Thought I’d roll up the week in one post as Wolverine doesn’t exactly take center stage in either of the Avengers books out this week…

I gotta be honest with you, I don’t think Wolverine belongs in the above, adjective-less iteration of the Avengers…

Great dialogue and more down-to-Earth action — even if it is magic…
