Darevdevil Vs Wolverine in bright bold colors with Elektra's silhouette in the background. Not only that, issue 24 is one of my favorite covers of all time. It reads like a Long Halloween type story but, in my opinion anyway, is told better and is much darker. This story has everything, an evil/brainwashed Wolverine, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Elektra, The X-men, Wolverine fighting a great white shark and a crap-ton of death. The events of this book lead directly into Wolverine's decision to join the New Avengers along with Spider-man and Luke Cage. John Romita Jr and Mark Millar tell one of my favorite Wolverine stories ever. Wolverine 30 - Agent of SHIELD 5 (First Prints, Mark Millar, John Romita Jr. ![]()

Barnes makes an important claim that we cannot forge a dichotomy between the medical and social models of disability, and I agree with this.

And the heroine is almost as much of a mental wreck as he is, thanks to the three years she recently spent in detention, under suspicion because her old research partner went rogue. This is a science fiction romance with an unusual hero–his memory is erased every two days. It is a very fast read, with a bewildering, time-twisty final battle that I’m itching to reread.
