Scott K. Reese Comic Reviews

Simone Bianchi art is the saving grace of this book. His illustrations are so original and his panel structure so different that it helps make up for the story. The fights between Wolverine and Sabretooth are incredibly brutal and are so visceral they seem to leap of the page. However, despite the wonderful art the story will leave most readers feeling burned and some will drop the series before the big secret is revealed.

Bachalos art however is a different case. While I do like Bachalos stylized art his panels become very muddy. Some of his lines are too thick and detail gets left behind in wide shots. It seems the only way that to really see what is going on is in an extreme close-up. If he could reign in the style just a little bit he could definitely be a top tier artist.

It is truly amazing what a fresh set of eyes can do for a seemingly out of date character. If Marvel decides to go with an ongoing for Dr. Strange they better make sure these men are behind the wheel.
