Reviews

[Rob Marney · Rating 2 out of 5]

Purely for 90s art fans. Hama tries something interesting with Wolverine saying goodbye to everyone before giving in to the beast within, but that just can't happen in your solo title when half a dozen other writers want to use you in their book. So we get the truly lame saga of Noseless Bonerine, mixed in with some stylish minis by people like Tim Sale. Adam Kubert takes every opportunity to make a cool splash page, but unless you like Hama's gonzo dialogue like "Let's go to claw city!" all the plot in this volume will be wince inducing.
