I'll have my review prepared a bit later, but no, nothing even remotely interesting happened. It's a 20 page fight scene. I will admit, I thought some of the exposition was interesting, but most of it amounted to trash talking and "I'm the most powerful man in the world!" "Nuhuh! I am!". So little happened in fact, and it was so anticlimactic, that I'm actually having trouble writing a review about it. There was that little meat to the book. |

True it was pretty anti-climatic in all ways. At least it did not really make things any worse. |

Yeah you gotta love when the "conclusion" to a storyline is everything but.... |

20 pages...long fight scene...very little actually happens..."conclusion" of a 4-part story that isn't a conclusion at all. Typical, typical Daniel Way style through and through.... Par for the course, and nothing more. |

I must say I'm very disappointed of Romulus as a character. The main reason is that he's supposed to be the guy responsible for all the suffering made to Wolverine yet I have this feeling he appears to be just another villain. I don't know if readers felt the same but I felt his personality didn't suit with the character. There is that part when Logan makes Romulus angry then he attacks Logan with rage. And the other rhing is that to me Logan beat Romulus easily. Not at all waht I expect from someone who has a healing factor and the ability of some kind of teleportation. |

Pissing off hardcore fans shouldn't be a writer's objective. Telling a good story should come before "how pissed off can I make these guys". It's not my objective as a reader to buy into that kind of situation. I read comics for the quality, the story, the art. Not to be jerked around or to have the right to complain. I can't look at Romulus or this storyline (or Daken and X-23 for that matter) without either taking it with such a grain of salt and shrugging because these are all derivatives of a sense, of Wolverine. (Not to hyjack this thread, but being derivative, of Sabretooth, is one of the things Wild Child was accused of and not taken seriously for. Yet we have the granddaddy of all derivatives, Romulus, a son with similar powers, and a female clone.) For these reasons I can't read this without shrugging at it. I'm sure there are plenty better battles and foes Wolverine has been involved. I can't find even the slightest interest in this story now that the objective is 'kill off his rogues gallery and replace it with a derivative anime-like character.' 20 pages of fight. Not my thing.

I would have rather had another Wolverine / Sabretooth fight claw to claw then this. At least then you have something invested in the characters and the struggle. Wolverine fighting yet another cheap knock off does nothing for me. |
