But will the Watchtower prove too morally questionable for even the Merc? The beginnings of the hit Major X series can be found in these classic stories!
Rated T+
If youre a fan of Rob Liefeld and Major X, this issue should be in your collection. It loosely fits with the rest of the storyline, and $5.00 for 60 pages actually is not that bad these days. However, the stories are flawed in a way that feels like they were created and saved in the 90s for a future era. As such, it is remarkably bizarre and tries to market itself off Liefelds name alone. And thats just not enough anymore. Read Full Review
Theres just not enough fresh story here to justify the over-sized issue. Read Full Review
There is a cool tester between the story and how Major X got his weapon, but that's just not enough to make this a must read. Read Full Review
The worst part of this issue was the new material because Rob Liefeld can't write well at all. The two Wolverine issues that were reprinted were better. Probably because Liefeld didn't write the scripts. Still, this was a glorified reprint and incredibly pointless. But I guess I didn't hate the two Wolverine issues that much. Deadpool was there and he was written pretty well.
Spoiler Alert!!
Aren't #0 issues supposed to be the origin is the character? This is origin of his sword. I guess Liefeld wanted to write a Wolverine story, or tie Wolverine into Major X.
The art panels are inconsistent. Where Wolverine is fighting Deadpool & a group of bad guys. But some how the bad guys disappeared and only fighting Deadpool. And then there all back at the end of the fight. Then some how Logan's in a bar... What the hell!!!
I can't get passed how Wolverine then gets ready to fight someone by putting on his mask. And turn the page Wolverines jumping at the guy to start the fight, BUT WAIT... Where the hell did his mask go????
I was so confused, I thought I skipped a page or not. more
Eight pages of new content wrapped around a pair of nigh-meaningless Wolverine issues from 2000. Direct comparison just shows that Mr. Liefeld's storytelling skills have stagnated or even regressed in 19 years.
