Meet Laura Kinney, the All-New Wolverine!
Sweet! I have no clue what the X-Men are up to these days (didn’t even know the old Wolverine was dead, RIP�), but my first encounter with X-23 aka Laura Kinney aka the All-New Wolverine has been a pleasant surprise.
Centered on corporate clones trying to take down their evil masters, the plot is rather heavy on action and a bit on the generic side. It’s also more relevant today than ever before, though, looking at our own corporate masters' increasingly menacing reign of evil.
The pacing is crisp, the dialogue often funny: "What? Who needs a doorway to horrors in their living room? You couldn't hang a picture or something?" And last but not least, the story features some of the most winning and just plain awesome clones I have ever met - what's not to like?
I’d recommended All-New Wolverine: The Four Sisters to anyone looking for old-school superhero action with a heart (cloned or not), a sense of humor, and a great, convincing, strong, likable, slightly identity-confused female protagonist!

I was never as big a fan of Wolverine as some. I liked his grittiness, and darkness, but thought that a lot of his popularity was due to the fact that he was a superhero willing to kill which in the 70's-80's was a rare thing. Wolverine as a female is interesting. I wonder what it says about our times that Wolverine and Thor are now female and the lead character of both of the recent Star Wars movies are as well. I think it's pretty cool personally.
