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.
