Basically, X-Men Zukunft ist Vergangenheit, aber geilster Zeichenstil

It was fun to see Wolverine in a Nihei universe. Love the title Snikt because we get what he initially did with Blame! Before it got the name we know. But what’s most impressive about this comic, is that we get a point of view that may help understand what’s missing in Marvel and DC.

This story does an excellent job at placing a character we’re familiar with, and putting him to use in a story to drive the plot forward. You can feel how Wolverine has a purpose in this story. In Nihei fashion, the comic feels open to interpretation. Do the people beat the enemy for good?

In all, this is a great story that could get 5 stars if it had a couple more chapters, not to close it out, or make it less interpretative, but to let us fall deeper into this cyberpunk universe, and immerse us in the despair of the universe before Wolverine shows up. Maybe to allow a better reason to not just get adimatium somewhere else, or to blame the mechanics of time travel lol…

The art is also amazing, and very Nihei. If no one told me this was his book, I could know from the art alone.

Worth checking out for the amazing art, but the story has little substance. It's like they had a really cool Terminator-esque movie idea with all this great character and world-building, but dropped Wolverine right into the climax with minimal build up and context.

It's not bad but it's very fast piece.
