These situations aren't even slightly comparable...
It's not a masterpiece and it's not without flaws, but I loved it. Man, this grounded Logan without all these insane Marvel superhero stuff and etc was pretty much the reason I decided to come back to Wolverine for some time. I'm definitely looking for more stuff like this.
Collects Wolverine (2003) #1-19:
Waitresses, arms dealers, human traffickers, pregnant crime lords, bad dreams and feral female fighters can't stop Wolverine from carving his way to victory. And see Logan do what he does best against his archenemy, Sabretooth! Plus: the unsettling threats of Cry and Vapor!
That was good. It's not some groundbreaking and important story, but it was just some good writing with good artwork, which is always cool. Yeah, probably could be better. But maybe it was the best it was possible to get out of such Wolverine vs Mystique story. It's definitely better, than previous two story arcs that tried to be so important for Logan and ended up being just weird.
Collects Wolverine (2003) #62-65. Wolverine has just one thing on his mind: revenge. But who is the focus of his rage, and what dark secret does he share with them? And how far over the edge is Wolverine willing to go to get what he wants?
At first I thought it was going to be another dumb, but action-packed Wolverine vs Sabretooth story arc and with this artstyle I wasn't against that at all. But then... I don't know, this story didn't enrage me or anything. I see some people rated it much lower and I can see why. For me it was just a rather forgettable attempt to add something not necessary to Wolverine's lore. Ugh... Tons of poormore
Collects Wolverine (2003) #50-55. It's the biggest, best and, quite possibly, last battle between Wolverine and Sabretooth! These sworn foes have been locked in an endless grudge match that goes back longer than either can remember - or even imagine. The key to victory is eons old, and it's certain to rock their world.
Uh... Just like with the Enemy of the State - it's okay, but it could be much better. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but when I heard about Wolverine hunting Nitro for Stamford, in my head it felt much more intense. More personal, more... concentrated, if I make sense... I mean, there was a lot of odd elements and even if it makes sense for Atlantis to hunt Nitro, I still don't think it would lmore
Collects Wolverine #42-48. In the aftermath of the Stamford tragedy, Logan makes it his personal mission to take down the man responsible. No sooner does he begin his hunt, however, than he discovers someone else is stalking the same prey: a mysterious trio whose identity, and disturbing mission, will come as a shock to many! If Logan's unsettled ...
It's okay, but I think I heard about this arc much more, than I should have been. It's not great. Could be much better. There were tons of questionable decisions. And I do believe it would be better off as a limited series and not a part of ongoing series.
Collects Wolverine (2003) #20-32. Brainwashed by the ninjas of the Hand, Wolverine slices and dices his way through foes and friends alike, ultimately resulting in the death of an X-Man! Captured and reprogrammed, Wolverine is sent against his former masters - but amid an orgy of death and destruction, is even the fiercest mutant alive a match for ...
Finally a nice storyline, it still lingers in the past like previous arcs, but Aaron explores it in a nice, subtle way, unlike Loeb and Marc Guggenheim
GET MYSTIQUE PART 4
The quest for Mystique is over, and now the no-holds-barred face-off between her and Logan begins. Only one will walk away, but both will pay a price.

The quest for Mystique is over, and now the no-holds-barred face-off between her and Logan begins. Only one will walk away, but both will pay a price.
GET MYSTIQUE PART 3
Wolverine's mission has put him on the trail of the shapeshifter Mystique. In an effort to evade Logan, Mystique has chosen to hide among a group of American soldiers. Is Wolverine willing to cut them down to get to his prey?
GET MYSTIQUE PART 2
Wolverine's quest for vengeance continues, taking him from Afghanistan to the war-torn streets of Baghdad. With many innocent lives in the balance, can Wolverine justify the amount of collateral damage he may cause?
Finally a good artist! And a writer either! At first I wanted to rate it as 7.5, because it felt really weird for Logan to just kill an innocent woman and be with it. But the conclusion pretty much nailed it for me. For now it feels much more engaging than the previous arc. And to think, I thought it's going to be another boring and pointless adventure... Good to be wrong once in a while.
GET MYSTIQUE PART 1
In the wake of Messiah Complex, Wolverine is on a mission of vengeance! But who is the focus of his rage, and what dark secret does he share with them? And how far over the edge is Wolverine willing to go to get what he wants?
Such a mess of weird ideas...
LOGAN DIES PART 5
This is it. The final chapter! Logan battles Scimitar, Shogun and Lord Shingen for his very soul!
At this point it's typical Marvel
LOGAN DIES PART 4
Years ago, Logan was resurrected by the Hand. Revisiting the memories of that moment for the first time, he discovers that Shogun was there from the very beginning. What do Shogun and Scimitar have in store for Wolverine?
This was quick and too easy.
Wolverine's dead! And if he's going to have any chance at life, he's going to have to kill... Wolverine?! The battle of Logan's life -- literally -- is brought to you by the critically-acclaimed team of Marc Guggenheim and Howard Chaykin.
Uh... Okay, not bad, but the very idea is... weird. It feels insanely far-fetched.
LOGAN DIES PART 2
While Logan remains in a comatose state after his battle with Shogun, Dr. Strange must delve deep into the mystical realms to retrieve his soul. A new and frightful enemy is revealed!
Not good. The art is also weird. Chaykin could do much better.
Logan Dies, Part 1
Follow Logan from his first battle in WW1 to his covert missions in Iraq and watch him combat a shadowy group over the course of generations!
It was cool. A bit random, but much better, than the previous arc anyway.
Wendell Rayfield's new job involves a large machine gun, a hole in the ground, Wolverine and several thousand bullets. We all know what damage Logan can do with his claws, but how dangerous can he be when all he can do is talk?
Completely unnecessary, amazing how marvel fucked Wolverine and Spider-Man at the same time, I'm honestly amazed how they fucked up their biggest characters at the same time.
It's time for the final round in Wolverine's decades-long grudge match with Sabretooth -- and this time only one of them is walking away. Get ready for one of the most eye-popping endings in Marvel history, True Believer!
Not bad. But it would be better if the Romulus situation was elaborated. And if this Sabretooth wasn't retconned to be a random clone later.
It's time for the final round in Wolverine's decades-long grudge match with Sabretooth -- and this time only one of them is walking away. Get ready for one of the most eye-popping endings in Marvel history, True Believer!
Time for retcons...
Ever wonder why Wolverine and Sabretooth just can't get along? The reason cuts deeper than you think, True Believer. Much deeper. And this time, one of them isn't walking away.
I don't know... Feels kinda nonsensical at this point.
Wolverine and Sabretooth's stalemate is about to end. For real. The key to victory is eons old, and one of them is about to find it. It's gonna be bloody.
I'm not liking the direction this is headed
In the battle between Wolverine and Sabretooth, the key to victory is eons old, and it's certain to rock their world. The first clue to understanding it lies in the fabled kingdom of Wakanda, home of the Black Panther and Storm.
Uh.... It feels rather poorly connected... Very poorly... I think Loeb lost me here.

Okay, I feel like it takes longer, than needed without anything really happening.
It's time for round two between Wolverine and Sabretooth -- at thirty thousand feet. As Logan and Creed continue to up the ante on their latest death match, a third party lurks outside the ring.
Wolverine casually pulling up to the X Mansion and fucking up Sabretooth just for the sake of it.2007 loeb writing is suspicious to say the least
It's the biggest, best and, quite possibly, last battle between Wolverine and Sabretooth! These sworn foes have been locked in an endless grudge match that goes back longer than either can remember -- or even imagine.
I don't know, pretty much typical Wolverine. I'm rewatching X-Men the animated series and there was a similar scene in one of the first episodes.
The first story is just Wolverine vs Sabretooth again, which is always cool, especially with this new artist. The art isn't perfect, but the coloring makes it much better. I like it! There's also a small flashback Wolverine vs Hulk story, but with a sudden reference to Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk. Oh man... It's really random, but I love it. McGuinness knew how to draw Hulk. I love to see pre Hulk more
It's the biggest, best and, quite possibly, last battle between Wolverine and Sabretooth! These sworn foes have been locked in an endless grudge match that goes back longer than either can remember -- or even imagine.
It's... A bit weird story... It's a debut Marvel work for both the writer and the artist, so... I think it makes sense it might feel weird at times. But overall it was a rather fine Christmas story.
It's Christmas Eve, and a heavily armed suicide cult-clad in elf outfits-has taken hostage a mid-Manhattan department store and is threatening to blow the place sky high. Among the shoppers: Logan, who's just itching for a fight.
It wasn't bad, but I think it would be better if these moments were shown right away and not in this flashback issue...
CIVIL WAR EPILOGUE!
Logan's survived a plane crash, near-decapitation and being burned alive. The question is... HOW? In this epilogue to Civil War tie-in arc, the answers start to unfold. Logan's newest mystery begins here.
