On the most negative side we also had some really clumsy stuff like the Silver Fox retcon and i personally can't stand Cyber most of the time (thougth his death made feel a bit sad for him) and some issues of the Bone Claws era are weird.
But overall i think that it does more good than bad from most of that period, among my favorite issues are "The Hunter in Darkness", "Babes at Sea", "State of Grace", "The Dying Game" and "Ommia Muntaur" (that issue when hi rescue his foster daughter Amiko), just to name a few. Kuudos also to the portrayal of his relationships with the X-Women, Jean, Storm and Jubilee in particular (his stuff with Heather Hudson and her husband was also nice).
After issue 100 in when i think that Hama stayed way too long, the whole "Feral Wolverine" wasn't particurlary compelling and was resolved way too quickly for me to actually care, Hama also started to focus less on Logan and more on the guest apperances, wich weren't bad just a tad dissapointing, it doesn't help that the run pretty much ends with a croosover with the rest of the X-Titles (OTZ), well not completly, you have a thebfirst issue of the next arc written by him... and then rest written by Ellis, the transition isn't jarring of anything and the arc in particular (Not Dead Yet) is pretty good, but is dissapointed that the whole ends so casually.
Anyway, those are my thougths about, so what do you think about this run in general?
