Wolverine #6 + X-Force #13 [XoS chapter 3-4] review *spoilers*

[Dthirds3]

I'm guessing solem asked who were the other sword welders.... I like him

Also mad Jim jasper being back won't end well

[JB]

Did enjoy getting to know more of War, and Solem though. Particularly Solem.

Agreed. It was interesting seeing War distraught and frustrated. As a friend said, we're getting a lot of depth with the Arakki characters.

[Havok83]

They should have just made this a double size issue of Wolverine.

[CGAR]

Question: who is the artist that messed up on Pestilence design. Was it the Viktor guy?

[LordAllMIghty]

I gotta admit, I like Solem.

I think the only thing that bother me was Wolverine's skeleton pulling itself out of the Hellfire lava. I was like, that's not how that works.

Agreed.

Yeah I really hope at least some (besides Solem) stick around.

This might be favorite issue(s) in the event so far. Solid subplot with wonderful art from Viktor, and unlike today's Marauders, it actually respected Logan's history and relationships outside of the X-men. I though that Solem was going to be a try-hard 90's edge lord, but he's actually a fun character, kind of similar to Loki, and he's an interesting antithesis to Wolverine. They're both infamous killers, but Logan was hated, feared and treated like a monster for most of his life, while Solem was loved, worshipped, and lusted after.

[HeartofTheStoriesWeTell]

Loved both of these issues. Solem is already a breakout star for me.

I'm very curious what Logan gave up for the sword.

Do they explain why these new 2 swords have the same property as the one made by fussing Logan’s soul into it??

[Celestialbodies]

Didn't enjoy either, I've had my fill of Wolverine and I purchased both hoping that the rest of the cast of this event would be featured. The first and last time I purchase an X-title without going to the review thread.

That aside I enjoyed Solem, but the story was not worth two issues, and certainly not worth the price of two books I thought each chapter would feature the cast and further the overall story, ala X-factor. Gross.

[nx01a]

Yeah, this story wasn't worth 2 issues.
The art was certainly more fitting with a dark fantasy story than X-Factor's.

So Solem had an affair with War's husband, Bracken, and they ended up fighting because Bracken didn't want Solem to move on. Solem then kills him to upset the wife...
X-franchise stay messy LMAO

The best thing about these issues. I can't wait for Solem to meet Iceman, much less Daken.

[HandofPrometheus]

Solem gonna break their heart don't wish this on them lmao.

[nx01a]

Solem gonna break their heart don't wish this on them lmao.

Hearts aren't the only things he breaks.

[Killerbee911]

Marvel makes an event with sword users and Silver Samurai, Shatterstar, Psylocke and Nightcrawler aren't in it. For the first time ever I got Silver Samurai frustration he is like when else are you going to use me.

Solem was good, He lives up to the writers hype. How he like to play games is good for Wolverine villain.

[Dipter]

These Arakki characters are fleshed out very well. They are equally unprepared for the tournament and their relationships with one another are just as complex and drama-filled as the X-Men. Already more interesting than the Black Order.

[TheCape]

Logan actually had Daken and they were a family even for a short time? In the panel where Logan talks about his past and family we see him with his wife and baby Daken, but originally Itsu was killed while she was still pregnant and Logan never had time with his son. I don’t know if it’s a mistake or a retcon.

Probably a mistake, i woulnd't mind if it turned out to be a retcon considering how bad that story truly is.

Overall, it was a solid arc, but it probably would have been better as an overzised Wolverine issue instead of using X-Force. The hightlight of the story for me was to see Mariko and Logan finally talking, even if it wasn't good.

Solem seems to be a decent enemy.
