Claws of a Killer #1 is a rough n ready book uniting three of Logans greatest enemies on a quest to make Wolverine dead again. The characters have good and believable chemistry, the premise is sound, and the art of Butch Guice, Cam Smith, and Dan Brown looks fantastic. This one gets a recommendation. Give it a read.

A winning story, rock-solid characterization, and naturalistic visuals make Claws of a Killer #1 a real delight. While it's not a perfect comic, it's a very strong one both on its own and as part of the bigger Hunt for Wolverine plot. Our recommendation: Buy It for sure. Read Full Review

A good addition to the "Hunt for Wolverine" comics adding a villainous flair. Read Full Review

Overall this comic fits in with the rest in this series. If your really interested in all the mysteries surrounding Logan's return or if you are a fan of any of these villains then this comic is worth a read. If not then you could easily give it a miss. For myself, there are enough questions raised in this issue and the art is strong enough to raise the comic above being a money grab for Marvel. I'll be looking forward to issue #2 to read if Daken manages to escape the Zombies of Maybelle. Read Full Review

Overall, the mood of the issue is consistent throughout, sprinkling enough mystery, uncertainty, and emotional vitriol to build a story arc that will hopefully rise beyond its' by the numbers zombie plot reveal. Read Full Review

The fourth Hunt for Wolverine miniseries is possibly the most perplexing of the bunch. This issue begins with a drag, with neither the art nor the dialogue seeming very interesting. But without realizing, at some point smack in the middle of the book, things magically change. Read Full Review

elcome to the Oblivion Bar where the first round is on me and the pretzels are free! Be warned: like the pickled eggs at the bar, this issue is going to get SPOILED rotten.

So, this was a wee-bit confusing of a start for an issue BUT I think it is intentional. The story opens in a small town in Arizona of about 343 “where everybody knows your name..” but these folks aren’t glad that you came. And, their troubles aren’t all away. We are led to believe that Wolverine is working for some undercover killteam called Soteira.

It looks like Wolverine broke into an electric company, killed the worker, placed something green ( that kind of looked like an Infinity Gem) in some type of reactor, and set it off killing everyone in the town. Meanwhile, Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth, and Daken (Wolverine’s son) are going to work together to track Wolverine down and kill him.... again.... for good....

So, Lady Deathstrike has a satellite that can track the adamentum in Wolverine and it sends them to this town in Arizona where Wolverine and the killteam were. They split up to search the area for Wolverine and Daken walks into a bar to find a dozen people laying dead on the bar floor and two killteam members staring him down. Suddenly, the dead come back to life as zombies and started taking bites out of Daken. He realizes that his healing factor isn’t working and we end the issue with the dozen zombies devouring Daken on the floor.

My thoughts: I wasn’t expecting zombies. That was the farthest thing from my mind. The real question is, am I ok with it? Personally, I am BUT I’m not a Walking Dead, zombie apocalypse fan. So, some may find this idea over saturated. I don’t but only because I’m not too into zombie stuff.

Now, I am confused on whether or not Wolverine is working for this killteam or not. I feel like I’m supposed to think he is but then their going to pull the old switcharoo on me at the end. But who knows. Personally, if you read Tales of Suspense, it may be the similar situation to Black Widow. Meaning, I think he may be pretending to work with them to officially take down anyone still related to the Weapon X program. But, that’s just speculation.

So far, I’ve enjoying all of the “Hunt for Wolverine” books that have come out, except the one with Daredevil... but only because I can’t see the purpose of him and his team trying to find Wolverine.... at least not yet. That said, this team makes sense. Deathstrike, Sabretooth, and Daken are hunting for him to kill him. Therefore, I can get behind this. I’m digging it right now and plan on continuing through it. I’d add it to your pull list and I currently would put it right smack dab in the middle of the bar between Norm and Cliff (middle of your stack). I’m interested in continuing it but I currently find some other comics that are more interesting. But who knows, that may change.

The book starts off good with the main cast. It's only the first chapter, but Tamaki already seems to have a better voice for Yuriko & Creed than Pak has in 22 chapters of Weapon X. They sound like themselves, rather than the "hip" frat kids Pak seemed to be going for. Yuriko has called Sabretooth & Daken to discuss Wolverine. Daken is the wild card of the team it appears. He doesn't want to be there, doesn't trust Yuriko, and even releases his pheromones to threaten her on the off chance she's plotting to kill him. When they decide to work together, they drive to a ghost town. Daken insists Wolverine ins't there, because he doesn't smell him. Creed & Yuriko agree to look around since they're already there. Daken wanders off on his own, which leads him into trouble -to be continued. Sabretooth's characterization seems solid thus far. Unlike Weapon X, he's not bumbling comedy relief. He's also the one who seems to be keeping an eye on Daken, such as telling him to settle down & listen in the diner and taking the car keys when Daken doesn't wanna cooperate & help them search. Yuriko is the level-head. Daken is the more wild card, and Sabretooth is in the middle. So far, the characterization is enjoyable on every end, making me interested in the next installment. Hopefully the characterization will stick. more

Butch Guice’s art is spectacular and he draws Sabretooth perfectly. The story itself makes sense as Yukio, Daken, and Victor all naturally want Logan to be dead again. They go to a ghost town in Arizona, one previously populated but the residents were all exterminated by Logan. The people Logan killed come back to life as zombies though, and attack Daken. Victor, Daken, and Yukio fighting off a horde of zombies seems like a glorious and violent mess, zombies are an extremely generic threat and they seem to have little to do with the search for Logan

This dense introduction to the villainous Logan-hunting party delivers some welcome attention to the Soteira Group, the bigger bads who have possession of Logan right now. While the nasty characterization of the protagonists is refreshing, it clashes with the "dirty-faced angels" treatment they're getting in other titles (Daken in X-Men Blue and Deathstrike and Sabretooth in Weapon X). The darker take shown here isn't deep enough to override the goodguy treatment; this just muddies the waters. This issue also has some visual problems: the marvelously real faces are great in individual panels but the progression from picture to picture is disjointed. This only gets worse as the story moves away from talking and toward fighting.
