Wolverine #19 Writer: Benjamin Percy | Artist: Javi Fernandez | Colourist: Matthew Wilson | Letters: Cory Petit
I didn’t think it was possible to get a great standalone issue in modern comics, especially in the Krakoan Age of X-Men comics we are currently in. But I am always happy to be proven wrong! What I like about this issue, in particular, is that even 19 issues into a new era and a solo book at that Percy is continuing to world build for the Krakoan Age. Don’t you just love the idea of Krakoa having its own myths and legends outside of the X-Men we all know and love? Part of why this issue I love this issue is because of all the allusions to Jaws. I love that movie! Moby Dick is another obvious inspiration. Percy after all is a literary guy so of course he is going to channel two classics to shape a Wolverine romp.
