WOLVERINE MAGAZINE #2 offers another four stories, all but one featuring at least one of the X-Men. I’m assuming that the two-issue WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN MAGAZINE has been absorbed into this perodical, since the titular, metal-clawed hero is absent for half of its contents.
First up is a WOLVERINE: FIRST CLASS story in which all Logan wants to do is kick back at the X-Mansion and watch the Stanley Cup finals on TV. His night of R&R, however, is upended by Kitty Pryde and two other girls bickering, not to mention activating some robot villains in the Danger Room that get loose.
A continuation of the previous issue’s WEAPON X: FIRST CLASS number is next, with Professor X again helping Wolverine probe his mind to fill in the blanks of his true origin. It’s one of those reality-benders where our hero ends up fighting an earlier version of himself.
From X-MEN/POWER PACK comes a team-up between the pint-sized super-siblings and The Beast, at the Super Bowl of science conventions — one that Mystique has dared crash. Last is the second chapter of Marvel’s adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK, which I doubt the magazine’s younger-age target will appreciate, even if I do. —Rod Lott
