X-Fans Delight!

This reboot of Marvel's most used character hasn't been too bad. It's had its high points and its low points, but for the most part I would classify it as entertaining.

Now, the X-Men have joined the fray in trying to separate Logan's body from it's demon host. I know, it sounds corny, but it actually works better than one might think. Despite some of the most powerful X-Men's efforts however (Magneto, Namor, Cyclops), the demon is just too powerful to be stopped.

Writer Jason Aaron crafts some pretty good battle scenes early in the book. Wolverine has the admantium ripped out of his body by Magneto, is dragged deep into the Pacific Ocean by Namor and is blasted by Cyclops. What's not to like, right? But believe it or not, these brawls don't involve the best part of this book.

Near the end of the book, a shadowy individual is trying to help Wolverine win the battle for his soul. Deep within Wolverine, in a place not of this world are a series of doors behind which Wolverine has locked away memories. My heart sank a little when this shadowy, "fuzzy blue" character declared that it was "time to burn the demons out...", and then proceeded to open a door with a giant phoenix symbol on it. Regardless as to what this truly means is irrelevant to me as an X-Fan. The timing was perfect, and two integral members are referenced. That is all I need to get excited.

I don't care much for Daniel Acuna's art, and like Jae Lee's covers even less. Despite the visual problems, this story really holds up. So if you are a true X-Fan, give this book and the next one following a read.

I dropped this book at #5.1. The whole Road to Hell has been pretty horrible in my opinion. Sounds cool though that Nightcrawler is looking for Phoenix inside Wolverines mind.
