Parental Advisory
Hunt for Wolverine: Claws of a Killer #4 is probably the strongest end to a HfW series that weve seen so far. Its subtle, intense, and compelling. The art is gorgeous, and the book earns itself a recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review
The issue begins with Sabretooth and Deathstrike caught in their own personal battles. Graydon Creed, human son of Sabretooth and founder hate-ground The Friends of Humanity,returns while Deathstrike fights against her own father. Sabretooth, eager to abuse his hatemonger zombie son once more, takes more of a beating than expected, but prevails with the help of Deathstrike. He blames her for leading them into this trap, and he is well justified. Upon her own battle with her Soteira controlled father, she learns that the adamantium signal that led her to Arizona belongs to him and not Logan. In the ensuing battle, Deathstrike is unable to hold out for long without a healing factor and loses her hand at the blade of her own father. Read Full Review
With a breezy "whoosh" of decompression, Claws of a Killer whispers to a close with more gritty but generic zombie fighting. This series suffered from a fundamental mismatch between creative talent and intent. Mariko Tamaki and Butch Guice are great creators. There's nothing wrong with "three violent anti-heroes chop up zombies" as a premise for a miniseries. That premise and these creators combine like oil and water, though. It goes down in our logbook as one strong issue followed by three extremely skippable ones. Read Full Review
Worst of all, unlike the other "Hunt for Wolverine" series, Claws of a Killer concludes with an utterly anti-climactic ending, making you feel like you've seriously wasted your time over the last four issues. Read Full Review
This series has served absolutely no purpose beyond stretching out tepid action scenes and leading the reader on. Read Full Review
Sabretooth and Deathstrike just barely escape, leaving behind a dead Daken and drawing some strongly mistaken conclusions about the Soteira organization. This was a very subtle comic in both words and art, and that's a poor tonal fit for an "antiheroes versus zombietown" premise. I have great respect for the creators but I feel their talents were mostly wasted on this particular story.
Probably one of the most pointless comics I’ve ever read.
Well that was completely and utterly pointless. Colour me shocked.
