It's been too long my friends, and we're finally back in the saddle! Of course there was only one way to properly bring the show back: discuss one of Tom Taylor's best comics with my Tom Taylor Cult comrades Alex Lavelle and Angela "Bones" Bullock. That comic is ALL-NEW WOLVERINE, which brings Laura Kinney into the role of the Wolverine, and pits her against evil corporations, Fin Fang Foom, possible futures, space viruses, fascism, and old foes. All this while trying to keep her family together and make sure they don't stab each other too often along the way.

Case Aiken makes his return to the show, and we're talking more Grant Morrison, along with a dose of Dan Mora; that's right, we're talking KLAUS: HOW SANTA CLAUS BEGAN! How best to describe this 7 issue series? Think the origins of Santa Claus, told as a 17th century shamanic superhero. I know, it's even cooler than it sounds.
