Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine by Adam Kubert, Jason Aaron

Great artwork (some frames standing head and shoulders above others in awesome-ness but all really good) but while the story started out really intriguing (how could it not be with Wolverine and Spider Man?) I got a little apathetic towards the end. Not too bad for a quick read and it had some interesting moments that made this impulse buy a worthwhile one.

I love time travel conundrums. There are several in here. It is a real puzzler.

Utterly insane. But in the best kinds of ways. Doom the Living Planet, Phoenix bullet, time travel nuttiness... Once of the most pure fun comics I've read in a long time

Best team-up I've ever read. You wouldn't expect these two to work together, but their dynamic is excellent to read and their characters very well-written. The writing was pretty hilarious, and the art fantastic and perfect for the mood. Everything was great - Czar and his future selves (and their poor timing), Hank's vague intuition, Logan creating beer and assimilating with hunters across the species barrier, Peter keeping giant bugs as pets (and his oh-so-delicious angst at the end, because what Spider-Man comic is complete without Peter Parker's tears of despair). It would get five stars if it weren't for some of the weird plotholes. I mean, come on Marvel, a quick Google search will tell you the K-T extinction event occurred at least 10 million years before primate species, let alone bipedal primates, no matter how much we'd like to think dinosaurs and primates co-existed. I can accept time-travel, aliens, and sentient planets, but gdi I will not stand for historical inaccuracy!

I'd read this, initially, as it was coming out, and it was...decent. But read all in a chunk? The book takes on new shades and becomes positively excellent. Highly recommended.

Loved this book. Great interplay between the two leads. Jason Aaron is a can't miss.

Some stories are just for fun, y’know? And this one, about Spider-man and Wolverine getting punted around time and landing in different eras from the pre-apocalyptic Cretaceous to the post-apocalyptic future, is one of those stories. It’s silly and fun and ludicrous and, just a little bit, heartfelt. I liked it a lot.

It’s a stand-alone story, not dissimilar from Marvel’s “What If?” tales, so you don’t have to worry about continuity, although it does appear to be set in the main... er, timeline, of the Marvel universe. But the time travel aspect means you don’t need to know anything other than who the main characters are.

I got this one digitally on sale, and thought it'd be interesting to see some favourite characters meet up. Truthfully, while the art was cool, I was a bit underwhelmed - the antagonistic dynamic of the two main characters was never explained in a way that was satisfactory, their character development over a pretty massive time frame was a bit thin, and a month or two after having read it I couldn't tell you how the story was resolved at all. Had some good comedic moments, and again, some good art, but I didn't love it overall.

They had to ruin a perfectly good Time Travel adventure with the unforgivable inclusion of Mojo! They got me good.

To me, it was probably the worst comic I've ever read! God there was not a thing that I liked or even appreciated. It was full of "what the fuck am I reading ?". Spidey and Wolverine are seriously not a good match and I will not continue with this series or any other stories with Logan as the main character.
Didn't work for me, might go back to DC they do better stuff...
