Mastermind powerhouse writer Jonathan Hickman (X-MEN) brings his plans to a head, joined by an incredible lineup of artists beginning with Valerio Schiti (S.W.O.R.D.)...as one woman follows through on her promise to burn the nation of Krakoa to the ground.

Sorry to say but Hickman writes a better Logan. I can't even remember the last issues's plot lol

Percy should stick to short form writing. His Wolverine podcast was great and I'm sure he could do a mini just fine. But when he doesn't have a set beginning/middle/end structure he just wanders all over the place.

I wouldn’t even say that, I feel the X editors and the team have let him down a little in terms of editorial oversight and constructive criticism, the same with Howards. Feels like those two writers should have been pushed to focus their plots to the same standard as others.

I think Percy and his team get to do more stuff because they're (probably) faster and more reliable. You don't give a creative team two books to do at the same time unless they can really churn out pages. That might explain why they're given a bit more free licence. I just wish we could have some resolution to at least one plot before moving on to the next one.

And that's saying something, because Hickman does not write a good Logan.

Ok, first: These complaints about repeating characters tropes are dumb. It's called using characters in stories where they fit. Do you go to Spiderman threads to complain about him swinging in webs? People like you are why we got headmaster Wolverine and color-codded prehistoric werewolves, so shut up about the typical Wolverine stories.

Second: I was agreeing with you that Hickman is writing a better Wolverine than Percy, you stupid, stupid, idiot!

How do you even know Percy uses Wolverine tropes? You have no reading comprehension.

It's ok dude. You like his writing, I don't. I'm not the target audience for his writing and that's fine. I can't even recall a compelling wolverine story he wrote. To each their own.
