dark_noldor's Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine #2 - Another Fine Mess, Part Two review

    Crisis in the future

    The Story - Logan and Peter, after avoiding a bank robbery, get themselves involved in a timestream mess, first going to the dinossaur age and now, in issue # 2, in a post apocaliptic New York city where the Small Folk are the soul survivors.
    Although I must admit this isn´t the typical scenario and plot for them to get into, it´s a very interesting concept developed by Jason Aaron and now some questions are been answered, such as the link between the bank robbery and the "diamonds" with the time stream mayhem, and that explains a lot: Spider-Man's bad luck got them both stuck in this mess, what makes me feel good about having them in this time/space/cosmic plot.
    The dialogues are astonishing, both the Logan/Parker conversation in Logan's hideout, as Spider's dialogues with the Small Folk.
    The narrative is very consistent, it´s funny to watch Spider trying to have a "normal" life in all this mess, and at the same time struggling to find an answer to the Earth crisis Doom about to unveil.
    The Art is amazing, impressive, uncanny, I think Adam Kubert really delivered in this issue, he has evolved in his own style and improved some limitations he´d used to have (one of the best scenes was the inventory, reminded me of Hulk: Future Imperfect and Old Man Logan, really cool).
    To me this issue is a solid 4.5 out 5

Which is where this book picks up from and develops the idea of this alternate future and shows Spider-Ma...

      Spidey had me cracking up in this issue. 0

      Story: Spidey is teaching this civilization of furry people about physics. Spidey got some sort of assistant named Mikal. They're trying to create something to save the world and to be honest I had no idea what was going on in that part. Spider-Man got his costume from History's Lamest super-heroes statue. Wolverine became the messiah but he doesn't go outside. All he does is train with his robots. I remember Spider-Man made a lot of jokes in their conversation. Wolverine tells Spidey that he ca...
