The Wolverine is THE Wolverine movie fans have craved. Director James Mangold takes the elements of the classic Chris Claremont story to let Hugh Jackman give his best performance yet as the fan favorite X-Man.

 

Logan is mourning the loss of Jean Grey (after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand) living as a loner in the woods, renouncing violence and haunted by dreams of his painful past. Logan is drawn out of isolation to reunite with the man who’s life he once saved. The young soldier is now a billionaire on the edge of death and he wants to give Logan the “gift” of death – a chance to end his eternal suffering and become a normal man.

Batman/Superman #2 The first issue of when Bruce met Clark blew me away. Greg Pak and Jae Lee create a thrilling, creepy mystery that brings the two iconic characters together and in this issue launches them out of this world.

 

Lazarus #2 Greg Rucka and Michael Lark’s stunning new sci-fi epic is a sinister new spin on violent heroines in a dystopian future. I fell obsessively in love with the killer girl named Forever in just one issue! Run out and grab issue one, get this one and enjoy.
