WHAT DARK SECRET LIES BENEATH THE SURFACE?
The trail of Logan's body has led the New Avengers to a completely different mystery...one that will cast a long, dark shadow over the X-Men...
Parental Advisory
Action packed ending with emotional stakes and huge reveals. Read Full Review
While the ending itself comes across as a little abrupt, The Adamantium Agenda should be carte blanche to let Taylor and Silva work on whatever the hell they feel like next. Read Full Review
As the Hunt for Wolverine winds down, "Adamantium Agenda" like "Weapon Lost" before it, offers some fun, genre focused stories with fan-favorite lineups. The story structure of a "search" as the driving plot for these interconnected series allows for moments of character growth and sharp dialogue with plenty of room for big action panels from Silva.

Adamantium Agenda sputters across the finish line running on fumes. It manages to generate some interest in the final pages, but unfortunately, it's unflattering "who thought this belonged in the Hunt for Wolverine?" interest. This issue's destiny is to become a curious footnote on Laura Kinney's wiki page; as the conclusion to an independent story about a team of heroes looking for Wolverine, it's a bust. Our recommendation for Adamantium Agenda #4 lands firmly on skip it. Read Full Review
All in all, a boring conclusion and even more boring book. Read Full Review
I was actually pleasantly surprised with the final issue of this limited series. Taylor wrote the Tony and Logan flashbacks really well and Taylor understands Tony. The last page was pretty interesting that the X-Men have a sleeper agent, but the fact where Sarah is actually Laura’s genetic mother was kind of dumb because I thought it was implied she always was. Laura didn’t get enough panel time, especially since she should have been a major part of this event. Missing Bendis’ New Avengers too
This was good and had some good stuff going for it, but I think it ended way too abruptly, which kind of took it down a bit for me. Liked the thing with Tony though.
The Pseudo-Vengers do a little more fighting. Tony is tempted to not blow up Mr. Sinister's creepy DNA database, but recalling his key flashback conversation with Logan reminds him to do the right thing. Everybody retires to the Cage-Jones apartment for comic relief with Danny Rand and Tony rams a couple arbitrary revelations in at the last minute. One's a forced plot coupon for the Hunt for Wolverine, the other's a personal tidbit for Laura that just emphasizes how superfluous she was to this title. This issue features decent art and dialogue, but the way the whole present-day plot was Taylor-made (I'm not ashamed of the pun) to Teach Tony a Lesson is contrived and disappointing.
These Wolverine mini series compete amongs themselves to see which one is worst.
The revelations at the ending are intriguing, but did we have to endure 4 issues of a mediocre story to get thar? Really bad.
