Demarcoa's Profile

Somehow even worse. Honestly a bit of a painful read. The connections between the flashback story and the present day fight feel threadbare. The ending is so unsatisfying too. Logan just tosses Bucky away and walks off. That's it.

If this was just a dumb Hulkified Bucky Barnes as Captain America vs Hulkified Wolverine, I'd be having fun. The art really is cool. But there's a dumb flashback story that borders on torture porn and takes up way too much space without much purpose. Overall it's not a fun read.

The second story feels even more pointless and dumb which is a shame because Monica Rambeau is in it.

Not great but serviceable for what it is intended to be, which is a jumping on point for new fans. There's some really iconic art in this issue at least.

Checchetto's art continues to impress. The story is whatever but at least this issue is bloody and looks cool when X-23 and Daken are killing together. There's a certain haunting beauty to this that Wolverine comics could use more of.

I like the cover. Loved Laura's thoughts as she is almost experimented on again. It's all so sad and makes her violent escape that much more cathartic. Some weird dialogue between Laura and Daken about Romulus but otherwise this is quite fun.

Loved the art, but this issue is a little underwhelming after Collision's explosive start in the X-23 series. At least Gambit and X-23 have a lotof cool moments this issue. Daken still seems like a chump in his own series, which is funny because he was fine over on the X-23 side of things.

A pretty cool start to the crossover. X-23 and Gambit are hunting Daken but before they can confront him they stumble onto some sort of kidnapping ring. I'd be miffed at the delayed focus of the story but this was sufficiently executed with good art and writing such that I have faith even if it made things feel a little slow-moving up until when that fight finally happens. It is good once we ge t there, though. I liked seeing Madripoor with this art team and was pleased to have Tyger show up. This story ties into the stuff going on with Daken nicely.more

Well, after an arc kind of hyping him up, I found Dreadshadow's story quite underwhelming. The idea of Spider-Man saving a villain's life only for that villain to go on and harm someone else is interesting, but it feels like a lot to put the blame of the villain's actions on Peter. It could have been interesting but we dump the whole idea on this one single issue and it makes a lot of the past s tuff again feel like a distraction from the deeper story about Peter and Theresa's parents. Even then, it feels like that issue was resolved way too easily. Also, I don't really understand how Logan was supposed to survive a Muramasa bullet. So dumb.

At least the art is cool.more

I liked the first few issues, but as focused shifts to this Dreadshadow villain, I'm a little less impressed. There's an interesting story here with Peter's parents and I feel like we are getting distracted away from that. I do like the ending with Theresa's surprise entrance, at least.

Another really strong issue. The Savage Land is great and the writing does a good job showing Peter and Logan come to terms with everything they've just learned. The humour is back but I actually found it charming this time.

A very raw and emotional comic for Peter Parker. Very strong art and writing overall. The writing in particular improves from last issue as we drop all the tacky jokey lines and deal with something serious.

That was one well of an opening. Some of the writing is quite silly but at least that kind of fits the tone of Spider-Man. It's a little sad to see how little has changed for these two characters, though. Love the bit where the two get flashes of each others memories, and the villain duo of Omega Red and Kraven felt like classic superhero team-up stuff. That ending took me by surprise, but in a good way. In a world with lots of secret spies and assassins, it does make sense that Peter's parents would be lost to somebody we know, be it Wolverine, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, or any number of other options.more

This second issue is more of what I wanted out of a World War I Logan story. He's being Wolverine in the trenches and the art does a decent job living up to that idea. The story beyond the action is just so-so, though.

A flashback story looking at Logan's time in World War I. I love the art and how Quinones visualizes this time period. Story is more mid.

The arc has a lot of cool art to offer but not a lot of substance in the story department. I really got nothing out of this.

A step up from the last issue, to be sure. I thought the floating castle in the sky was pretty cool for a setting, at least. Logan's team of ex-lovers is something, I guess. I feel like I'm just waiting for each of these issues to end, though.

The art is truly beautiful on the first page but it gets kind of samey after a while. I'm not terribly invested in this story, it's pretty boring.

A competently made if slightly dialogue-heavy comic overall. I like the art quite a bit, the choice to occasionally depict characters in silhouette is quite effective. For something advertised as a jumping-in point they sure throw a lot of unexplained stuff at you. Elsa Bloodstone helps salvage things a bit.

This might very well be Sabretooth at his absolute lamest. This could have been a fun story at least on the level of something like Sabretooth War. Instead it doesn't hit at all outside of the last chat Logan has with Kitty at the end of this issue. I do like the bonus story at the end a little. A neat alternate take on the 2013 run.

Reading this just bums me out. This was supposed to be Logan's last hurrah before his death, huh?
