Wolverine secret weapon (and often comic relief for X-Men readers) gets his own limited series by two comic book giants starting this week.

 

All-New Doop #1 reunites co-creators Peter Milligan and Michael Allred who gave us Doop back in a groundbreaking new take on X-Force which became X-Statix.

 

If you missed the Doop-centric issue of Wolverine and the X-Men you missed out on a hilarious issue showing the inner workings of the Jean Grey School.

 

The series gives us an insider look of what else happened during X-Men: Battle of the Atom including Doop’s role in the X-Men’s monumental fight and Kitty Pryde’s personal life. Continue reading ALL-NEW DOOP

Wolverine and the X-Men #42 arrives this week. It’s the finale to the series by writer Jason Aaron.

 

After fighting the Hellfire Club, monsters, aliens and each other it’s Graduation Day at the Jean Grey School.

 

As I’ve written in nearly every review of this series – Jason Aaron made this book a pure joy to read every month. He balanced action, drama, teen angst and perfect accents of humor along with Brood, Wolverine’s brother, homicidal teenage brats and even Frankenstein.

Doop – The Untold Story! Why the X-Men Need Him!

Everything you wanted to know about Doop but were afraid to ask! It’s actually more like everything Doop does that makes you scared he’s around0 kids. Mike and Laura Allred reunite with the lovable mystery (man, thing, it?) that co-created with Peter Milligan back in X-Force/X-Statix.

Doop is now working (mostly sleeping on the job) for Logan at the Jean Grey School. In this week’s Wolverine and the X-Men #17 the Allreds join writer Jason Aaron for Doop- the untold story. Now we know why Logan recruited the green ball and why he’s asleep a lot. One of the most obscure characters in comics receives a hilarious, colorful back story. What’s even better is the other outrageous and forgotten character who makes a surprise appearance in Doop’s tale. We see just how crucial a role Doop has been playing all this time and the sacrifices (sexual and otherwise) the great green one has made to protect the future of mutantkind.

This Doop-centric story isn’t just comic relief. This issue forwards the elements of this amazing series and reinforces what I love about the eclectic cast. Aaron continues to perfectly mix action, drama and humor. This is an offbeat and welcome break from the doom of AvX. Wolverine may be the only character who can understand Doop’s language but the green guy speaks volumes on the pages of this issue – maybe the funniest of the year.

Wolverine and Doop by Allred

  There are many reasons to love Jason Aaron’s Wolverine and the X-Men: Kitty & Iceman’s growing attraction, Kid Gladiator, Bamfs, Broo, Beast in full wacky professor mode, Logan’s tempter tested by Kid Omega, Toad’s crush on Husk and then there’s Doop!

  Mike and Laura Allred crafted the cover for this week’s Wolverine and the X-Men #17 featuring Logan and Doop ready for action! The staff and students of the Jean Grey School try to soldier on despite the world burning in the grip of the Phoenix. One student may not survive this AvX tie-in.

  Allred co-created Doop with Peter Milligan back in an X-Force reboot which became X-Statix. Doop is now on staff at the Jean Grey School. Just one of the many characters Jason Aaron has on an amazing and eclectic palette of characters on the tite.
