Wolverine and a group of new students (and some old troublemakers) take a trip to the Savage Land. What could possibly go wrong, its just the Savage Land after all. Right?
Wrong.
Wolverine’s half brother Dog Logan decides that Wolverine needs to be taught a lesson. So he time travels over to where Logan is and creates a mess for his students.
The students are supposed to only have to deal with dinosaurs, not the robots and wild west cowboys and cavemen that Dog Logan drags into the Savage Land. Dog Logan then tries to take charge of the students but that doesn’t last for long.
Dog Logan’s story is really really sad honestly he’s definitely on the sympathetic villain tier for me. While he’s not doing the right thing it’s very clear where his motivations are coming from. There is a reason he is the way he is. Also warning for child abuse in Dog Logan’s backstory.
The kids are great as always. I’m so proud of Eye Boy, he’s really starting to come into his own and it’s great. Jia Jing is also fantastic and I love love love that she’s been given Kitty Pryde’s old codename (Sprite). Quentin trying to be a leader was great and it’s not exactly his fault that his plan didn’t work out.
I don’t like Glob Herman, he’s a dick. He harasses Evan about being Kid Apocalypse to the point he makes Evan cry. Evan is sweet and gentle and does not deserve. Then the fucker goes and runs off to join Hellfire Academy. So yeah, no love here for Glob Herman.
The little glimpse of the future I thought was great. I love seeing all these other kids. There’s Carmen Drake, who appears to be the child of Kitty and Bobby. There are a few other names mentioned but you don’t see them, Warren Worthington IV and Kubrick Quire. Warren and Quentin’s kids. Because you don’t see them you can’t tell who the other parents is. At least for Quentin we’re probably meant to assume Idie, but I prefer to think of Evan as the other parent. Cause Quentin is obvs a trans man.
In this future bit, we have Logan trying to stop what’s about to happen in the current time of the comics, likely to do with Idie joining the Hellfire Club at the very end of the book. Eye Man, talks Logan out of it though.
