Nice end to this four issue series. Feel as if the character has been given a backstory that will be important in the future. I have always thought the four issue limited series is a great way to test out a character; it gives the creative teams the ability to see if there is an audience out there. This version of Hellverine (H) is very interesting...would not be surprised to see more stories in the future. Now is the time to look at H first appearance: look at Ghost Rider #17 (2023) and Wolverine #36 (2023).
Satisfying conclusion to the fight started in the last issue, and a satisfying start to a new fight. Excellent characterization for Daken throughout and the art is, once again, fucking amazing. Thank you Raffaele Ienco for drawing this book so well.
