Comic reviews for the week of 12/21/11

Hot pick of the Week: Wolverine and the X-Men #3 Regenesis (Marvel Comics) Jason Aaron Writer/Chris Bachalo Pencils/Tim Townsend Inks
 
   Three issues in and it has only graced the top spot in two of those three months. It is not easy to do that in any review column in and genre. The last time an X-title of this caliber came out it was the 90's and that book was called Generation-X. Matter of a fact, one of this books creative team was a part of that launch, Chris Bachalo. Add Jason Aaron's gift for comic gab and you have a stallion coming out the gate. Can not wait to see the direction this book goes in, it a true winner.
