To fit the premise of this run of Marvel Comics Presents, Wolverine has to fight a demon every decade with a witch and her descendants. The latter half of this story goes off the rails once it gets to later decades and Soule only kind of knows Wolverine's history. He forgets that Wolverine had amnesia throughout the Seventies and into the Aughts so he wouldn't know who this witch women is. Yes, it eventually turns into an Elseworlds story but the timeline doesn't really diverge until the 90's story. By the time Wolverine's daughter shows up, the story got to be really stupid. The last few issues diverged so much from Marvel history that they had no choice but to cop out and make this an alternate future story.

I was really enjoying this one until the . Seriously, Marvel; enough with this crap already!
Other than that, this was a pretty cool story with nice artwork. I wasn't overly enamoured with Wolverine's daughter's character design, but that's nit-picking.

Since the title here is, "The Daughter of Wolverine" I guess there aren't really spoilers if I talk about Rien.
Rien is the most interesting thing about this story. Most of the story apparently takes place in an alternate reality, and it is unclear whether Rien will remain in 616. Given what's going on in House of X and Powers of X right now, it's not even clear if the comics we are currently reading are even set in 616.
Wolverine just happens to be present when a demon who could destroy the world is unleashed. Through sheer happenstance, he gets roped into fighting that demon once every ten years. But this arrangement only lasts a couple decades before the witch he is partnered with decides to cut out the middleman and have Wolverine's daughter, figuring that the resulting offspring would combine her witch family's magic with Wolverine's fighting ability and healing factor. Hence, Rien.
I'm sick of Wolverine in general. He is one of my all-time least favorite characters, if not THE worst character, because of his overexposure. Also, he's just a feckin' murderer who for some reason is wildly popular, so his popularity overshadows the fact he would normally be considered a villain by most superhero standards.
Because of that Wolverine hatred, I'm a little tired of all the various Wolverine children who have cropped up in the last 10-15 years. We have Daken, Jimmy Hudson, X-23, this "Gabby" person, Raze, waaaay more in alternate realities (too many to list if we're counting "What if...?" titles), and now Rien. Rien counts more than the "What if...?" kids because the conclusion of this little miniseries suggests it is possible she now lives in 616. And we're inundated with Wolverine children just because of his damn constant popularity.
Best thing about her is that she is distantly related to Agatha Harkness, and therefore Nicholas Scratch and her other kids. Out of all possible women to breed Wolverine with, I can honestly say that Agatha Harkness never crossed my mind as a possibility.
The storyline itself is blah. Why did Wolverine just happen to be present for this demon summoning? The solution to their demon problems at the end of the story also relied upon an amazing stroke of luck. There was no genius involved here, just a confluence of circumstance.

a very unnecessary story....this was so mediocre. I'm glad they brought back Marvel Comics Presents but this story shouldn't have been made....we don't need another Wolverine type character...ugh

It was a fun read. Nothing amounts to anything and I'm not sure if the daughter continues to be alive. I did like how it was a real story and not just a quick gimmick. It did confuse me every time they talked about "the truth" which is an unkillable demon. It was very confusing if the demon was really killable or not and if there's any real reasoning behind it being unkillable.

I really enjoyed the first half of this book, the second half felt alittle rushed.
The background for the story was set up really well. You get to see all the battles where the truth comes to earth, just the final battle was a little rushed.
The part of the story dealing with rein was a bit rushed too. You see alot of her mother and grandmother, infact they get quit well developt. Its rein who seems to not get very develop. Rein was alot of the reason I got this book. So I was kinda disappointed she was really only in the end. Since I was looking forward to seeing a magic-user with a healing factor.
After rein shows up the story speeds up quit alot. Rein and others will one second say no "I wont do this", then immediately do the thing they said they would not do.
As a story focusing on wolverine past this was a really good. They wipe alot of it out with time manipulation through.
I would have liked this alot more if it was a few issues longer and flushed out Rein charater abit more. Maybe 12 issues in total would have made the ending better.
Overall I liked it, I hope we see more of rein.

2.5 stars and that's for the cool concept and the art. Quite disappointed with this title for two main reasons. 1, the title of the collected edition is a spoiler. 2, the last couple of issues just completely lose the plot. Would've liked more era spanning stuff, which I thought was the point of this!

Soule's time-spanning Wolverine story is a good idea and it does start to get some legs under it around issue 5, but then he has to rush to an ending. It's not really satisfying or all that interesting.

Um roteiro bem irregular, com erros e acertos. A arte varia bastante também.

That was... odd. I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm not as big a fan of Soule's writing (outside the superhero lawyer books) as I had thought? Idk. It's not bad it's just not nearly as amazing as I remember his She-Hulk run being. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm mildly curious if we'll see this character again? But not enough that I'd actively want her back? Which is about where my thoughts on this story as a whole sit. Fine, but ultimately likely meaningless.

Woof! This started out with a strange premise and a promise to be mediocre (at least), but it just got less interesting and more nonsensical each chapter along the way. I like Charles Soule as a writer, generally, but he should stay away from writing Wolverine. Also, Wolverine is really just not a good fit for stories involving magic and demons. Skip this one unless you can read it for free (as I did on Hoopla).

The story and art were ok. I'm ok with more of Wolverines children I just wish he was more like Bat-man where he takes his kids under his wing and works and trains with them. I think a team of highly trained Wolverines would be awesome!! Again this book was ok I do like Rein I hope to see her in the 616.

I want more of Reine. Can she become the next Spider Gwen to cross over into 616? To fight a demon, Wolverine needs a kid....related to Agatha Harkness. All the wolverine powers in the body of a sorceress.

Different interesting I wanted more!

Decent art and decent self contained story.

It was good until the attempted wrap up in hell. The ending was alright, though bears reminding that it is an alternative universe logan.

As much as I like Soule's work, I've yet to see what's point when I stumble into his Wolverine.
January 31, 2021
There were parts of this I really enjoyed but other parts were just annoying. So I give it a mixed review
April 18, 2021
Ummm, what!? Boy did this go off the rails fast. I liked the premise, but it got so weird at the end that I just started to whip through it to get it over with.

Good Story
Probably not canon but enjoyable nonetheless.
Hard not to enjoy a Wolverine story and this one is good even as a stand alone.

I think this graphic novel could have been good, but it was just too dark, gory and disturbing😱 for me. I was also disappointed with the ending😞. ~ 🐨🎮

Já conhecemos a Laura Kinney, a X-23. Já conhecemos Daken, o filho arredio de Wolverine. Já soubemos atavés de jason Aaron que Wolverine matou diversos de seus filhos sem saber. Agora é a vez de Charles Soule e alguns desenhistas brasileiros como Paulo Siqueira e Diógenes Neves apresentarem Rien - nada, em francês - a filha bruxa de Wolverine. Além de garras ela também possui poderes místicos e pode fazer portais de teleporte. Ela vem de uma família de ciganos cujo sobrenome se liga à personagem Agatha Harkness, coadjuvante do Quarteto Fantástico. A história é divertidinha, mas não parece ser uma história de Wolverine. Poderia ser uma história de qualquer personagem longevo da Marvel. Já os desenhos dos brasileiros Siqueira e Neves são bastante legais e conseguem nos transpor através da épocas e décadas. Wolverine atravessa todos esse tempo tentando defender a Terra de um monstro místico chamado A Verdade. Para completar o encadernado, dessas histórias que foram trazidas na última versão do volume Marvel Comics Presents, temos também a história Arma_exe, por uma equipe de criadores diferentes e que é uma histornha boba que nem vale a pena ser comentada. Este é um encadernado bem mediano. Vamos ver se Rien vai ser vista mais além nas histórias do baixinho peludo canadense invocado.
