" even if Logan is lost, the world still needs Wolverine"

I did come across Wendigo/Leonard in early issues of Saladin Ahmed's WOLVERINE...and here he is acting as a super hero to Vancouver.

His split from Logan still a little hazy..but we have seen Logan's role in this world and we need to see that righted.

This was a rough read. I have no hope that the next issue will b good.

2.5, really. And the only reason I'm rating this high is because the main character actually ISN'T Wolverine. I enjoy the novelty of an unrelated character, with an unrelated basis for his powers, functioning like a "sunnier" version of Wolverine.

Other than that, this is nothing special.

I really like seeing Leonard grown up and more in control. It’s such a fun setup for this miniseries! I wasn’t as big a fan of Ahmed’s writing here as I usually am though, I can’t quite put my finger on it but didn’t quite do it for me the way it usually does.

There might be a worthwhile story in here, but I can't read past the too-earnest "we're all do-gooders, aren't we just so nice" dialogue.

Better than I thought it would be. About the best I can say.

Spare me that, please. Poor little Wendigo is trying to carry on Wolvie’s legacy, having (once again) become a soulless killer. Kurt and his family are just there to add to the cheap drama.
The artwork’s rubbish to boot.

The Wendigo Wolverine is just a little too earnest. He comes across as a little cringe. I didn't even like his story when he couldn't talk. This crossover isn't for me. I would deem it skippable for the most part. The Simone X-Men book is decent.
