No es que de momento esto sea algo realmente destacable. Pero está claro que Chris Claremont es uno de los grandes autores de Marvel y sabe mantener ciertos puntos de interés (tirando a lo clásico y en cierto modo cliché pero con encanto) en cualquiera de su premisa. Si aquí Lobezno se encuentra en una situación de vulnerabilidad total... ¿Qué pasará si le ocurre a otro héroe cuyas super virtudes físicas es en lo que se basa su perfil superheroíco?... Pues que quedará confiar en unos talentos menos morales... Pero en un lugar como Madripoor. Esto será lo que decida su suerte y su vida.

I liked this issue better than #1. The vintage style artwork, the story, the plot twists, it was more of a complete experience in this issue.
