This is a really solid graphic novel tie-in to the TV show. My only gripe is with one panel that made me deeply uncomfortable: the very much adult Wolverine thinks about how beautiful teenage and in distress Jean Grey is
I know they have a relationship in the comics, but that’s when they’re both very much adults. I don’t hold it against Wolverine, as it felt very out of character to me. This unfortunately seems to be a case of the author having a fairly messed up view of adult/teenage relations.
As much as this one panel did make me uncomfortable. I want to stress that it is *one* panel. The rest of the comic is quite good. And this author’s questionable perspectives aren’t seen again.
