Wolverine #43 - Wolveirne VS Nitro: part 1

[foxx5]

The previews of Wolveirne #43 look fantastic, I love how the art looks and I love when Wolvie works with military and you know there are going to bite the dust. if you cant wait for the issue, sneak a peek: http://loganfiles.com/w-preview.html

That is ****ing disgusting art. I like how SHIELD is being portrayed as dumbasses. Hey we have Wolverine stealthy assasin lets drop by with a huge ****ing helicopter.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Heh, this title continues to deliver big time. I'm not a big fan of the art, but the quickening pace and the promise of a deepening plot and a whole hell of a lot of action has me waiting on tip toe for this one.

 

[Shadow_Knight]

I saw some of those pictures before I like some of them but half of the other ones I don't really like.

 

[samurai black]

Wouldn't this be an unfair battle? I mean couldn't nitro's blast vaporize the flesh from wolvie's bones. I can't see how he could possibly even battle him, unless it was a sneak attack or he had a force field or suit.

 

[GNR]

The story sounds like a typical Wolvie huntdown,but I mean the art is just not my cup of tea.I'm all for different types of art such as Immonen,but this is just distracting.

 

[bored]

The art looks awful.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Crappy art, but so far a great story.

Agreed.

I like Ramos (SP?) normally, but Wolvie is definately not his style.

 

[ScarletSpider]

I didn't think the art was going to suit Wolvie either, but after reading the first issue of the arc I can't wait to read the next.

 

[samurai black]

Diggin the art and the story, thus far. I like how we see things from wolvie's and the x-men's perspective and i can't wait for the final confrontation but one thing is buggin me.

How can a healing factor work against a guy who can create atomic blasts?!?

I just doesn't seem plausible that logan can win this fight. I mean from the civil war pages, we saw people reduced to skelentons from his blast. Again, what chance does logan have against that?

 

[PWN3R]

Wow, I really really like the art.

I never cared for Wolverine, but after reading issue 42, I decided to at least pick up the tie ins, that issue was great.

 

[Dread]

I don't care for Ramos' art much, but the writing is pretty good; I enjoyed the last issue of WOLVERINE and feel that its good that he has a point once in a while, as well as a mission for himself OTHER than simply "endless muddling about his past", which has been overplayed at this point. Surprising is that Wolverine's really the only mainstream hero who seems to be after Nitro (save Namor, inevitably). Not even the government seems half as interested in nailing Nitro as they are in putting the screws to the superheroes and blaming Stamford on the New Warriors (and their poor team tactics & quest for ratings, a twist even for them). Hell, the Marvel media seems to be more willing to crucify the New Warriors and other heroes and has said diddly about Nitro (who, in the age of suicide bombers, is about due to kick arse and be really threatening).

Granted, that does bare some fruit of realism; plenty of people in America seemed more interested in blaming 9/11 on "intelligence failures" than actually stopping terrorists. "Blame the victim" is sort of a tried and true response for a lot of things in America (at least in some circles), so at least CW is keeping with the times, even if its unpleasant (which may be the point).

 

[GNR]

How is the story anyways?I avoided this because it just sounded like a typical Wolvie revenge/huntdown a la Enemy of the State and Agent of SHIELD.

Sure it takes place after the Stamford incident,but is it really any different?

In that fashion, no, its the same. Wolverine revenge stories are pretty standard, even way back at the launch of the title.

Sort of like "Punisher kills criminals because they're nasty" sort of stories. Sort of goes with the territory. Wolverine's relied on hack-and-slash actioners for a while so that's what his solo usually delivers. Or tries to.

 

[MajinShenron]

Art sucks, story line looks good. This might be one of Wolverine's hardest battles.

He fights Namor next.lol

He fights Namor next.lol

yes I cant wait for that, this arc is great alot of action.

You disgust me.

 

[UK_Stu]

Yuck, I don't like Ramo's artwork anyway and seeing this preview just reminds of that that fact. This appears to be an "a typical" wolverine story which has been done time and time again. I might check out the story once Namor is involved

 

[thor87]

You disgust me.

but he is right. I am kinda glad that they arent blaming Nitro though cause well it wasnt really his fault, they attacked him next to a school knowing his capabilities did they really expect him not to fight back.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Crappy art, but so far a great story.

Most definitely, as I said, the art drives you to distraction but the story is worth it. The pace and the in depth story really continue to deliver, which says alot considering the art.

 

[Horrorfan]

You disgust me.

Why?

He's completely, utterly right.

 

[Kotagg]

That's so completely ludicrous that I'm honestly astounded you typed it. It's wrong on so many levels...just wow. I certainly hope you were joking.

 

[i'm Spider-Man]

firstly, on the art side of things, i think there's one thing we can all agree on: Ramos should NEVER draw Iron Man. In any way, for any reasons.

Secondly, in response to what GNR4Life said, I like the fact that this is a revenge story in essence, but also it's not really a personal revenge - it's Wolverine seeking Justice. Nitro after all, is the man who actually killed the people in Stamford, yet the authorities do indeed seem more concerned about persecuting the New Warriors.

I dunno, i just like the fact the he's going after 'the villain of the story' out of anger about what happened, rather than 'something Nitro did to him'
