About Heroes

Author: Daniel Way
Art: Steve Dillon
Colors: Avalon Studios

I give this book so much shit and probably more shit than it really deserves....NAH! But, as much shit as I give the book, I give Daniel Way twice as much more because he is writing the horrid thing. However, this issue I didn't really mind that much, hell even the art was good...but I think I know why.

I'm not sure if this is done on purpose or not, but it really feels like Way is trying to copy Garth Ennis' style of Preacher. I believe that's why the art really suited the story and I didn't realize it till the very end. Like I said, I don't know if it's on purpose, but hell just judging from a couple of scenes it is very Preacher like.

Not much happens in this issue as always. Wolverine thinks his son looks beautiful on the outside, Wolvie's son sleeps with a guy to get what he wants, and Cyber makes a triumphant return! Who you say? Cyber! I always liked the character because he always fucked with Wolverine's head and Logan didn't know what was real or not. However, I don't see the point in him coming back from the dead. He has absolutely nothing to do with Wolverine's past. Unless Origins is here to tell us stories about Wolverine's past that we have already read, except do it shittier!

As I mentioned earlier Steve Dillon art doesn't normally fit the storylines, but for some reason it really goes well with this particular issue. But if you want dark humor mixed with grotesque scenes why not just hire Garth Ennis? Like I said I really didn't mind this issue as much as the others and this is probably my highest grade I have given Wolverine Origins, but I think it's safe to give this issue a C- . Still lots of better stuff out there than this forgettable title.
