Demarcoa's Profile

An extremely cool and creative issue where Legion restores Logan's mind. This is conveyed through some truly impressive art. It's neat reading about David at the end of this issue.

A fun enough Wolverine-Sabretooth fight. Nothing mind-blowing again, but still solid and acceptable.

I really like the art but the dialogue and narration is a little repetitive and messy. I liked the reveal of Jean Grey and the hints of what happened to Professor X and Mangeto.

Really cool art and the writing wasn't bad, either. It moves the story along but never blows my mind or anything like that.

I was pretty meh on the whole Colossus and Magik stuff at the beginning but Winter Soldier just easily taking out a squad of soldiers and walking around with those heads was pretty menacing and well drawn.

Not a huge plot in terms of stuff happening, it's more all in the stage it sets. Wolverine is a brainwashed assassin who kills Nightcrawler in the opening issue. The art is truly impressive.

Love the opening here with the Hulk. A gorilla tries to bite his head off - that was great and I liked how he interacted with Amadeus and Wolverine too. Shanna looks particularly over-the-top in a few pages, though that pales in comparison to the real issue. This is a really, REALLY dumb ending with aliens and nothing to do with any of our characters.

I'm not really enjoying these but it is competent art and writing, at least. It's practically pornographic at times, though, and given Cho's history I'm not too far off here. Not a huge fan of Cho's dialogue, either. It's a bit exhausting after a while. The giant gorilla fight, while brief, was the only bit of fun I got.

I don't mind sexuality in comics but these Frank Cho books are horny as hell. Some of it is very clunky and slow-moving - almost painful to get through. It's nice to have Amadeus Cho show up in a story like this especially the way he writes that native tribe...

Why does Logan and Shanna feel like they are in a children's cartoon?

Art is okay... but it's very Frank Cho, to a fault. I don't love this writing style either. A little silly and not in a fun way.

Logan has had many adventures in the Savage Land before, but even then I feel this one manages to stand out visually and in its story telling. Refreshingly brutal, but maybe a little heavy on unnecessary narration. Shanna's bickering with Wolverine also felt weird.

So this WHOLE STORY happened because this Persephone chick got inspired by a late-night rerun of Moonraker? I can see why they waited until the last possible moment to let THAT cat out of the bag.

This series is just not that good. It has gone from ok to barely ok from start to finish. The story is basic and straight forward. Logan was brought back to be Wolverine in a comic world where I thought we had already filled the void. X-23 was a great Wolverine and Old Man Logan was fitting the more mature material better. Most would be better served to read a synopsis and just pick up when the ne w Wolverine #1 comes out.

We have not gotten a single good Wolverine is returning storyline that was intended to be a Wolverine storyline. The best story about him was in the pages of Thor. The miniseries searching for Wolverine flopped. The Soule Return of Wolverine is a mixed bag at best, and the timing is bad because we have already moved on to Age of X-man and War of the Realms.

Just skip it. more

I feel this story is so poorly paced the ending was always going to inevitably feel rushed and truncated emotionally. The writing really feels overblown this issue. I didn't like this series much at all, but there are satisfying elements to the ending even if they are quite flawed.

Return of Wolverine is awful. We did get some answers to how Logan is Alice but it's so not worth it and this series and issue in particular is so horrible. It amazes me that this is the best Soule could come up with to resurrect Logan

We start off with an exposition dump, but at least it is an interesting exposition dump. Still, I can't help but feel this series is largely a waste of time. Persephone finally is at least somewhat interesting.

Wait, so that was really Daken earlier? Now I'm getting a little confused about what Persephone is supposed to be. This issue has some moments, at least, but it's a weird mid-part, for sure.

For a five issue miniseries I absolutely would have preferred a more consistent art team. The shift to Shalvey is immediately jarring. This Persephone story already feels like a chore, including her faceless goons that are just clones of Wolverine villains. Still, Logan's heated claws and the way they depict him unlocking parts of himself in his own mind at least are faintly interesting.

Throwing in another one-off romance like this feels repetitive and rushed. This series is trying to do too much, I feel.more

Simple. I'm giving this a 4 because of the art.

I love Steve McNiven's art. I grew up with BWS' Weapon X. This looks perfectly Wolverine to me.

Soule's script is garbage. It's something a high school student could do, not a 'top tier industry profession', and certainly not the same guy that killed Wolverine off in the first place.

The Death of Wolverine, although not a fan favourite story for some, was very well executed. This is literal trash, and most definitely the reason why McNiven dropped issues 2 to 5.

4 for the pretty pictures.more

THE GOOD:

-This issue has some really good dramatic moments, especially in the first few pages. they stand out and are effective.

-It'll be the day when I say, "I loved the writing but thought the art was garbage." It's only a matter of time before people start complaining. However, this time around I loved the art and hated the writing. Siggghhhhh.

THE BAD:

-This issue is 4.99 and I don't remember a single thing about it (I'm writing this review about 45 minutes after I read it)

- This is one of the most bland, unoriginal stories I have read in a long, long time.

PS: Sorry this review is so incredibly short, but I genuinely can only recall these things about the issue.more
