Hunt for Wolverine

Hunt for Wolverine by Charles Soule
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An ok comic collection. Working towards the Return of Wolverine.

The story begins with an attempt to steal Wolverine's body. However the X-Men have a secret, yet even they are in for a surprise.

So what has happened was his body taken for nefarious purposes? Or did he just get up and walk away? This is Woverine after all, and in any case how. That is what 4 different teams set out to find out.

The first team is lead by Daredevil. This is a part I really did not understand. Out of all the chacters in the book this team has the least to do with Wolverine. Daredevil himself is not know as an investigator. He does the smart thing and and gets a couple. However only one person on this team has anything of a connection to the man himself. Ok story 3 stars.

The the second team are Logan's former colleagues in the New Avengers, who made a promise of him. A good but sort of long winded story. Probably because the characters involved my faverite of the four.

The next team are the people who hate Wolverine/Logan the most they are looking to bury him. Yet are they falling into a trap themselves. I found this story a bit of a waste and dull really. 2 Stars.

The X-Women are traveling to the Island of adventure to find any clue to Wolverine but run into their own trouble. 3 Stars.

Then the wrap up and extracts of Marvel Legecy 1. I left the book more confused then I started it. Never a good sign. What worries me is they have 400 pages to get the setup done the actual return issues is 5 issues, they are going that to rush through the what's and how's plush deal with the return in a much smaller issue. I would say unless you are a huge X fan go straight for the return. Possible the New Avengers story but I would not recommend it to people looking for answers.
