Lors d'une aventure sous-marine, Wolverine, Forge et Quentin Quire découvrent une terrible vérité sur l'île.

Reviews

[Shannon Appelcline · Rating 3 out of 5]

A mishmash of stories that's ultimately unsatisfying. That's largely because the major villain throughout all of this is Xeno, and they're unleashing a constant rush of faceless monstrosities to attack Krakoa, which is good on the body horror front, but not on the depth-of-characterization front.

Then, there's a Russian-focused plotline that barely makes sense and doesn't get a conclusion.

And then there's a cringeworthy couple of issues about Wolverine surfing.

[Matt J · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first 11 issues were so great I was prepared to give it a 5/5 but then it ends with some kind of awful Point Break homage starring Wolverine and his adamantium surfboard. I want to forget surfing Wolverine, but it’s just so stupid I don’t know how.
