Wolverine #47Issue(s): Wolverine #47 Review/plot: ![]() But the rest of the issue is about an absolute psycho that kills his mom... ![]() ...robs a convenience store and kills the store clerk and his assistant... ![]() ![]() ...and nearly runs down a kid. ![]() Wolverine confronts him (and note his completely bloodless wounds!). ![]() But the story is paralleled with a flashback where Wolverine's pet wolf got rabies, and Silverfox told Wolverine that he had to shoot him. ![]() In the flashback, Wolverine is unable to kill the wolf, so Silverfox had to. And in the present, Wolverine is unable to bring himself to kill the psycho, so a policewoman (and mother of the kid that almost got run down) has to. ![]() It's not much of a story. And Gerald DeCaire's art is, well, fill-in art. But it's interesting to see Hama creating such a heinous bad guy but still having Wolverine not able to "put him down". Compare/contrast to Tom DeFalco's Bloody Choices. Was Hama deliberately trying to dial back the use of Wolverine as a Punisher-type killer?

CommentsThe contradictions on having so many characters be at once protegees of SHIELD and also wanted criminals are quite the turn-off to me. It all began with the Punisher and the X-Men around this time. How come this stuff used to sell? Posted by: Luis Dantas | November 2, 2015 4:31 AM Luis, the X-Men were on pretty good terms with Valerie Cooper after X-Factor 70, so their wanted status was de facto eliminated after that.
