Adam reviewed X Lives Of Wolverine #1 Apr 10, 2022
8.0

I love Omega Red. And having a storyline that involves him time-hopping through Wolverines life is a cool concept. The first issue didn't blow me away, but you can see the foundations of a great story to come.

1.5

Incoherent and boring. A vampire is dug up by a doofus, then, bad writing mixed with excessive paneling means I didn't take much away from the rest of the book. The only reason this doesn't get a 1/10 is because Cowboys Vs Aliens exists. If you want a good vampire story, read REDNECK.

A letdown. I was expecting a Thor or Venom-type romp. Instead, it is a book that has some interesting ideas (Starship Hulk), but each sparse issue reads in two-seconds to the books detriment.
