This is really too bad. All the mood and darkness in the previous volumes is gone. This was a really interesting character piece and now, with this and last volume, it's just an exercise in fights and dialog beats we've seen before a hundred times.

I imagine Jason Aaron laughed to himself at the jokes in this volume, like the repeated joke that Wolverine hates ninjas. Ha. Ha. But they all thud to the page in this thoroughly bad rehash of every Wolverine goes to Japan storyline written by White Guy Writers.
This time Yukio is in a wheelchair but she still wants to bone Wolverine because she still feels some things below her waist. Ha. Ha.
The writing is excruciating. Partly because Aaron is a great writer, and he must have been having fun writing this book but boy oh boy did it not translate to me enjoying reading it.

Reading this all I could think the entire time was, "Nah, Jason Aaron didn't write this." Aaron's work is normally tight, well-defined, and overwhelming. Here, its a muddled mess. The idea of Wolverine going back to Japan to deal with some lingering issues since the Red Right Hand is great but how this breaks down is pretty dismal. Too many villains doing too many stupid things. A bunch of random, off-panel crap is disturbing. The art was.....insanely bad. Not individually, although not all was good, but there were nearly a dozen pencillers. Page to page, a completely different tonal feel. Editorially, it makes more sense pushing the issues back than have this mess. Overall, a huge let down.

Poor sorry line and although I like Adam kuberts style I really dislike the other artists. It does however set up some interesting future threads though so I'm keen to see what happens next especially with the hell fire club.

Such a fun last story. Wolverine fighting ninjas and Yakuza and Sabretooth and a new Silver Samurai for not much reason? Count me in.

It is always good to have Logan in Japan. But this book is inconsistent enough that it is just irritating. In between some interesting character relationships it is just loads and loads and loads of wholesale slaughter - whether from Mystique or Sabertooth or Wolverine. This could have been better. This should have been better.
