The self-loathing Idie transfers from Generation Hope, Kid Gladiator is a near-invulnerable violence obsessed alien, and Broo is an uncharacteristic representative of his savage race, the Brood. Sociopathic telepath Quentin Quire is the primary teenage focus, his fractious and provocative relationship with Wolverine well characterised, but he’s backed up with an interesting set of supporting players. Gambit may be listed as a school teacher, but he’s only ever seen in the backgrounds as others predominate, Kitty Pryde probably the most used. In terms of cast, Aaron has his favourites and sticks with them. By the end he’s dropped clutter, worked on his figures and faces, and his always strong talent for laying out a page has developed further. Comparing that with the artist who finishes the series with an outer space spectacle instantly displays his growth, and it’s visible almost from chapter to chapter. His art starts very much in thrall to Art Adams, who’s an ambitions, if difficult inspiration, and Bradshaw falls short with awkward features and other mistakes. However, as well as the story of teenage mutants coming to terms with themselves, their powers and others, there’s an over-riding story running through this collection of Nick Bradshaw’s startling artistic development. There’s plenty more of it over the first half of the book. There’s a shaky rationale to the idea of Wolverine running a mutant Hogwarts called the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, but it’s skimmed over, and by the time Chris Bachalo’s completed the first three chapters any thoughts of incongruity have been expunged by the sheer stunning quality of the art. It was issued an unashamed three months after the final of the eight paperback volumes it collects. The four-part epic will reveal the first encounter between Logan and Johnny Blaze, where they teamed up against a demonic serial killer.Jason Aaron’s take on Wolverine and other X-Men running a school for mutants was a highly regarded series from 2011, and doesn’t lack for vocal fans, hence this premium priced hardcover. Now, Miller is back with a new piece that will serve as a variant cover on GHOST RIDER/WOLVERINE: WEAPONS OF VENGEANCE ALPHA #1, the first chapter of a new crossover between Benjamin Percy’s GHOST RIDER and WOLVERINE ongoing series. Together with writer Chris Claremont, Miller redefined the character as the superstar headliner he is today with the character’s first-ever solo series in 1982. This August, fans everywhere will be thrilled to see him return to a Marvel super hero he helped revolutionize: Wolverine! Last year, Marvel Comics welcomed back groundbreaking artist Frank Miller! The comic book visionary has been gracing some of Marvel’s hottest titles with explosive variant covers featuring his iconic art.
