Il primo numero ha venduto 260 mila copie.

[No Use For A Name]

Return of Wolverine #3 has been pushed back one week to November 28, while #4 has been pushed back four weeks to January 16.

[Man of Steel]

Quindi dovrebbero uscire 2 numeri a gennaio, senza ulteriori ritardi? Speriamo.
Vediamo di non postipare più del dovuto il ritorno di Wolvie che ormai ho le palle piene.

A Febbraio fanno in tempo a lanciare 2 testate, un (immagino) ennesimo rilancio di Uncanny X-Men #1, oppure potrebbero continuare la numerazione del weekly, quindi pubblicare un #11, ma per qualche ragione non sono molto ottismista...e l'altra, per l'appunto, una testata omonima di Wolverine.

Ma perché dovrebbero rilanciare UXM? Dopo il primo arco narrativo, continuerà come al solito, non vedo perché rilancarla per l'ennesima volta.

Per quanto riguarda Wolverine, è quasi palese che alla fine della mini, avrà una sua testata, oltre ad un probabile ritorno nel roster degli X-Men.

[Man of Steel]

Perché è esattamente quello che hanno fatto con Avengers No Surrender per poi avere la run di Aaron...da un #1.

[No Use For A Name]

Quello era un evento coinvolgente gli Avengers, non saprei se nel caso di UXM, si possa parlare di evento, o di un semplice arco narrativo di 12 numeri, come succederà con The Green Lantern.

[Man of Steel]

La sostanza è la stessa.
Tra l'altro No Surrender seguiva il classico numbering della testata Avengers, infatti il #10 di Aaron sarà...boh #700 o quello che è...
Inoltre, sul serio, perchè dubitare di certe cose quando la Marvel ci ha abituato con mille azzate? il rilancio di Uncanny Avengers post-Axis è durato CINQUE numeri e poi hanno fatto un altro rilancio, detto tutto.

[Leonard13]

Bisogna vedere che intenzioni hanno con la testata,perché se vogliono continuare con blockbusteroni da 12-part,allora non serve rinumerare,ma se hanno organizzato un buono e costante team creativo nel frattempo,di sicuro vorranno cavalcare l'onda.

Letto #2
Siamo solo al secondo numero e non c'è più traccia di McNiven, mazza che perdente...
Le matite non erano di mio gusto.
Posso dire la stessa cosa anche per la storia, anzi faceva pena.
Inoltre si lega molto male con la continuity mutante...

Spiacente, ma non sei autorizzato a visualizzare il contenuto degli spoiler.

Nel prossimo numero Jean dovrebbe incontrare Logan e.....wow, non vedo l'ora, aspettavo questo momento da un saaaacco, ma Logan non si ricorda più niente, affan...

Return of Wolverine #3
Written by Charles Soule

Published by Marvel Comics
Review by Pierce Lydon
'Rama Rating: 2 out of 10

We're three issues into Return of Wolverine, and so far it's proving to be the communion wafer of comic books - bland and unfulfilling but supposedly symbolic and meaningful. There's a workmanlike quality to Charles Soule and Declan Shalvey's output that makes the whole thing seem like a non-event. The issue is fairly straightforward: after escaping the mysterious organization Soteira, an amnesiac Logan is hunting the villainous Persephone looking for answers, but the X-Men have finally tracked him down and they're eager to find their friend. But it's stakes and direction are weirdly unclear. There has been a sense of history present - the first issue attempted to trade on the mystery and intrigue present in Barry Windsor Smith's "Weapon X," while the second issue arguably bore some resemblance to the classic Uncanny X-Men #133 - but this story buckles under the weight of that history, a lack of narrative intent and its own attempts to do far too much.

With stories like this, there is a pressure to add a new classic to the canon. We saw this with Phoenix Resurrection as well - a story attempting to bring not only a character back to the fold but recognize that their entire history has come along with them, especially for readers who may be less familiar with the nuances of that backstory. The problem is that Wolverine hasn't actually been gone that long, and so much of that history is irrelevant to enjoying the character (sorry, Romulus). So instead of a work that brings back the most enduring version of a character, we get something that attempts to contextualize the character within their own history while also being additive to the mythos. In the case of Logan and this creative team, that's biting off a little more than one can chew in a lot of ways.

In three issues (not counting the bevy of tie-ins that feel largely irrelevant to this story), Soule has only given us the foggiest notion of a threat and doesn't seem interested in answering any questions within the narrative unless it's to somewhat explain the random series of events we're treated to on the page. And amidst a barebones narrative thrust, Soule puts us inside Logan's head as he quite literally unlocks different aspects of his personality. It would almost seem like a pretentious analysis of the character's history if it wasn't so mishandled - but at the end of the day, even with all these different facets of the character to choose from, Soule doesn't have anything to actually say about Wolverine. Arguably, that's been the problem with his work on the character historically, not just with this arc.

Artist Declan Shalvey doesn't do Soule any favors, either. His linework is as dull as the script. His page layouts are mostly the same as he opts for wide panel after wide panel with little regard for the action. This leads to bizarre perspectives in some shots or dead fish expression work in others. What's so frustrating is that not only has Shalvey made some great comic books in the past — he's honestly made some great comic books recently. But Return of Wolverine isn't one of them, because it feels like a hastily finished homework assignment more than a piece of art that is deliberate and intentional.

Soule and Shalvey haven't built any substantial or meaningful intrigue or mystery into this story - two things that many would consider hallmarks of the Wolverine character. Return of Wolverine has been a disappointment so far to say the least. This is a team of talented creators not working to their potential and not finding a way to make one of Marvel's greatest characters a marquee event. We always knew Wolverine wouldn't be dead forever but this creative team isn't able make us care that he's back.

Che palla, meno male che Shalvey è bravissimo.

Damn, si merita per davvero quel voto.
Speriamo che il prossimo numero sia migliore, perchè questa piccolissima riunione con gli X-Men mi ha fatto SCHIFO e nemmeno le matite aiutano!
Ma non potevano almeno scegliere un clone di McNiven o uno che si avvicina al suo tratto invece di 'sto qui? Boh...
