Wolverine Origins #39 Reviewed, Behold The Face Of Romulus

G-Man reviews the issue that finally shows us what Romulus looks like.

From the grumbling I've been hearing, it doesn't seem people have been too keen on Wolverine Origins lately.  I'll admit the series hasn't totally captivated me either.  I still like Wolverine despite all the complaints that he just appears everywhere.  Given the fact that he does appear in so many titles, Origins isn't my favorite one.  If you have been reading Origins, you know that some dude named Romulus has been behind the scenes and manipulating Logan's life.  We finally get to see what he looks like in this issue.
 

  
Even though Romulus tried sabotaging my video, we finally get to see what he looks like.  As I stated in the video, I'm not really sure if I dig his look.  He should be the ultimate badass since he's been manipulating the likes of Wolverine, Sabretooth, Cyber, Omega Red, etc.  I'm also not crazy when new characters are added and then we're told that they've been a huge part of the comic's universe but we just never saw them before.  
 
What are your thoughts on Romulus?  Are you okay with him hiding behind the scenes all this time?  Do you like his look?  Does it look like he only has three fingers and a thumb?  Are you still buying this series?  Are you going to check out the next issue that will (most likely) have a fight between Wolverine and Romulus?
