@Newsarama- The Shade #4 and Wolverine and the X-Men #4
So Thursday is supposed to be our pellet review day at Best Shots but I think last week I ended up rambling a bit on a couple of comic books.
Wolverine and the X-Men #4: Jason Aaron and Nick Bradshaw have given us “The Breakfast Club” of the X-Men as we get to see these kids in a class that’s just a thinly veiled fortune telling session. Instead of “ a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal,” we get a killer, a monster, an alien, a madman and a Phoenix.
The Shade #4: Cooke pulls you ever closer and closer into the confidential discussions of these two men and then quite literally broadens your horizons with large panels as Shade begins telling the man about his grand adventures. And it all works because Cooke makes you privy to the personal moments just as skillfully as he gets you excited by the fighting and punching.
You can read both reviews here.
