The best part... I read a book starting with issue #41. Yeah, I just picked up the newest issue and started reading. It was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
See, I have not read a Wolverine solo issue since Return of Wolverine #1. I have not even looked at a Wolverine solo issue since Return of Wolverine #2. So that is over 5 years of "continuity" skipped. And I do not feel like I missed much, I loved Wolverine in HOXPOX but everything after that looked like junk. And I have yet to hear a single person say "no read Wolverine now, seriously." So I did not and have not.

Then I saw Geoff Shaw was an artist on issue #42. "But Rick, this is issue #41!" Well yeah, I checked when Geoff started art and that was issue #41, "the most violent Wolverine story ever told!" aka SABERTOOTH WAR part 1. I love me some Geoff artwork, God Country is amazing and Crossover was under rated art wise. But this is not that Geoff Shaw, this is Marvel don't care paycheck Geoff doing 11 pages. And Cory (who now?) Smith doing the rest. With 2 artists, the book also obviously needs 2 writers... No really 2 artists and 2 writers and and 2 inkers! And I will admit this is probably the first Benjamin Percy book I knowingly read. And also most likely my first Victor LaValle book as well.
Spoilers, this trend will stop pretty soon if things don't pick up very quickly.
The art does not save the story and the story does nothing for the art either.
Yes, the story is extremely violent at times. You guys got that right! There are at least 3 character deaths, one just weeks away from his first toy appearance, that end in a beautiful thoughtful message from Creed to Logan. I will stick around for another issue or two, but if the art stays subpar and the writing does not rise to be at least poor, I'm out. Snikt! Snikt!
