Wolverine: Three Months to Die, Book 1 by Paul Cornell, Ryan Stegman
2.0
Despite the "Book One" on the cover, and the fact that this collects issues 1-7 of yet another Wolverine reboot, this is a terrible place to start reding a story. This is actually just the fallout from Killable, and it has everyone's not-quite-favorite omnipresent killing machine acting out of character for the billionth time. This time, he's undercover for SHIELD, hanging out with bad guys so that he can eventually kill ... seriously, we're doing another Sabretooth story ? Ugh.
The plot is paper thin, but somewhat enhanced by Cornell telling the story with a series of flashbacks instead of letting the dull story unfold in a linear fashion. I also can't be bothered to care about any of the new characters introduced in this volume, although I do enjoy the joke about The Offer realizing he picked a lousy name. Oh, and the use of Superior Spider-Man was easily the smartest and most well-thought-out interaction in this entire book.
The weakest point in the volume, though, is the Wolverine/Kitty Pryde scene. Ooof, it's bad. Everyone is acting out of character, which is interesting because the Wolverine/Jubilee scene is fine.
This is an entirely skippable book. It's not terrible, it's just superfluous and doesn't add much to the X-Universe.
