Unfortunately, I've only read the book once so it is certain that I have missed much more than I have captured in this review. This is one of those books that should be read more than once to capture the depth of meaning. ![]() Miller shows and doesn't tell in a beautiful, poetic light. Miller ostensibly a poet cum novelist brings an artistic bright light on what in less skilled hands would be pedestrian and heavy-handed. The story, the reverberations, the impact, the undercurrents, the culture, the resentment, the simmering anger, the privilege, the inequities all of these things and more are percolating in communities. What happens is only the face or the cover. He showcases that what happens (the event) is not the story. It is such a simple tale and yet so complex in the moods and emotions evoked. There is very little doubt in my mind that Augustown is brilliant. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() May, trapped in an abusive marriage arranged by her parents, struggles to find freedom through her poetry, involvement in the women's suffrage movement, and yet another forbidden relationship, this one possibly more scandalous than the first.

This story jumps off of the end of Jonathan Hickman's Inferno storyline, and manages to hit some great character beats for Wolverine and his extended family as well as setting up some intriguing storylines going forward for Wolvie and Moira.

Collecting both five issue mini-series, X Lives & X Deaths of Wolverine is the next big stepping stone on the road for Krakoa, although you wouldn't know it from any of the marketing. ![]() |
