Wolverine #6 - "The Madripoor Job, Part One"

[arbre_rieur]

"I love how [Madripoor] became a repository for everything mad and exotic, a kind of summation of foreign parts. I've made it madder than ever, with geography and even speech breaking down, as a result of various science fictional things that have happened there." -- Paul Cornell











Logan's crew track down the current holder of the mystery object:

And Logan eventually pisses it all up......*yawn*


Oh hey, Pete Wisdom! Yaaay!

A perfectly solid plan, requiring Wolverine to do one, relatively non-dangerous thing.

And he chucks it out a window the moment he has a shot at Sabertooth.

Is Logan trying to make sure none of the good guys will ever work with him again?

[dcbanacek]

What did you expect when they gave a job requiring finesse to a guy who has SERIOUS anger management problems?

[flint_marko]

he doesn't actually, because some monkeys steal the thing from sabretooth before he can do anything

[icon_uk]

A better question would be why any of them thought he might do it this time.

[freezer]

My guess? They wanted Wolverine on their side and where they could find him, rather than leave him loose to gut the wrong mook or smash through the wrong window.

I thought Dane Whitman was from Massachusetts. The AVENGERS ESSENTIALS say as much.

[espanolbot]

He's from the States, but he's gotten a UK citizenship thingy due to him living here now or something. Like what Blade has, but in reverse (He's English, but lives primarily in the US).

It would make a GREAT sitcom about an international exchange program.

(Cue excited synthesizer music)

"HE'S a vampire from England who hunts his own kind, HE'S a modern day knight from New England who uses a cursed sword from the Middle Ages. When they trade places... ANYTHING could happen, and probably will on Knight and Daywalker! Coming this fall"

So Tyger-Tiger is no longer in charge of Madripoor as seen only a couple of months ago in Wolverine?

[akodo_rokku]

That was in Savage Wolverine I believe, which is basically the "who needs continuity?" series ala Adventures of Superman.

Geez this art is so 90s Xtreme!!! bad, and is such a downgrade from Alan Davis in the previous volume.

[rbenchley]

The art is pretty bad, but 99.9% of artists would be a downgrade from Alan Davis. There are only a handful of comic book artists that are in his league.

[nate_abril96]

True.

[lilacsigil]

Yeah, it's not just 90s bad but really inappropriate for the story.

[sianmink]

We have been surprised! AIEEE!

[skemono]

Wolverine can smell Sabretooth? Does Wolverine still have an enhanced sense of smell? I thought that was a side-effect of his healing factor, which is shut off now.
