Stories collected in this issue:
"The Art of Loss" by Kelly Thompson & Khary Randolph - Taking place shortly after the events of Uncanny X-Men #173 where the X-Men are in Japan to attend the wedding between Wolverine and Mariko, and not long after Rogue has joined the X-Men. In this short tale, Mystique approaches Wolverine about the whereabouts of her daughter before the two fight. It's a fun little tale that draws appeal for me simply because of its tie to my favorite time of X-Men continuity. Otherwise, it's a fine story and nothing all that special.
"Reave What You Sow" by Ed Brisson, Leonard Kirk & Andres Mossa - Like the previous story, this one ties into the events of Uncanny X-Men #229 which takes place during the time fans lovingly refer to as "the Outback era". It's a bit of a polarizing time, but I always loved the change in location as well as Wolverine's time outside of the team and in Madripoor during the early portion of his own ongoing series. Here, he's attached while on a boat by Angelo Macon, a cyborg member of the Reavers. The battle takes them under the waves where a shark then gets involved. It's a fun story, but I do think the reds are overused to the point of getting distracting with this one.
"Sticks & Stones" by Steven S. DeKnight, Paulo Siqueira & Andres Mossa - Wolverine vs. Sauron in the Savage Land! A little goofy but this was the best written one in this issue in my opinion. Again though, the reds are overdone and applied inconsistently.
Solid final issue for the series that had a few standouts but mostly teetered on just being okay.

This final issue of Wolverine: Black, White & Blood sees a dip in quality after the excellent second and third issues, with only one of the three stories contained within really standing out.
There are no surprises that this is the story by Kelly Thompson, but they key here is both the art and the decision to take advantage of the limited colour palette by pitting Wolverine against a villain with red hair. This limited palette really shines with an artist with more graphic style, rather than one with a highly detailed, heavily rendered style, so Khary Randolph's very graphic style is perfect here. The use of red in this story feels deliberate, planned and an integral part of the storytelling. However, with the other two stories it feels like an afterthought, and I think it's no coincidence that a separate colourist is credited for both of these stories, whereas the red was added by Randolph themself in their story. It elevates this story above being just "Wolverine does the stabby," which neither of the other stories really manage to achieve.
As a whole however, this has been a great little series, with every issue having at least one stand out story. and I'm sure different people will enjoy different stories. Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance.

The art and the action of this issues and series were awesome in every possible ways. Unfortunately I find the stories to be too short and a bit empty in term of plot or characters "development". Too little substances for me even if the art was amazing!

Not as good as the previous ones.
The stories are mainly filler and do not really have any real impact (at least for me).
But then, I bought this mainly for the artwork and that still is great.
