"I dinnae Can say" translates to "I do not can say" so either she's an idiot, or the Writer doesn't understand the accent.
Second... WildChild... I'd think he'd be a little more afraid that since Wolverine just lobbed off Sabertooths head from a Magic (or whatever) sword, he might do the same to him. Instead he says "You can TRY to beat me" Well.... if wolverine tried, lets be honest... he'd Succeed.
LOL

Third, This Romulus thing.... I can't stop thinking about Romulux when they mention his name... The character from Aquateen Hunger Force. He's a Tar Monster from some planet that has a wicked MP3 Player... so everytime I read his name I'd bust up laughing.
😂
"What this MP3 Player; you can have it, I got this grappling hook now."
"I'm just better than you."

Fourth, The MOUTH on Wolverine.... is that what makes him a badass these days? Calling people deuchbags and swearing all the time... I just don't remember it being so Vivid in Hama/Claremont's/ David's writing... so if it's done in all the other writers than I can understand it... I just won't like it.
The mouth is actually something I din't mind, I'd kind of expect an old codger who has seen and done the worst possible things to other people to talk like that, very negative, very cynical, and full o cusswords. Anything else doesn't really seem true, just campy.

Fifth, To me, Emma should have taken it better... makes her seem tame, but that's probably JUST me.
I think the violence towards women really hit home to her and made her feel vulnerable.

AWESOME COVER!!! Very classic, I dug that.
2:
AWESOME PENCIL'S AND COLORING!!! Very good.
3:
The part where Sabretooth kept trying to put his arm back on 😆:rolling:😆
That made me rich with laughter.
Agreed on all counts.

So basically (to me) everything involving the art was executed properly, and everything that had to do with the Story was a bit lacking... but again... I don't know any of the context of the story... so yeah... I could be uninformed by the bad writing.
Oh man, the writing sucked soooo bad, it was just aweful... I mean we didn't really get anything but Logan and Creed kicking the crap out of one another for 6 months.
The story really didn't go anywhere, all it did was open up a book full of questions but with no answers.
One major thing I hated was this:
Their "first fight" as presented in Wolverine vol.2 issue 10... To me what made this fight important to Logan was that it was the first fight he'd ever really got stomped in. Before that he thought he could do anything, take anyone... It was such a one sided ass kicking that he's still hurtin from it. Having Wolverine beat Creed BEFORE that and having Logan win, totally took away what that fight was supposed to represent to Logan, what Creed was suppose to represent as his mountain of a man who kicked Logan from one side of the rockies to the other. It completely trashed their story.
I'm also dissapointed that we were told we wre going to get the defnitive answer for why Logan and Creed have always had this anamosity for one another, and in the end all we got was this "well it's always been like that" sort of excuse bull-shit.
And seriously, what did we get from this?
We DON'T have anymore real insight into Logan, we DON'T have any idea who or what Romulus is or his motivation, We DON'T know why he mutated the dog girls, or had Sabretooth captured and incubated, we DIDN'T even get a real answer to explain what the deal is with this long standing rivalry between the two, not one that was worth 3 dollars a pop for 6 months straight.
Crap, total and utter crap.
