Parental Advisory
The Hunt for Wolverine series has brought every Wolverine clone, ally, lover, frienemy, android, and admirer in the universe. As all of the series loom toward completion, one can only hope that the return of the real Logan comes with some tidying of the Wolvie-family tree. Read Full Review
Claws of a Killer shambles onward like the zombies it features: slow, cold, and ugly. Though there's a reasonable argument to be made that that feeling is intentional, this series shows how dangerous it is to chase an unpleasant tone without offering readers something compelling to offset it. Our recommendation comes down firmly on: Skip It. Read Full Review
This mix of X-Men and zombies had a solid start, but issue #3 marked a steep decline for the miniseries. Read Full Review
This issue barely progresses things and is easily skippable. Read Full Review
I tricky one. The first issue was very nice, imo. But issue 2 marked a huge dip in quality. This issue improves and moves things back up, but it still has its flaws.
The biggest flaw is the story really feels like filler. Nothing really seems to be happening, and it seems the series is filler with wheels spinning until the next book Dead Ends, which seems to hint these hunts are all for not. Also, the complaints on Creed's characterization are still seen here a bit. The last chapter depicted him as an utter coward. When he founds out about the Zombies, he freaks and starts trying to run and leave everyone. However, in Mary Shelley Overdrive, Creed faced Zombie soldiers and was not the least scared. He wasted no time ripping thro more
Comics: The Gathering - Charles Martin's comments nail the problems with this.
The plot does not advance at all and this series is just so being. Yes, a series about Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, and Daken is somehow boring. Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike dynamic is the only good part of the issue. Sabretooth doesn’t even act like himself and acts scared instead of animal like when the zombie attacks him
Daken, Deathstrike, and Sabretooth have a surprising amount of trouble surviving Zombietown USA. The plot is fundamentally sound but the storytelling skills used to flesh it out are sorely lacking. The stiff, disjointed visuals make a hash of the action scenes. They're matched by dialogue with a lot of logical gaps; the words take the promise of the plot and render it confusing in all the wrong ways. This is profoundly unsatisfying both as a standalone comic and as a chapter in the miniseries.
