Reilly, Jordie Bellaire Story :  Duke is leading the G.I. Joe team on some training exercises - Clutch, Stalker, Cover Girl, Rock 'n Roll and the Baroness, while giving a bit of background on each.  The Baroness does struggle working with the crew and Duke feels they are not ready yet. In Springfield, Destro shows off his newest gun to Cobra Commander who is very impressed with it.  In Abu Dhabi, G.I. Joe agent Risk (the one missing a part of his left pinkie) beats up some people and tells them not to sell to M.A.R.S. Industries.  Back at the Pit, Hawk and Duke talk it over on what it means to be a leader and what the team needs. They then get their first mission; to retrieve a piece of Cybertronian tech while at the same time Cobra is going after it.  While the Joes are retrieving the tech, they come under attack by Cobra forces, who seem to have them outgunned and out-technologized with their new laser rifles.   Writing ...
