    Good, but needs more Wolverine.

    Never thought I would find myself saying this, but this issue in particular needs more (most people are sick of him). Anyway, the only reason I say this is that the cover leads one to believe that Wolverine takes on the Mandarin in one on one combat. But that doesn't exactly happen. It's actually more of Psylocke vs Mandarin, with Wolverine getting the jump on him when he isn't looking. Otherwise, the action is pretty good. Jim Lee is an amazing artist, and perfectly complements Claremont's writing. Claremont and Lee are the best combination for X-Men, that's for sure. If you don't like Jubilee, though, you might not like it as much, but still, it's a good issue.
