More nothing happens. More stuff goes on in the background and more people talk. That's it. We get another glimpse at what happened just briefly, and that's it.


Commentary:
I read another reviewer's thoughts on this book and apparently a lot of people are starting to really like this arc. It doesn't make any sense at all how anybody can. It sucks. Pure and simple. It is pure crap.
 

Here's what happens: Wolverine and Hawkeye continue their travels and come upon a city where the Moloids have attacked and one lone survivor. They leave him because there is nothing they can do for him. This of course, happens after they leave Hawkeye's ex-wife and Spider-Man's youngest daughter who just so happens to be black and doesn't like that her daughter got involved with superheroes.

Then we see her trapped in jail. The jail belongs to someone who is like a different version of Robert Kirkman's Governor from the much better Walking Dead series and has a couple of the superheroes chained up in the middle of a sports arena (just like the Governor). See, this person usurped the throne of Kingpin and is the new Kingpin and proceeds to kill the 'Punisher' and 'Daredevil' rejects that he has left in the middle of the arena but leaves their leader, Spider-Girl/Woman, alive, because they want to do stuff to her. You know, like what the Governor did to Michonne in the Walking Dead.

So anyone who knows what happened in that arc knows what happens here. Spider-Michonne breaks free with the helps of poppa Hawkeye and she kills the Kingernor and is going to try and usurp his throne. Of course, this may force Wolverine to pop the claws and come out of retirement to save Hawkeye (whose own daughter has turned on him), but we only see him looking angry. The issue ends there. Nothing more.

You see, as I mentioned, this arc sucks. Paul Jenkins did it better when it was called Wolverine: The End. Robert Kirkman did it better recently in the Walking Dead. Hell, Clint Eastwood did it better nearly 15 years ago with Unforgiven, and its damn near the same as that STILL.

I can't believe I'm still buying this book. I told myself I'm just buying it for the art. And that's the case here. McNiven's art has gotten a hell of a lot prettier as the pages progress, and he's the main reason to buy this book. But unless you're a die hard McNiven fan or a die hard Logan fan, get out. Don't buy this. And wake up. Mark Millar is wasting your money when you could be reading much better comics.

Comics like Invincible, Ghost Rider, and scores of others. Mark Millar is taking your money and wiping his ass with it and crafting these awful stories that other people have boiled down to fan fiction, and that is exactly what it is. Nothing happens. It is an 8 issue arc that goes nowhere, and if the upcoming solicits mean anything, it is taking at least a month off. I will be dropping this. To hell with the continued numbering of the book. This arc has been a blight on this book and it doesn't deserve my money. I will not be reviewing any further Mark Millar books unless he finds a way to truly make a great book that tears it up (especially since Kick Ass is just completely ripping off Sin City and wasting the talents of JRJR on a worthless piece of shit). Considered this bitch dropped.

FINAL WORD: You're circling the bottom of the bowl Mark Millar. We all knew you could do it you constant hype-machine asswipe. Good luck writing your magnum opus Superman trilogy. I hope that Michael Bay directs it so that I can stay away from that like the plague.
