WOLVERINE FIRST CLASS #19: “Discreet Invasion, part 1” (All Ages)

Peter David (w); Dennis Calero (p/i/c); Joe Caramagna (l); cover by Skottie Young

Publisher: Marvel

Format: monthly series

Concept:

In this issue: Guess who's invading the pages of Wolverine: First Class? Here's a hint: it's a secret. Can't guess? Okay, we'll tell ya -- it's those dastardly Skrulls! What happens when Logan and Kitty get shanghaied by that pesky FF foe, the Super-Skrull? We could spoil it, but where's the fun in that? Guaranteed there's no one better to cut that wrinkly-chinned chump down to size than the X-mansion's resident canucklehead and his intangible apprentice. But we're gonna guess he's got some tricks up those rocky sleeves of his... (from marvel.com)

Review: Imagine yourself waking up one morning, doing your regular morning routine, only to find out that instead of being at home, you're actually on a Skrull spaceship? That's the position Kitty finds herself in. I can't say that I'm too fond of the artwork (with Young's hilarious cover being the exception), but the story is quite entertaining and really gives Kitty a chance to prove herself.

By thy side,

John “Figaro” Norris
