Collecting: Wolverine and the X-Men #14-18 (AvX crossover)
Wolverine's school copes with the massive changes brought on by the AvX crossover and the continuing bad blood between the X-Men. Kitty Pride (one of my favorite characters) finds her self in the unenviable position of trying to run the school while half the staff is off battling the Phoenix-imbued X-Men. Fortunately the AvX crossover stays at the periphery of these issues which allows space for writer Jason Aaron's knack for storytelling to shine through: readers are treated to three memorable vignettes.
First, Kitty and Colossus go on what has to be about the worst superhero date in the history of comics. Colossus, ever the bumbling romantic, takes his date for the freshest seafood on the planet. God-like powers do not lend themselves to good dinner conversation, however.
Second, Kilgore walks readers through his rise to power. There is a lot of compelling father-son drama that grounds Kilgore's character's motivation. I was surprised by how interesting this story was--Kilgore went from a two-dimension 11 year old tyrant to a more complete character. I'm still not that pitting earth's most powerful superhero mutants against earth's most sadistic pre-teens is a successful plot development, but so far it is working.
Finally, the heart of this graphic novel is the "Wolverine's Secret Weapon" vignette. The issues tell Doop's secret (and vital) role at the school. Artists Michael and Laura Allred beautifully render this story in a style that draws much from Doop's beginnings in the old X-Force (see X-Statix Omnibus )
In summary, this collection of Wolverine and the X-Men manages to deliver three entertaining stories without getting overly bogged down by an increasingly dull crossover event. Story continues in Wolverine & the X-Men by Jason Aaron - Volume 5
As of right now, I think Wolverine & the X-Men is the best of all the Mutant related titles. Great storytelling, and perhaps most important is the seamless balance of both lighthearted as well as somber themes. The book never gets too bogged down in gloom and doom. This is something past & present X-Books have definately been guilty of. In this volume we are still dealing with the AvX storyline, but the book can be thouroughly enjoyed on its own merits. Again, this is a testament to Jason Aaron's brilliance. The same cannot be said of other titles that are AvX ties ins. In fact, the reader almost requires a complete knowledge of AvX happenings in order to enjoy these other titles (I.E. Uncanny X-Men, Avengers Academy). The art is also top notch & works perfectly with the tone and atmosphere Aaron has established for this book. I will have to give the Marvel Now X-titles a little time to sink in before I can make a fair evaluation of those titles vs. Wolverine & the X-Men. But i will say that the new titles have alot to live up to. Hightly recommended.
Wolverne and the X-Men vol.4 is a part of a larger story line of A vs. X. This whole story line, while well written in many ways, is one that I found less then inspiring. The story line shows not only the continue fragmentation of the mutatant community, but of the community of heros as a whole. Wolverine and the X-Men vol. 4 falls into this ark and helps show the tragic consequences of this split. I would have hoped that in the ark the various groups would have eventually found a way to work together to meet the needs of all. But I guess fiction mirrors realtiy to much. For Avengers and X-Men fans this is still a must read.
Good condition. Great read.
Fantastic
