Much better issue than the last.
I love how wolverine stole Magneto's helmet lol
The pale girl seems to have run away.
USA xenophobia is really shining in making Russia the only big real world country that didn't sign the treaty, I thought we left those days behind but apparently not.
In a few years China will join that list lol
Also that bit about Kid Omega being in love with the stepford cuckoos (Yes all five of them) and the stepford cuckoos being in love with Cable (Yes all five girls love the same guy) was just hilarious.
There is a bit of unreachable utopia right now in the story, the medicines that can solve most of what we die of today, and seeing kids that were surely going to die run and play and laugh again, and make their parents the happiest people on earth.
That's too good to be true, but I would be very happy if one day the world can cure cancer and mental illness and increase life spans. Hell, I would die of cancer to see the whole world live without it, but that's just my Messiah complex and how I don't consider my life as dear as everyone else's.

4.5 stars. This was dope. So last we saw, Wolverine was on a boat being mind controlled by the “Pale Girl”. This issue we get to see what transpired before and after. Awesome! I loved the part with Logan drinking with Magneto and what came of that. Cool as hell. Also loved how Wolverine got Quentin Quire to join. A nice twist to what we read in issue 2. Awesome book. So ready for issue #4!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa FINALLY! A lot of good jokes that made me laugh out loud or grin while reading, our mutants / Krakoans getting drunk and being funny and scheming together (or against each other but for good reasons) and working together against Evil and collaborating with good-hearted human allies and nobody we love has to die.
This issue is a riot! Easily the gem of the latest five X-Men books that we got this week.
It's such a long time coming but how MARVELOUS is it that Marvel writers have finally acknowledged that too much angst and perpetual defeat of mutants can drag X-fans down and cause us to drop the comics because they'd been too depressing for yearsss? Not anymore with Dawn of X! Finally fans can begin to hope, just like Xavier does, for our beloved mutants to survive and thrive.

Nice to see wolverine do the opposite of what he usually does. Work with his team, trust people, and be a actual planner. The ending was super sweet and it was nice to see Logan actually get some damn credit for once. This series is always a fun read.

Finisce (per ora) lo scontro con la Pale Girl, con un bel colpo di scena che mostra retroscena dello scorso numero e che prepara lo scontro in questo.
Emergono alcune cose interessanti:
-la Marvel sembra intenzionata a puntare il dito parecchio contro l'est europa, in queste serie mutanti. Non è la prima volta che le nazioni di questa area vengono mostrate come i cattivi, ma qui si prospetta un ruolo anche in futuro. Interessante.
-Interessante anche il dilemma sull'identità di questa Pale Girl. Non penso siano casuali i riferimenti di Xavier a una somiglianza con Jean Grey... chi sarà? Che legame c'è con Jean? Di sicuro non può essere Maddie in incognito, visto che lei compare in Hellions come villain.
-L'unica perplessità è data dai suoi poteri, però. Sono ancora sconosciuti in gran parte, però durante lo scontro quando lei si libera di Logan, perché non prende possesso di qualcuno dei Marauders per rivoltarglielo contro? Perché non si occupa di Quentin? Quali limiti ha il suo potere?
Speriamo non passi troppo tempo prima di avere queste risposte.

A good one!
I liked it, but I'd like it much better if it wasn't over so fast, all these Krakoan tales lasting 2-3 issues each and everything going on starts and ends real quick.
So, Wolvie VS Pale Girl, the finale. It's nice seeing Wolvie NOT going alone against someone (at last), and having teammates around too.
Also, I never knew I needed this, but I guess Percy did, Wolverine with Magneto's helmet. Wolveto? Magnerine? Ok, I'll stop. Awesome either way!
And the artwork pretty much speaks for itself. Amazing, especially when it's double paged!

I'm tempted to knock off a star for the next issue being "Vampire Nation". *sigh*
I'm curious about the Pale Girl. Is it Jean's ghost? An echo of her? Some piece of her psyche that broke off to exist on its own? A secret sister?! 👀The page long excerpts from Beast are wearing thin across all of the X-books. The occasional spending pages explaining it is fine but more than one in an issue is too much. I wish the authors would find a better way but I don't know what that is. I think this issue had a nice balance of berserker and therapy. Not sure why there needs to be a gate at Bannister's house though.

A great end to the first arch of the new Wolverine series...especially how Logan acquires Magneto's helmet. Bringing in the Marauders was also a pleasant surprise, though the warning he gets from Sage that the Quiet Council wants to talk to him will be interesting, considering Storm is a member of the Quiet Council.
And the art--Adam Kubert just knocks it out of Krakoa.

Ok, this is good...this is really good.
Let's start with the art, which is the best thing I've ever seen Adam Kubert draw. He's doing some really interesting things with the layouts in this book. He's clearly having a lot of fun. and, talking of fun, Benjamin Percy's having a lot of fun with the writing too. That whole scene with Logan and Quentin and the Cuckoos was just priceless. Not to mention Logan "borrowing" Magneto's helmet!
I mean, there's still plenty of that gritty seriousness you expect from a Wolverine book, but what there is also is a creative team that's stretching its legs and really enjoying itself.
I was going to give this four stars, but...no...it deserves that extra star for surprising me.

A great issue with emotional highs and lows, almost got 5 stars

A pretty good ending to this story. I liked it. Except for the pale woman literally just walking away while Wolverine stopped her plan with the agent, who I also still don't quite understand how he lived. I guess Quentin-as-Wolverine faked stabbing him? It's unclear. Eh, whatever. I'm happy he and his daughter are good.

Really good issue and Wolverine continues to be a great return title.
Action, brilliant laugh watching Wolverine drink Magneto unconscious, decent back and forth dialogue and great art.
More Wolverine!!

Good one, maybe a bit quick in the conclusion, but a fun read!

Getting Magneto drunk and stealing his helmet is a story all on its own....
