According to MARVEL something big is going to happen, but WHAT!?! We still need to find out the ramifications of Wolverine, Logan & Fantomexs mission to the Weapon Plus headquarters. Time to buckle up, I think we’re in for a rough ride.

Morrison is on top form with this issue! The way #145 left off it made you think what could happen next, but trust you wont be disappointed. All the characters are depicted so well. Due to previous circumstances they portray a sense of urgency to do what they need to do, but there is also a sense that they’re not to sure. The way Morrison captured the shock in the characters when realisation hit them was GREAT! All I’m going to say is, the star has been released from its prison, now go read and enjoy :)

Jimenez has REALLY captured this story well! Everything is there, the urgency, the determination, the shock of realisation, you can see it all in the characters expressions and the way they carry themselves. The opening panels are great at setting the tone and pace of the story and the colouring throughout matches the story. And what can I say about Sciver’s cover, WOW!
