This is the new, weekly, comic on Marvel Unlimited.
The first story is by Hickman and Declan Shalvey, it’s presented in a vertical format, suitable for scrolling down on a phone.
Wolverine (who he?) breaks into an A.I.M. Space station to rescue three mutants kidnapped from Sword Peak.
He goes through the station like a dose of salts, gets blown up, drinks someone’s beer, tussles with a MODOK A.I. And rescues his first mutant.
There are two things Logan looks at with such longing. One is beer.

The other is his best friend.

So Kurt and Logan go looking for the other missing mutants. They find one, Jono/Chamber. But the other eludes them and is still in A.I.M’s hands.
This is a
fun romp, not particularly deep.
We don’t know what MODOK wanted the mutants for, one was a decoy, the others were for A.I.M to experiment on.
There were other mutant holding pods where the third (female) missing mutant was taken.
There’s quite a lot of (dark) humour and an incredibly high body count. Not that it’s unusual in a Wolverine slugfest but he and Jono did murder multiple A.I.M goons in front of a member of the Quiet Council, not that You can see Kurt having him thrown in The Pit, so I’m assuming Kill No Man *some exceptions do apply* is in play.
I think this story is over for now and will be picked up further down the line.
Because I am shallow, I will admit that my interest only engaged when Kurt turned out to be the mutant Logan was so diligently tracking down, but the new vertical format is interesting and Shalvey makes the most if it with lots of long, long falls and lifts and the like.
