Comic review: Wolverines #10- Dead Wolverine, deader book

Writer: Ray Fawkes
Artist: Jonathan Marks
Publisher: DC Comics
Release date: 11th March 2015


Why bother writing, or illustrating anything nearing a decent standard in a ‘Wolverine’ book? I mean, what’s the point in putting any effort in when you know that people are going to buy it just because of the ‘Wolverine’ name anyway?

That was the ONLY impression that Marvel comic’s Wolverine title left on me a year or so ago, the last time that I read one of the books. Now I’m back (for one week only) to see if anything has changed, to see if Marvel comics are putting any effort into the title in March 2015. Here’s the short answer to that question- NO.

I don’t blame them really. If people are daft enough to buy junk then keep on giving them junk. Wolverines #10 is smelly, rotten, stale junk, a bad comic from top to bottom, from beginning to end.

The art is horrible. Vague blurry scribbles are thrown haphazardly onto the page, sometimes a shape resembles a human being, or was that a ship, or a space alien, or something? It was something, but I guess it doesn’t really matter, does it?

The narrative involves Sabretooth and some inquisitor psychopath bloke called Fang. It is dull, aliens die, nothing really matters, end of book. Next month it will be the turn of X-23 to take a pointless ride on Fang’s merry-go-around of dullness.

Oh, that’s better, got my coffee now, and I’m ready to continue the review. Please accept my apologies. This review was boring me so much that I actually passed out halfway through a paragraph. Hang on, (sips coffee), now I’m ready to finish this boring bugger off.

Wolverine is (temporarily) dead, and so is his comic. Writer Ray Fawkes is going through the motions, and the art-team don’t give a crap either, so why should you? It’s a very dull, perfunctory title. It’s worth neither your time or money, and is just another example of Marvel comic’s sticking two fingers up to their slavishly loyal fan-base, taking a big Disney dump, putting it between the pages of one of their toy box unit shifters and selling it to their loyal fanboys. It’s a very bad comic, but you already knew that, right?

Rating: 0/10 (If a book offers nothing, it gets a 0 rating from now on)
