I am biased. The main thing I liked about Rucka was having Wolverine lose to Sabretooth like he's supposed to. Whether he changed that later, Idk. I am only familiar with The Native story in his writing, and as one of the last good Creed stories before the subsequent 15 years of jobbing and humiliation.
But Rucka had his flaws with the characters' strengths and durability. Both Logan & Creed had Adamantium, I think. If they did, Logan's neck getting snapped by a bullet probably shouldn't have happened. When Creed is run over, he should've been more than capable of lifting a truck off him. I think he lifted heavier stuff before the 2 strength enhancements.
