Pretty good. It was an interesting turn for the issue to stray away from the main plot for something more personal and intimate but it was definitely a nice one. It shows a bigger scope perhaps, but that remains to be seen. It ties well to some of the core issues of Wolverine and even the ideas set at the beginning of the issue when obviously this side plot was not introduced about cycles and being in a somewhat new place but still falling in those same old cycles and being slaves to nature on a verge of a twilight.
The story progresses quite well with Ahmed really helping those transitions with Logan's narration. The narration is good on another level too, as usual for Ahmed I guess at this point it's not so instinctual or off the dome, but it's constantly reminiscing and thinking so it paints the story how Logan interprets it, which is cool enough, plus it's tonally consistent and fits a more matured logan.And it's not heavy, not on words, nor themes or presentation. I feel like the atmosphere plays a fairly huge role too with the sun setting out and seeing a kid Wendigo losing himself in the lonely snowly forest. This could go in a lot of directions like how logan trying to be more human could backfire and be a reason for him to revert back to being a beast like with the Wendigo, but we'll see.
Combined with the art, the narration shows control over the pacing and pages and it's good. So yeah this is one good issue with enough progression, enough heart, enough introspection, enough surprises and a good atmosphere, for now a step up over Percy. more
