Better than Life Itself: It must be in your collection for eternity
Definite Read!: A great read from front to finish
Not bad, but not great: A decent read worth the asking price
Well, it’s not the worst: Only for diehards…even then
Where’s my Pistol?: Titles like this make you question your hobby!
If this wasn't a rush job of a release, I don't know what is. Wolverine is cornered by SHIELD, he sicks Omega Red on SHIELD, he tries to save Jubilee who's impaled, SHIELD agrees to save little ol' Jubilee and then blasts Wolvie in the head a thousand times and Wolvie's son shows up sporting his Nasty Boy look and slashes Logan. The end.
There is no story involved, and oh yeah Dum Dum is dead. We don't see this 'son' fully. All he says is that Wolvie is weak, while Wolvie cries. Nothing worth while happens, no Wolverine vs Omega Red, nothing here for Jubilee fans. Overall this issue is another waste of comic, nothing happens, except for the weird part of Dugan shooting Logan execution style, much unwarranted, for reasons unknown cause he's dead. Oh well, till this Wolverine is revealed to a Skrull see ya next month. Buyers Beware, totally avoid

Savior Review (Issues 6-10):
Savior is a five part series that has Wolverine in search of the C-Synthesizer to help defeat his son who has the same handlers that Wolverine once had. Some flashbacks occur that show the effects of C-Synthesizer on his healing factor, meanwhile he searches for the man whom he gave the synthesizer to, Chris Nord. OR ends up coming for the device as well and captures helpless Jubilee and takes off, Wolverine goes to Berlin and runs into Black Widow and parts of their history are revealed, with the ending of the story showcasing Wolverine against his 'son'.
The story picks up the pace a bit more than the last arc. Wolverine doesn't end up in a plain patch of grass in Vietnam for four issues. The flashbacks are a bit more satisfying although nothing is really that much interesting and it just became nothing more than muddled re-living of old 90's era stories. The art only gets slightly better in about two pages of issue #10, the rest of the art is something totally forgettable and just as terrible as the first five issues. Even JoeyQs always reliable kick ass covers are more and more weak. It seems like he's really too busy to produce covers, issues 8,9, and especially 10 have no imagination and are really dull, and issue 11 continues the trend. The sad thing though, is these lackluster covers are miles above the interiors. This still has variant covers for each issue that continue to sucker fans that deem these 'variants' important/collectors items.
The story still moves at a snails pace, this series could have wrapped up in three issues max, and the biggest dissappointment of them all is the complete non interaction between Jubilee and Wolverine, no sarcastic quips by jubilee in the face of danger, no cocky hero attitude by Wolverine, deeming Jubilee 'dead anyways' without hesitation, that isn't the Wolverine I know, who also just looks at a dying Jubilee complaining how 'weak' he is.
Nothing more was revealed about Wolverine, showing more proof that this was an unecessary series, I was very interested in this series, Wolverine being the best character in comics, but nothing added in this series warrants a second solo Wolverine. Till next five parter
Rating: Well, it’s not the worst: Only for diehards…even then
