My only complaint is that Wolverine wears his black X-Force costume throughout most of the story, and to be honest, I'd rather not be reminded of that book's existence if and when it can be helped.

In fact, I think his recent decision to start inking his own pencils has made his work even better, and I hope he continues to do so in the future. Artist Ron Garney has always had a handle on delivering exciting action sequences, and he certainly doesn't disappoint here. There's a definite sense of equilibrium here, one that I've come across only rarely since Frank Tieri's run on Wolverine several years ago.

Whereas a good deal of writers struggle to find a balance between the human and animalistic sides of the character, often simply going with one and ignoring the other, Aaron writes Wolverine as he should be: perceptive and intelligent, but brutal and occasionally reckless as well. Just as it was in Aaron's 'Get Mystique' storyline, Wolverine's inner monologue is the driving force behind the plot.
