Comic book readers so often assume that a given story or issue is the creation of the writer. I fall prey to this at times too in my writing, focusing on a narrative-based review as I imagine these panels as they were concocted in a comic scribe's script. More than almost any other outlet, though, comics are visual medium. Artists are just as important as the people plotting out Wolverine's latest adventure or the personal turmoil always afflicting the X-Men. There are few examples in the X-canon that better exemplify the power of an illustrator than the Wolverine: Inner Fury oversized one-shot issue from 1992 featuring the mind-blowing artwork of Bill Sienkiewicz.

Wolverine Epic Collection: Inner Fury Review

Bill Sienkiewicz's artwork is a perfect match for the chaotic psyche of Wolverine.

Wolverine’s greatest fear is that he will somehow lose control of himself. He is always worried that his feral instincts will overcome him, putting the people he loves in danger. It is a real threat to him, and anyone who holds the Wolverine title. If someone gains control of Logan (Or any Wolverine), he can be used to tear people apart.

The X-Men are going to space, fighting Brood, and taking this to the stars in the latest issue of X-Men. The threat of the Brood was made clear last issue (with plenty of alien butt-kicking to boot), and it appears the main mutant team is taking the fight away from Earth. Jonathan Hickman and Leinil Francis Yu wrap up a two-part story utilizing one of the most iconic X-Men villains ever.

Wolverine has never been one to back down from a fight - not even a combined assault from Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth and Doctor Cornelius - but the Flower Cartel might have enlisted his worst and greatest foe: Logan himself.
