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!
This month continues the re-introduction to a long thought dead villian Cyber. This month Cyber takes over the mind and body of a frail young man diagnosed with down syndrome. Cyber in his new body murders the young man's father and makes his escapes with revenge on his mind. Wolverine is left alone in Germany gathering his thoughts, meanwhile his 'son' has a meeting with an informant that tells his that his handlers are displeased with his current activities. Cyber later contacts a scientist about re-bonding the adamantium to him, he tells the doctor of how he survived (low level telepath that allowed his mind to stay alive and peice itself backtogether again). The issue ends with Cyber and Daken (Logan's 'son') talking via mobile phone.
Overall the issue, while overall pretty dull and again adds nothing to Wolverine moved a bit more briskly than most issues and moves the story along. Some more terrible habits again appear, such as the focus on 'Daken', who is one of the most uninspired and terrible characters created in a long time, and the portion where Cyber reveals some secrets to Nick Fury, but the reader (us!) doesn't get filled in. This happens almost all the time and its wearing thin (Bucky, Silver Samurai). To me this is lazy storytelling, and poor technique.
All in all, this issue I believe was more tolerable than almost every other issue, while for the third month straight, we learn nothing of Logan's past (which is what this was supposed to do in this book, we are moving forward. Next month is the 'showdown' between Logan and Dakan and it also marks the last cover illustrated by Joe Q.
So while you didn't learn nothing about Logan (again), he still frustrates you about the lack of acknowledging story parts from before (Jubilee impaled, a stabbed Dugan, the dead Secretary of State etc) this issue won't want to make you just give up comics. It still has terrible art, sure, lazy writing, inconsistent and drawn out pages, this will keep you dropping for another month. Overall, it gets the highest mark in months!
