Can Quentin Quire keep Wolverine and Armor stuck in his construct while trying to stay awake? Whatever happened to Wolverine's body?
The Good
I was a bit curious, with the last issue, to see how this story could be drawn out to 5 issues, and it's starting to become clearer and clearer. This story continues to stay interesting, and the focus is less on Wolverine and Armor being held captive. It's more about Quentin being able to control the world he's created. I'm a big Quentin Quire fan, and I love a good story, especially when written by Brian Wood, that focuses on him because he's a stand-out character that I think deserves a bit more spotlight.
Love the art in the Construct World by Mark Brooks. At times, since more people than Brooks were involved in the construct world art, it was a bit sloppy, but the overall style was very nice, and it reminded me of the first arc of the Jason Aaron. It was bold, crisp, and clear, even if their were some minor consistency issues.
Beserker Wolverine? Yes please! I have no clue why I am excited for the reappearance of this part of Wolverine's persona, but I am. Now that his mind is locked in the world of the construct, Beserker-mode awakens, and he's not happy. Basically, he wants Quentin's head on a pike, and that's a piece of this story I can't wait to see play out.
The Bad
The real world artist was Dan Brown, and I wasn't the biggest fan of it. However, it's insanely more consistent than the Mark Brook and others art in the Construct World. The colors were pretty cool, but the who real world looked like it should have been the dream/construct world. It feels like the art should be flipped for this book.
The Verdict
I'm really enjoying this mini-series thus far. It's exciting to see Quentin be the star of this book because he's an incredibly cool character, although at times he's annoying and whiny, like most teenagers. Although the Construct World art lacked consistency, I still loved it, but I wasn't too into the real world art and I felt like the two should have been switched around. I recommend this series and this issue.
