This was just meh.

This was a fast paced book and the art was great, but I don't know if I like the explanation of why Wolverine is back. I didn't care for the "villain" as we didn't get much in the way of how she was able to gain so much power and I didn't really understand the motivations for her actions.

It's also a little confused about the times we saw Wolverine pop up in other comics in the shadows. The two that come to mind are when he found an infinity stone, then gave it to Black Widow. He was also seen looking at everybody during Kitty and Colossus's wedding event.

Overall, the story felt rush and it feels like they just wanted Wolverine back and didn't care about creating a story that was great.
