Wolverine and the X-Men # 8 Spoilers - Beast versus Sabretooth

Wolverine and the X-Men # 8 Spoilers featuring the battle between Beast and Sabretooth done by Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo.

and yes that is Wolverine in a wheelchair all because of the events from issue # 7 when Logan and Quintin Quire went to space to win some cash from an intergalactic casino.




In this issue, we get to see Wolverine suffering from the effects of the weapon that was used to contain him and Kid Omega. While Quire escaped unscathed, Logan wasn't so lucky.

While Beast flies off to space to get find a machine that can duplicate the machine that did this to Wolverine, Archangel skips class and brings along the rest of his classmates to go to the same casino where Quire and Logan encountered that weapon. 

When Hank reaches space he finds that the SWORD headquarters has been ransacked with most of the crew murdered in cold blood and his girlfriend Abigail Brand being held hostage by Sabretooth on orders from the kids of the new Hellfire Club.

I have to say that this has got to be one of the bloodiest fight that Beast has figured in. Its on the same level as that bloody, feral fight that Joss Whedon scripted in Astonishing X-Men.


Sadly, Beast gets beat up by Victor Creed and gets his guts spilled out.

Back with the Jean Grey youngsters, the kids enter the casino and fight their way to find out the location of the weapon.

This book is also awesome because of the way Kid Apocalypse aka Genesis gets to show just how much powerful he is.

So he's basically  got the powers of Cyclops and the elasticity of Mr. Fantastic. But I'm willing to bet that this is only the surface of Genesis. We did get to see Genesis in an alternate future where he managed to destroy the Jean Grey School together with Krakoa who is now officially part of the mansion. 

As for Beast? Well he and his girlfriend managed to give Sabretooth a run for his money and get a little payback for the massacre of the staff working for SWORD. 

Back in the school the students (Kid Omega, Broo the Brood, Oya, Kid Gladiator, Genesis, Archangel and Warbird) managed to return and hand over the weapon which can then be used for a way to get Logan back.
