New Mutant, new Wolverine, at least for me. Nice start. Teaser for confrontation with daredevil (which one?). I'll keep up with it.
Without much x-men knowledge I could enjoy the book and I hope that's a good sign.

Huge Laura fan. One of my favorites. However, her series haven't been that great. This little mini starts off decent enough. Basically she goes on a hunt to get back a mutant who's been kidnapped. I like she's a bit more brutal. I also enjoyed some of the action scenes. But the art is rough in some spots, and the villains were lame. But excited for the cliffhanger.

she's beautiful and I love her.

"I need you to take me to the other side.”


“The… other side?”

“You know, where the real nasty ones hang out. ‘Cause Im here to save mutants too. But my way can be kinda messy.”

Me alegro que se decidan a darle una serie propia a la Lobezno de Laura Kinney más que sea solamente personaje de apoyo en esa NyX. De la cual aún seguimos teniendo esa presencia en forma de una de las Cuckoo y Kamala siendo más vivarachas ante el retorno de la situación mutante de ostracismo global que Laura. Quien recordando siempre su génesis como sub experimento a partir del material genético de Logan, vida temprana como asesina letal sin escrúpulos y duro camino hasta poder congratularse en ser una nueva heroína X. No dudará en tener bien afiladas sus garras para defender al pueblo mutante. Teniendo aquí su primer trabajo.

Erica Schultz tiene una jugosa oportunidad. Si bien este número funciona un poco a medio gas, el personaje de Laura Kinney se presta a ser aprovechada (esperemos no echar de más en falta la etapa de Tom Taylor y David López).

I liked the pace of this, the art and colours are okay to good.
The idea is good, sets up an easy way of telling new stories with the knot in the tree. A lot seemed to be happening out of convenience and contrivance. Just so happens the one mutant Laura talks to knows everything relevant. He looked dodgy to her, no specific 'tell'.
The reference to 'cop friend', is that a set up with pay off to come? It doesn't seem so but maybe the Oasis will come back in future stories. I'll keep reading.

The Cybelle history is a nice nod.

Love the art, love that this was just an introduction to her post-Krakoa Wolverine. I know they’re trying hard to make Laura, Kamala and Sophie a group but I can’t see Laura as part of them. I hope that the next issue and the next ones focusing on Laura, Elektra and Bellona, because I really need to know the aftermath of Elektra and Bellona’s encounter in Daredevil Gang War.

Great first issue, and it’s the beginning of a new era for Laura and her fans!

(P.S.: WHERE’S GABBY????????)

[John Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

This issue does an excellent job of establishing a new status quo for Laura, as she's trying to help mutants dislocated from Krakoa. The fights in this are nicely paced and layed out. I thought it was creative how she fought through being blinded. The ending bit with her confronting Elektra Daredevil had me confused, though. How can they cross swords if she has an adamantium skeleton? Otherwise, great start to a new run.

Story was great although slightly chaotic at times. There are clearly a couple of other comics to read to be able to really understand the context of this specific story. Still, art was chill (sometimes a bit odd in terms of how female bodies are drawn) but kind of original. Curious to continue, just hope it slows down a bit.

[Paxton Holley · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’ll be hard not to compare this series to Tom Taylor’s series from a few years ago which is one of my fav series EVER.

Not a bad beginning. They aged Laura down, which I don’t love, but it’s a good start.

I wish a little bit more happened in this comic but… what’s I have to go back and read issue #200 since it’s referenced so much.

[Jerod Tereshka · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yay

Laura is awesome glad she has a new solo. Art is solid! Writing is decent so far looking forward to new issues

[Kevin Montes · Rating 3 out of 5]

Erica Shultz plays it safe with the story having more of a definitive end, but I'm very curious and exicted to how this will go in the long run.

Great art, very frenetic and with the perfect energy for Laura. It’s a super badass issue for her, I loved it.

This is a lot of fun. I love Laura as Wolverine as well as getting to see a couple other legacy characters.
