Predator Versus Wolverine #3 review




Predator: The Original Screenplay adaptation by Jeremy Barlow and Patrick Blaine is still not on the stands... but don't be too sad, there's a comic out there waiting for you, it's PvW #3 and it features some spectacular Zama art!

This issue: It's not very clear but apparently the Predator is now pining for adamantium, the indestructible metal bonded to our diminutive hero. Since the Predator isn't talking it's kinda hard to tell.


What I did like:

Japanese Transformers artist superstar Kei Zama is the reason to buy the book! Multiple copies would be best. You've got to support, Kei! Okay?

Pilot is a Schwarzenegger homage.

Other Pilot is a Carl Weathers homage.

NO Xenomorph in the trophy room. Makes sense since the Predator in this story is a cowardly pullet.

Reverse-engineering a Predator mask.


What I did not like:

A Predator killing a sleeping prey. Hard to swallow. Even if the Yautja is lusting for revenge.

Filleting a comatose Logan gives out barely any blood? Wolverine ain't got time to bleed? My pussycat scratches me and plasma spurts all over the place.

Wolverine knows the name Yautja,

The Yautja melts Wolverine's brain with acid. I'm sorry, but Wolvie would be dead.

Wolverine gets spewed out stark naked into outer space. I'm sorry, but Wolvie would be dead.

The Canadian mutant survives an uncontrolled atmospheric entry and a fall back to Earth? Sure. LOL. Nothing on this Earth could have lived.

A Predator helmet can withstand an uncontrolled atmospheric entry? Just like my Timex watch, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking? LOL.

Again just Canada. It's a big place Canada, be more specific, it's actually offensive to a Canadian.

You didn't name a pilot Sven-Ole Thorsen or Franco Columbu? Percy, you don't know your Arnie?

Still no Jean-Claude Van Damme homage!

I give it a 4/10. A really ridiculous comic that could be so much better, so much cleverer. Leave your brain in the wild North, you won't need it.

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 ...
