Wolverine #8 swings for the fences in its milestone 400th issue, delivering three stories that range from underwhelming to unforgettable. While "Adamantine Unleashed and "This Is Your Life struggle to earn their emotional beats, the final short by Daniel Warren Johnson is a haunting gem that leaves a lasting impression. It's a mixed bag that longtime fans may appreciate for its ambition, but newcomers might find it a pricey and uneven ride. Read Full Review

This comic never had much promise, but it made up for it with good art and narration execution. Now that's gone. We are so far from the initial little promise from the start, even after eight issues in, that we've lost even that.admitedly this issue picks it up a little bit, but it also left not such a great taste in my mouth.

Personally, i can't take Adamantine seriously, and honestly, i dont think it's a me issue. Fundamentally the whole concept is so stupid and honestly everything that is good about this comics is ruined by Adamantine. Last issue was teribly paced because of it, this also. The little conclusion we had to this plotline for now also, it seems too abrupt, with too little of a urgency for something that was sold as so big. Honestly, it's the same issue with Daredevil. And i get that maybe it's part of the intent to make those plotlines to float one into another but here it's like they crash and it's like one is just forgotten for the next, like Ahmed did not plan how to scructure them and thats why it slammed them into one issue. Why i dont like this approach here? because this way the plotlines lose their punch, those big moments as well.

Coccolo's art also i feel it took a nosedive; it looks rushed, it is not as refined, which is a shame because he is one of the best. here it lacks it's potency, it lack the direction, i learned to associate with it, as well as i feel that here it does not work well with Ahmed's writing, which btw is so static in itself and also lack the direction for a huge part of the issue that it had in the beggining. So the panels feel hollow.

The end of the main story, i kinda liked, it actually was heartwarming, especially Logan reflecting on his mother, but considering what came after, it does come off as little cheap to me also
. Plus, this plotline was the main attraction of the book, even if it was rushed for me, and its conclusion did not feel that earned.

DWJ's story is nice btw and kinda the polar oposite to the main story. Intense with good energy more
