Alessandro Cappuccio delivers stunning imagery on every page of this issue. The battle between the wolf and bear is visually stunning and visceral. The brutality of those moments are epic in visual scope. I also loved the final image and how dark it is. Read Full Review

Condon uses the final data page to put the icing on the cake, describing the fates of Xavier and Jean Grey, while introducing Magneto into the mix. It's a great capstone to an issue that goes above and beyond. Ultimate Wolverine #4 could have went in the direction everyone was figuring, and it would have been a good issue. However, Condon and Cappuccio go in a different direction and it pays off. No one would have complained if this book would have just done a straight-up “Weapon X” pastiche, because Condon and Cappuccio are so good. It would have been a bloody feast. However, dropping the metaphorical battle between the wolf and the bear into the book was perfect. It's the book's plot in microcosm, and it's wonderful. Every issue of this book keeps knocking it out of the park, and this issue shows why it takes a story we've read a million times, recontextualizes it, and presents it in a new way.

Ultimate Wolverine #4 is a comic book saved by the final four pages of this issue. Before getting to the conclusion it felt like this issue was spinning its wheels with plot beats explored in previous issues. Read Full Review

Ultimate Wolverine #4 shows the savage fallout from the Winter Soldier's interaction with Kitty Pryde, but Chris Condon's script takes an entire issue to symbolically show the titular character losing control. The script is little more than a single, inconsequential scene with a twist ending, so the only reason to buy it is for the outstanding art by Alessandro Cappuccio. Read Full Review
