Unlike the rest of the world I thought the first two issues before the massive hiatus were just OK. But since coming back it got progressively better, issue by issue. All-in-all I was really pleased with this storyline. Spoiler: click to toggle There's also this hilarious moment where, shortly after She-Hulk pokes out Logan's eye, he's forced to wear an eye-patch ala his classic "Patch" persona. He goes after the Hulk before Nick Fury abruptly halts the fight they are about to have. Fury takes one look at them, and the first thing to come out of his mouth was "Logan. You stole my look." Hilarious.

Kind of a let down really since there was no big fight and Wolverine was portrayed as the heavy the whole time. But it was not a bad issue just anti-climatic I actually felt the opposite on this one. When the series first started out, I was really concerned that it was just going to be one big mindless 6 issue fight. I wasn't looking forward to that any more than I looked forward to World War Hulk (all fighting, absolutely no substance). Instead they took it in a different direction and started out with a bang, a battle royale, and then gradually moved into a more thoughtful piece about life, identity, peace, and even a little bit of love. Spoiler: click to toggle I'm pleased that the series ended with a calm moment between the two, because had they fought again it would only be a draw and the limited series would have felt like it accomplished nothing. As it stands they now have some sort of mutual respect for one and other. Though I suspect if it came to it they wouldn't hesitate to beat the snot out of each other. Much like the Wolverine/Thing relationship in the mainstream continuity.

I wanted the slugfest, it was called Wolverine vs Hulk, not Wolverine and Hulk conversation time.

Samurai Posts: 1,092 Group: Members Member #54 Joined: March 10, 2009	Honestly I put almost no emphasis on fights in superhero comics. It's the least important part to me. It doesn't really matter who's stronger than who or how brutal the imagery can get. Sure it's fun, but I put it at the bottom on my list of priorities. And "vs" doesn't necessarily mean fighting. The first half of the series is fighting, and the second half is a battle of wits, but the two are at odds none the less. I'm wholly satisfied with the conclusion, because in this fight there will never be a winner. Neither character is allowed to die, so neither character can ever win. And even if they were allowed to die, they cannot because both of them appear in stories that take place after this book (IE Ultimatum).

Undisputed Ruler of Comicdom Posts: 3,829 Group: Global Moderators Member #62 Joined: April 2, 2009	I do like the fights. It is super hero comics and it's pretty much all about beating the bad guy. That said if this series had not started with Wolverine being torn apart I would have been fine with the cat and mouse at the end. Even if it had started with Wolverine tearing into the Hulk rather then vice versa. But I'm biased, Wolverine is my favorite character and I don't really like seeing him get abused and not get a bit of revenge.

The series had great art from Yu and despite lots of flaws, some excellent moments from Lindelof - "Logan pisses off a panda". I'd certainly read another comic book from him... in TPB form that is, since I wouldn't take the risk of getting singles.
