    Good story, good flashbacks, meh artwork. 0

    The story here is pretty good, it introduces an important character in Maverick's stories, Elena Ivanova.

The flashbacks of Team X don't tell much new, but they reestablish some things that were already known, Creed (Sabretooth) is a sociopath, and Wolverine hesitated a lot when it came to killing innocents. My problem with this issue is the artwork. The whole issue is very dark, although that fits ...
