Okay--I enjoyed most of this. It’s quite light, and I generally don’t think of anything related to Wolverine as being light lol. The story’s essentially told from an X-Men neophyte’s perspective, Kitty. I think it reads like a good jumping-in point if you’ve never read or seen anything-X-Men--the storytelling does a good (albeit quick) job of introducing the X-Men by introducing Kitty.
I do sometimes wish that Wolverine wasn’t an asshole so much (which he is in this comic), but then his backstory events essentially drove him to be an asshole. His assholeness was inescapable, like a planet stuck orbiting a sun…er, something like that.
Note that I’m a big fan of most of the X-Men movies, and I loved the first Wolverine movie (I didn’t like the second), so I’m a little biased here.
I actually had this on my Kindle from when Amazon was doing one of its free comic offers--I have dozens of comics from those offers, and I’m backlogged on reading them. But, knowing the way my mind works and what it focuses on, I probably downloaded this Wolverine one partly because of that image on the cover--the image of Wolverine’s, uh, stance, shall we say. That’s certainly why I picked it up to read yesterday lol…..

A ver, no voy a mentir y decir que cuando Kitty preguntó qué era Coloso mi cerebro instintivamente respondió "Gay" bien fuerte y claro XD perdón, es que... Si.
Jaja
Por otro lado, yo también quiero clases de conducción peligrosa con Wolverine, no jodas. La suerte que tienen algunos.
Logan a veces es muy melodramatico el tipo jajajjaja es que en serio es tipo : es que ustedes no saben por lo que pasé (fondo oscuro, lluvia, luz desde arriba directa y dramática.) Sasuke Uchiha antes de que existiera Sasuke Uchiha XD.

Kitty Pryde is a brand-new arrival at Charles’s X-Men University.
She has a big crush on Peter, aka Colossus.
Illustration quality varies heavily. Some is really strong, usually the close-ups. The ones that pan out aren’t great; at times, Kitty is giving suburban housewife vibes.
Kitty and Wolverine’s mission is in West Virginia.
A new mutant…
The explanation of their actual ages comes fairly late.
Despite the artwork issues, the plot line is actually cool. Would continue.

d&w me deixou completamente OBCECADA pelo wolverine e isso me deu força de vontade de começar a ler as hq's, coisa que tenho vontade desde quando comecei a acompanhar esse mundo de super-herói em 2021.\n\npeguei essa pq tava 0 reais no kindle, não achei o inglês tão difícil apesar de ter algumas palavras que eu não conhecia mas nada que afetasse muito a compreensão da história, adorei a arte e a relação da kitty com o logan e espero ver mais deles nas próximas hqs

Una historia simple
Muy buen arte,la diagramación es perfecta y las forma de delinear los personajes es agradable y sencilla. Y por sencilla, seguramente esperaba un poco más. Sin embargo, vale la pena.

Wolverine and Kitty what's not to like
Shows the aspects of wolverine personality. I think he always needs a side kick to help him keep control of his rage and bring out the hero in him.

Approach with caution
Kitty Pryde gets teamed with Wolverine. He doesn’t want the team up; she’s new to XMen. You can tell where this is going can’t you? And it does. Formulaic and too predictable for me but doubtless it will appeal to a much younger audience. Sorry, etc.

Great read.
Great read, however, found it a little short. Quality drawing skill, and a good story. Would recommend for a read.

Ok story
Short story but at least it was a complete story, unlike some of the teaser free comics being given out.

Good read
Good background and introduction to a new character. A little more insight into wolverine's mind. I would give it a recommendation.

Thought it'd be wolverine...
...But It turned out ok. It's a nice comic to read on the side of other comics\gn's.
I'll look into adding the story arc into my collection.

Enjoy it a lot
This is my first marvel comic. I was surprised that I enjoyed it a lot. I was not so into this kinda stuff before, but i'll read more in the future.

It is decent
Definitely not the worst thing ever written but not the best by a long shot. It was free so that's why I have it.

Kitty Pryde is jewish?
You have to love kitty pryde!
THIS one also gives an edge of your seat insight as to why logan is such an a-hole to everyone. My mains criticism. Is it's unclear who the rescued female.mutant is,l, in the story (i.e. we learn her mutant powers bit not necessarily her name from the story itself)

I don't get it. They can write Kitty as a young teen, why hasn't anyone figured out how to write her as a young adult? This story is pretty simple - Kitty going on her first mission paired with Logan. And as expected she saves the day kind of by being herself. And Logan is also himself, not simply a mindless berserker and yet also a mindless berserker.
