The Mark Millar storyline is over, and while it delivered what it was supposed to (nothing but action in the Mighty Marvel Method! Nuff said!), in the end, it was like eating a meal of frosting and cotton candy. For the first 6 issues, having Wolverine mind-controlled and attacking every super-hero they could think of was big goofy fun, but the second half just fell apart for me.
I wanted to love the super-hero zombie horde, the team up with Elektra, the Big Stuff about The Hand, but it just sort of felt as if he gave the artist pages of script that read, "And then they fight until you get sick of drawing that character, at which point, Wolverine fights another character."
And then, after all of the action scenes, and major fights, we were expected to remember a minor character who died at the beginning of the story a year ago and feel upset about it? It really felt as if Millar wanted to tack on an ending with more meaning than the story needed.
For the most part, Wolverine's solo series has been a dumping ground for mediocre stories because it will sell no matter who does it...but am I the only one who wishes they would give Wolverine the same treatment they are giving Amaizng Spider-Man and Superman, i.e. trying to bring in a top notch creative team to actually make one of the flagship characters worth reading? |
