Review: Wolverine: The End #6



Wolverine: The End #6
Marvel Comics
Writer: Paul Jenkins
Artist: Claudio Castellini

Could it be? Wolverine: The End and Wanted both concluded this week? It's true, it's true!

Wolverine: The End has been a major disappointment and this final issue is no different. The delays haven't done this book any favors, but the story is not very good. Wolverine is a character with ties to so many different people and so much mystery and what does his "last" story deal with? His long-lost brother? Dreadful.

I've always felt that the core of Wolverine is the man/beast conflict, made even more interesting with his ties to Japanese culture and honor and twisted by the Weapon X project. Then, there are his experiences and relationships with the X-Men, adding further depth to the character. Very little of this has been touched upon in this series, and it's all not very memorable at all. The character designs for both Wolverine and his brother aren't terribly inspired either.

And since this is a "The End" book, it should end with Wolverine's death, right?

How did this mini series go so wrong?
