Rated T+
Expect some great moments between Sabretooth and Kid Omega in an entertaining issue of Wolverine. With so many characters to check in on the plot doesn't progress too much, but it's all effectively building towards a major finale. Read Full Review
Wolverine #45 takes its time but by the end, Wolverine is finally on Krakoa face-to-face with Sabretooth. While it isnt quite what was expected, it does leave on a promising note. This issue marks the halfway point for the Sabretooth War, so there is still time to pay off on some promises and stick the landing. Read Full Review
After the first two issues, a big question regarding the "Sabretooth War" event was whether or not it could keep up its hyper-violent tone and quick pace. That answer turned out to be a resounding "no" as the cast has not only ballooned over the last two issues to include the Exiles but it has pulled back almost completely on its claim of being Wolverine's "most violent event."

Plot
Wolverine arrives to Krakoa to rescue Quentin, but getting to this place is dangerous because of all the Sentinels, on the other hand The Exiles also try to enter.
Sabretooth uses Quentin's head to search for a treasure in Forge's laboratory that will be the ultimate weapon against Wolverine.
Wolverine arrives but is controlled by Quentin's mental power that controls Sabretooth.
This installment lowers the accelerated narrative pace and violence that came with it to show a little of Sabretooth's plan.

It is very organic and full of textures which gives it a gloomy and very detailed tone.
Summary
Wolverine arrives at Krakoa while Sabretooth searches for the ultima more
Uh oh, we're only midway through this storyline and I'm losing interest fast. I understand that Marvel wanted to make this a big deal with it being the final storyline of the series and Sabretooth being the villain, but I think this probably should have been a shorter story. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I also think this was the worst issue of Sabretooth War so far. It's not bad or anything, but I feel like it's beginning to drag on just for the sake of getting to Issue #50.
this story is honestly kind of running out of juice right now.
Last issue, I was glad to have a break from the violence that started this whole Sabretooth War, but this issue really made me wish that some of that violence would return as this issue continues to set pieces in place. There's nothing really eventful or exciting that takes place in this issue, it mostly just seems to promise more interesting things for next issue rather than doing anything here.
Sabretooth is the main character in this issue, and while we do see the Exiles and Logan make appearances, the Exiles are left to accomplish nothing and Logan only appears at the end to set things up for the next issue. There's nothing of particular note that Sabretooth says or does with Kid Omega that hadn't been established previously more
