Wolverine<\/em> is all things to most people and in his long life has worn many hats; Avenger, Teacher, Protector, Punisher.<\/p>\n

As leader of covert black ops (and frequently wetworks) unit X-Force<\/strong> he was responsible for executing many maverick mutants but experiences misplaced guilt and shared responsibility for sparing reborn mutant nemesis Apocalypse<\/em> when he should by all rights have put down his kind’s ultimate foe\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Now that confused child of terrifying potential resides at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning <\/em>where even his fellow students find it hard to believe that love and a good education can overcome the legacy of death latent within the boy now called Evan<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Collecting issues #1-6 of Wolverine and the X-Men<\/strong> volume 2 (May – September 2014), this fast and furious saga finds the diminished mutant everyman abandoning his preferred role as trainer of the next generation in ‘Tomorrow Never Learns’<\/em> to drag old X-Force <\/strong>comrade Fantomex<\/em> back from a self-imposed exile of torture and unending combat\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

While he’s gone many of the latest class of students are undergoing a wave of communal angst prompted not just by Evan’s proximity and existence. Also adding to the tension is the chilling realisation that former fellow student Quentin \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Kid Omega\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Quire<\/em> has been revealed (by a batch of X-Men from the future) to be the destined host of supernal cosmic ravager the Phoenix <\/em>and by the simple, sobering fact that being an X-Man is tantamount to receiving a death sentence\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

As Logan returns with Fantomex the next crisis commences in ‘Storm Chasers’<\/em> as a global ad campaign co-opting the image of the Phoenix lures Quentin into a devious trap. The mind behind the Phoenix Corporation<\/em> has employed time-displaced warrior Faithful John<\/em> to psychically destabilise the already troubled Omega mutant and even the late arriving Storm<\/em> and Wolverine are unable to overcome the Tomorrow Soldier’s mental assaults and sheer physical prowess\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

In ‘True Believers’<\/em>, as John escapes the adult heroes and turns to attacking their school, Quentin is hotly debating his possible future with disciple of destruction Edan Younge<\/em> who worships the Phoenix and only wants to help the true host live up to his cataclysmic, universe-rending potential\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Happily Quentin’s feisty not-girlfriend Oya<\/em> is made of sterner stuff. With Wolverine out of action and whilst Quire brutally rebuffs Younge, she leads a squad of classmates against rampaging zealot John despite a wave psychic strikes which decimate the youthful defenders.<\/p>\n

Kid Omega uses the opportunity to run for unlikely help ‘In the Land of the Blind\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6’<\/em>, recruiting ideological opponents Cyclops<\/em> and his Extinction Team<\/em> to the battle, but even as Younge gloatingly discloses his ancient connections to the Phoenix to a dying Wolverine and hints of a hand guiding his own, Evan and the still traumatised Fantomex make their own off-kilter move on Faithful John in ‘Chekhov’s Gun’<\/em> before the shocking revelation of mastermind behind everything exposes the actual motivation behind the attacks in ‘A Fate Far Worse’<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Non-stop visceral action, smart characterisation, hilarious interplay and shocking suspense propel this explosive yarn from high-octane start to explosive finish and the frantic Fights ‘n’ Tights School Daze delights is complimented by a beautiful gallery of covers and variants by Asrar, Marte Gracia, Mark Brooks, Jenny Parks, Art Adams, Jorge Molina and Michael Del Mundo.<\/p>\n

Also upping the entertainment ante are added extras provided by of AR icon sections (Marvel Augmented Reality App) which give access to story bonuses once you download the code – for free – from marvel.com onto your smart-phone or Android-enabled tablet.<\/p>\n
