Playing both sides for the greater good!
Written by Paul Cornell with artwork by Ryan Stegman (pencils w/David Baldeon), inks by Morales (w/Stegman and Hanna), and colors by David Curiel.
The Good
What a great issue?! Paul Cornell and company really stepped up their game with this 4th issue! In this issue, Wolverine reflects the events that led to him leaving his school (The Jean Grey School of Higher Learning).
We all know that Wolverine is pretty prone to either fighting or fleeing from a situation that seems bigger than him. This situation is no different. Wolverine losing his healing factor has really hit him hard and has made him scared even to the extent of freezing in battle. Wolverine sees this as a major problem and must go on his own before he jeopardizes the lives of everyone he care about. It's really great to see how Cornell continues to tell this story from the past and present perspective, giving us one full enjoyable story.
Having Wolverine to be vulnerable for once really scares him and it's great to see how that translates on the pages of this issue and the series in general. Also, having Wolverine play both sides and actually be working for S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually a good twist, as Wolverine now has conflicting thoughts of having to kill his new found teammates if S.H.I.E.L.D. requests it. So left-or-right, Wolverine is always making the tough choices no matter what!
The artwork is great! The art team did a great job once again with the artwork and they do an outstanding job with the colors, design, etc on this issue.
The Bad
No complaints.
The Verdict
If you haven't had the chance to check out this issue, I recommend picking it up! It'll change your mind about following this series because of the plot elements that are thrown at Wolverine. 5 out of 5.
