DEPARTMENT H GOES HUNTING!
Canada's DEPARTMENT H has their sights trained once more on WOLVERINE! Years ago, they played a role in WEAPON X and LOGAN's first assignment, but what else are they hunting now that mutants are hated and feared more than ever? Meanwhile, Wolverine's UNLIKELY ALLY may have just killed an innocent...and OLD ENEMIES of Wolverine's gather as more sinister machinations unfurl... A key issue, as the ALL-NEW villain moving against Wolverine comes into sharper focus... RATED PARENTAL ADVISORY.
Rated T+
Wolverine's heart combined with his killer instincts (and sarcastic attitude) make him the loveable mutant he is. Wolverine #3 truly captured the strength that is Logan in both physicality and morals. All while never slowing down on the action, and setting up for an even more brutal showdown. Any and all Wolverine fans will want to add this story to their collection. SNIKT! Read Full Review
Wolverine #3 is an action-heavy but plot-thin issue that puts Wolverine in a three-way fight between Wendigo and Department H soldiers. Saladin Ahmed ticks all the boxes for a basic Wolverine fight, and the art from Martn Cccolo looks amazing. Read Full Review
This book was less than the sum of its parts in my opinion. The art was good, the writing was good, and yet I found myself mostly bored by it. So much time spent on Wolverine's interactions with the Wendigo dragged it down. I know it's just a personal preference thing, a kid wendigo who is struggling to retain some of his own mind sounds cool enough on paper, but I was just bored. I think I'll start enjoying this more with the next arc, with the gold tainted adamantium or whatever is going on there and Lady Deathstrike and Cypher. Wolverine has one of the best rogues galleries in my opinion, below Batman but above Spider-man (whose rogues I've always though were overrated beyond Green Goblin), and I like seeing someone other than Sabre more
I think the art suffers a little bit here. Also, the issue spends too much time on certain places, Ahmed really clears his vision on what the series is. Again it exemplifies what from the ashes does best, which is to present characters that feel like they have history, that constantly even when running from their trauma, they can't turn a blind eye to it.
As I have said I think we spent too much time on the fighting scenes and just moments that does not carry much weight and it felt a bit chaotic in that the characters popped left and right. Still, there is a charm to it, I like the free-flowing nature of the comics, it makes what happens way more real, unforced, and honestly, wolverine is like a glue to it all. He somehow makes more
Plot
Wolverine fights the Wendigo, but he escapes. Wolverine sees a wounded Department H soldier and heals him using his blood. He then tracks down the Wendigo and fights him, giving him a near-fatal wound and the young man inside the Wendigo begs for mercy and Wolverine knocks him out.
A Department H soldier follows them and Wolverine explains that Cyber was the one who killed the people. Wolverine takes the Wendigo away and explains that he must control his animal instincts so that he can stop being a monster.
In Japan, Cyber controls Lady Deathstrike with a golden liquid that binds to the adamantium in his nails, and Cyber is also all golden.
They arrive to hunt him down. They are h more
Eh. How a book with so much action can be boring is a mystery to me and now this speechless thing somehow got 5000 miles away to Japan? I guess I should just be glad Cyber was actually in THIS issue. Ahmed could have put in a short of him stowing away on a flight or boat or....SOMETHING last issue and done away with a page of Wolverine holding Wendigo's hand. Things just happen because the writer needs them to happen to progress his story I guess? IDK about this book. If it doesn't pick up soon I'll be dropping it.
