This second issue proves what I noted after Weapon Lost #1: this is far and away the best of the Hunt for Wolverine series of minis. Read Full Review

Two issues in, the series provides a solid read. Buffagni's art continues to evoke a sleek Soule's script uses classic noirnarrative conceits in a way that allows these characters to shine to the best of their personalities. Daredevil's paranoid and vigilant narration, the chemistry between former cops Knight and McGhee, and Cypher's dubious stability collide to invoke a book that would have fit nicely in the Marvel Knights line of old.

A good-looking book, but it's growing tiresome as it gets nowhere. Read Full Review

Welcome 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.

This issue opens with Frank, Misty, Daredevil, and Cypher trying to narrow down the list of Wolverine sitings from millions to just a couple. The team doesn’t want to give Cypher access to anymore technology or the internet because he’s basically addicted to it. So, they reluctantly give Cypher a phone and within seconds, he narrows the search down to the top manageable sitings.

They track Wolverine down to a Manhattan hospital where he delivered flowers to Jane Foster.... but was obviously long gone. They even find some of his other sitings like in Phoenix at the biker bar and in Chicago too. These parts were kind of neat because if you’ve been reading Marvel for the past 6-8 months, you’d remember the little sections at the end of some random issues where it would show Wolverine interacting with people for some random reason. Well, this is showing Daredevils team interacting with all of those situations. It was nice to seem them tie them together and weave it into their story. Great Easter eggs for the dedicated readers!

The team follows another lead to Saskatchewan where they heard a group of people calling in for help in a remote cabin. By the time Daredevil’s team arrives, everyone is dead but one woman who appears to be missing. So, Daredevil takes Misty and Frank with him and uses his abilities to track down Wolverine throughout the forrest. It works and Daredevil, Misty, and Frank are on his tail. However, Daredevil finally puts it together that Wolverine was playing them to take out their weakest link.... Cypher!

The team left Cypher back at the cabin alone. While Cypher was trying to swipe a phone from a dead body, Wolverine surprises him and slices his throat. We end the issue wondering what in the world has been going on with Wolverine? Many dead bodies have been turning up on his watch now. But why?

I am still personally confused as to why Daredevil, Frank, and Misty are teaming up. That part of this still doesn’t make sense to me. What do they gain by helping to find Wolverine? Sure, the X-men should try to find him. Sure, Iron Man should try to find him. Plus, I can get behind the Avengers connection too. But why Daredevil other than Soule is currently writing both?

All that said, the issue started off slow but once they got to Saskatchewan, it really picked up and became kind of exciting. Even before that when they were hunting for Wolverine in a few of the Easter Egg spots, I found that kind of interesting. This issue wasn’t action packed by any stretch but it held my interest enough that I will continue to the next issue mainly because of the end. I will be reading the next issue... but should you? If you have read them both so far, then I think you’ll continue on just like me. If you haven’t read them yet, I wouldn’t bother to be honest. It wouldn’t be good to hop in now unless you plan on reading the last issue first. But for me, I’m in for the next one. It just won’t be high on my priority list for the week.

A few false leads fill up space before the Detective Squad gets onto Logan's trail in a serious way. I like the core detective story, but I think it's padded for length and some of the padding - particularly "Cypher's internet addiction is just like a smack habit" - disagrees with me. The visual style is heavy, but it does great with dramatic moments.

Is Wolverine here? Nope. Is he over there? No. We got all this crazy research that gives us only a million leads, is that any help? Nuh-uh.

Well, did you look between the cushions?

I like Soule. He is a competent writer, but unfortunately he was given a garbage assignment. This is competently written garbage.
