When the first issue arrived I looked at the cover and immediately thought I had made a mistake. Hideous. Luckily there was truth in advertising, as the story was just as stupid.
The premise is that Wolverine has taken over the job of running Professor Xavier's school. That is a good premise, which has promise. That said, the crux of the issue involves an inspection to make sure the school is safe for young mutants ... and it's all handled with comedy -- mostly of the slapstick variety.
Wow. That's all I can say. Wow.
Wolverine heading the school actually makes sense for his character, and it shows some good growth. Handling the situation as a comedy is a huge mistake. It really doesn't even make sense, and I doubt it will last all that long. I hope it won't last that long.
I may have issue two by now. (I think it's in my stack.) I'm in no rush to read it. I will, however, stick with it a few issues until I make the final decision on it. I think the premise has promise, so I'm willing to give it a chance. All it needs to do to fix the problems is get a new artist and writer team ... and keep Frank Miller away from it.
