Hello, and welcome to First Issues. Now. The Weekly Show
2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:07.280
posts a daily ish about only the newest first issues
3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:11.519
released by insert comic company. Here this week, I'll be
4
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.160
looking at the comics release for the week of October eighth,
5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.519
twenty twenty five. Here we go, my main Wolverine gal
6
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.440
getting her own book, even if she's now Sabertooth in
7
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.320
this timeline. God damn, they'll try to make her anything
8
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.519
but Wolverine any more, won't they. Yes, this is a joke,
9
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.679
only a joke. Anyways, let's hear it for Laura Kenny.
10
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:36.799
Sabretooth number one written by Erika Schultz, art by Valentina Pinty,
11
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.039
colors by Michelle Rosenberg, with letters by Cory Pettit the
12
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:46.960
all new Sabretooth X years later. Yes, I know, it's
13
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.399
a decade. She's taken the name of once bitter enemy
14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:55.640
Sabretooth and fights beside Revelation himself. Why did Laura Kenny
15
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.719
abandon her legacy? What secrets does she keep from her
16
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:04.920
mutant world? When loyalty changes, blood means everything. So the
17
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.519
answer is Laura's sides with Revelation because he's totally protecting
18
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.439
all mutants, even the ones he doesn't agree with Laura
19
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.280
wouldn't believe that, not after everything. However, things do seem
20
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.959
a bit muddled since she apparently had a kid with
21
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.000
Zane Creed, who is why she took the mantle of
22
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.280
Sabretooth because he's dead and he was Sabertooth after his father.
23
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.159
The whole plot of this issue is that she wants
24
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.359
Gabby and Aki to take her kid to wherever they're going.
25
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.000
Gabby is Honeybadger and Aki is Helverine. I have not
26
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.200
really been reading any of those. But this plot then
27
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.040
leads to Revelation and finding out about this because Helen
28
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.640
saw them take the kid, and Revelation has his speech
29
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.799
about how dare someone want to leave his perfection because
30
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.840
he gives everyone what they want and Laura should trust
31
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.239
him for a while. Else would she not want her
32
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.400
son to grow up with her because he's amazing? Oh
33
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.439
and then she kills Helen at the end. Maybe I
34
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.560
went into this book with the wrong mindset. Laura as
35
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.400
saber Tooth not a bad idea. Laura with a kid.
36
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.199
It's the future. I'm shocked we're not actually seeing a
37
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.240
lot more legacy kids, honestly, but I think the issue
38
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.120
I have here is that this is really it really
39
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.759
feels like it came out at the wrong time. It's
40
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.319
great that we get Laura narrating, especially when the book
41
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.759
begins with Abby and Aki meeting up with her for
42
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.080
the reveal of her really cool costume and her son,
43
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.759
but it feels very handwavy that she's on Revelations side
44
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.439
with very little pushback outside of Gabby being really mad
45
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.759
at her for being on his side while Aki is
46
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.439
trying to keep the peace between them. This is one
47
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.400
of those things where it feels very stale. I mean,
48
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.960
Gabby and Laura both being at each other's throat could
49
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.759
be compelling, especially with how angry Gabby is at her,
50
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.439
but when it comes off like there's no real stakes
51
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.439
to it, and honestly, maybe that's it. It's the same
52
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:04.879
thing I felt with the Binary book, except I also
53
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.319
felt like except I also do feel like I really
54
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.800
want to know more about the Wolverine camp because this
55
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.199
is more of a Wolfe fam book than just a
56
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.080
straight Laura book. It'd be interesting if the pages were
57
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.280
raither focused on showing Laura giving up her son with
58
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.000
the emotion there, or if it focused on Gambi and
59
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.599
Aki as they were trying to escape with Laura's son,
60
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.560
maybe while being hunted by Laura through the woods, even
61
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.240
though she wants them to escape, but she can't because
62
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.599
revelation's right there, and we'd get this really cool dichotomy.
63
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.759
But honestly, there's just no real dangers that we're seeing
64
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.840
this early on in the event or in this comic
65
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.599
where it feels like we're at the give my son
66
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:48.919
to my clone and demon possessed dude to make sense. Yet, However,
67
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.080
with that said, I do actually still find this book
68
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.800
to be decent, and I really do like the art.
69
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.840
It's good, clean art. So my verdict for this book
70
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.120
is read it. Read it means that I'm split on
71
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.840
my own mind about the book, So you should absolutely,
72
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.120
at the very least pick this up and read it
73
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.840
for yourselves. You may read it and want to add
74
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.639
it to your pull lister, wait for the Trade to
75
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.160
see where everything else goes, or just forget it exists.
76
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.000
Who's to say not me, although I will probably check
77
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.720
this out after the Trade comes out, just because I
78
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.439
want to know more. But this is not giving it
79
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.920
to me in the dosage that I need. But maybe
80
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.199
I'm wrong let me know what your thoughts of this
81
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.920
