Wolverine (Vol 3) #62 writer: Jason Aaron artist: Ron Garney color artist: Jason Keith
Historical first meeting between Logan and Raven in Mexico, 1921.
#X-Men#Wolverine#Mystique#some hail Get Mystique as a super duper must-read story but while I appreciate the look back I find it... too simple#the bank robbery (pls that's not a heist) makes zero sense no matter who betrayed whom#there isn't even a real reason why Raven needs Logan and why she would set this complicated meeting up#not within the story not truly only in a longing subtext that doesn't work with Logan's final words in the end#and something that will forever bother me is how there is this 'rrrraaawwwwrrr you betrayed the X-Men'#yet nothing about the betrayal itself is even mentioned or her reason why#yes Mystique once again stabbed the X.Men in the back - she played the Reavers - she killed Sinister - and she was ready to KILL A BABY#come on she would have killed a baby the hyperviolence in this story isn't even needed to show how ruthless she is#the baby only survived because Hope just couldn't die that way but Mystique was ready to snuff her out#and for what? to save Rogue's life - it was all a Destiny-diary-long-con (once again)#and not mentioning that takes a layer away - even though it's so good when Logan calls out how none of her kids will save her#also Logan doesn't know that Rogue came soooooo close to killing Mystique herself#I just think Wolverine and Mystique should have had more interesting encounters but I do love this intro very much#I had to look something up and was reminded of the casual mass murdering (the first kill to frame Wolverine was the best one)
