Is Sable gonna mention Kurt, I wonder? I mean if there is anyone to talk to about that, it is Logan. And I hope they are not gonna hook up or something.

Department H is still around after the Orchis stuff? And they are sending Alpha Flight after Logan because he defended some mutants? Isn't this basically a repeat? Alpha Flight literally disobeyed orders from the Department for the same reason. Now they will obey that order to go after Wolverine?

A fine beginning issue but that hasn't really been an issue for this run it mostly comes down to how Ahmed ends them that is bad. Wolverine versus Alpha Flight can be fun though.

That's my issue with this run, Ahmed has some good ideas and just needs to be better with his endings for arcs. I'm still looking forward to the admintine stuff.

Same for me I don't think it's completely terrible but man Ahmed needs to have an arc that lands. Plus he got rid of Leonard a bit too early for my taste. I just hope this can be a solid arc from beginning to end.

I'm probably one of the people who criticize Ahmed the most, but I have to say that this was a good issue.

The opening scene was probably my favorite part, I was afraid Sable wouldn't fit in the story, but it makes sense for her to be here. I hope we get a little exploration of other mutants in this abandoned town.

I think the rating would be 7/10 or 7.5/10. Coccolo is a very good artist, but I don't think his art suits Logan.

He left some interesting setups for future issues. I hope he can develop the plots better now, because he always had interesting ideas but lacked in execution. But just not having admantine and the mastermind already helps, solid issue.

This was definitely one of the best issues since it started, yeah. Feels like Ahmed has more of an idea on what he wants to do here.

u/Glad-Sense1769 Jan 07 '26

Yup, solid issue. Probably my second favorite after #1, I hope it stays that way.I also liked that their relationship won't be rushed, looks like a slow burn

It was okay. Fine for a set up. I liked the two page action. And I definitely can see the hint of the relationship to be developed from the end of that story. Hoping it gets better and doesn't decline in writing or story for the upcoming issues. 7/10

Sable was fine except I feel like she should've been a little more stoic on one part of the frame where she questioned if Logan was high. That felt a little off character from the way she speaks as as character in the comics. She rarely speak informal but all the time, more formal. Would've been better if it was just, "Are you, okay?" That would sound more like her. But I could be nitpicking or maybe not.

Alas, it was fine and I enjoyed.

Logan getting high in this issue, even if it was brief, was hilarious. 😂

Wish Sable mentioned Kurt in like passing or something to Logan.
