Wolverine vs. Hulk #3

After a three-year break, the Marvel Classic “Hulk vs. Wolverine” is back. The issue was delayed because writer Damon Lindelof was too busy working on a little TV show I’m not sure anyone has heard of. (LOST, anyone?)

Since the first two issues — the lead-in and post battle — were told in flashback, this issue promises to be an all out brawl between our two favorite Marvel pugilists.

The artwork by Leinil Yu is a treat, as he’s already proven himself worthy of the re-imagining of a classic with his run on the “Superman: Birthright” and “New Avengers” series.

I feel that it’s too early to judge Damon Lindelof’s writing, since there have only been two issues, but judging by his work on LOST, I think the series is going to be a classic on its own.

Deadpool # 8

In this “Dark Reign” storyline, Deadpool, the most famous mercenary in the Marvel Universe, takes on Norman Osborn’s Thunderbolts by launching a full-scale attack on The Avenger’s headquarters.

“Deadpool” comics aren’t meant to be taken seriously – they are mostly for fun.

Writer Daniel Way’s treatment of the Deadpool stays true to the character’s psychotic and whimsical nature, keeping readers entertained with his witty dialogue and the odd situations in whch the hero finds himself.

The only concern I have with the series is Paco Medina’s artwork. It’s not terrible, but there just isn’t anything special about it.

Even though the artwork is a tad disappointing, check out this series for an entertaining read.
