Writer: Marc Guggenheim
Artist: Humberto Ramos

To me, another enjoyable issue of Wolverine. For Omar, another issue to complain about Humberto Ramos’ art. Get over it Omar, with this issue, he proves he deserves to be on this book, cartoony or not.
The fight begins! Wham bam thank you ma'am! Wolverine is the best at what he does, and what does he do? Marc Guggenheim finally says it aloud even though we all know it. "What I do best... is killing a whole mess of people." Naked Wolverine (his clothes were burned off) kicks Nitro's child killing ass, his parts playfully hid by shadows, and also faces off with that weird surfer we saw in the last issue. Nitro tells Wolverine that he never had the power to blow up that big before (this true? anybody?) and that at the time, he was on MGH, mutant growth hormone, which was given to him. Given? There is something far bigger going on here in the Marvel U that the main Civil War book is letting on. What is that blade that Nitro is holding on the cover? All I'll tell you is that it is Atlantean in origin. Read the book. An essential part of the Civil War storyline, which is delivering every week (for me anyway), this book gets a B.

Evilomar's take on it:

I'm not sure what it is about this book but I'm really digging it. I'm not even minding the Ramos over-the-top artwork. The story is solid; of course letting some things slide such as the very clichéd dialogue at the beginning inspired by old Claremont no less. Now I am totally ignoring what occurred last issue, because this issue was just too fun to prejudge. Overall I'm with Knightwingbk and giving this issue a B. Unlike some of the Civil War tie-ins this one is not to be missed! Thank you Mr. Guggenheim for a good Wolverine story, I'm not sure whose idea it was to keep you for only 6 issues. Don't get me wrong, I love Jeph Loeb (mainly at DC), but I don't really want to read Wolverine: Adamantium (the story of lost friendships between Sabretooth and Wolverine!) Okay I made the name up, but we all know Loeb loves to have those flashback issues.
