Spider-Man/Wolverine
4: “Stuff of legends”
Script: Brett Matthews
Pencils: Vatche Mavlian
Inks: Paul Mounts
Story: well this is the big
explanation story where everything comes to a satisfying close, and in a
way it does. We learn nick fury was simply using spidey and wolverine to
stop a rogue shield doctor with a super power inhibitor. And they do it in
style by swapping costume, which was the best thing that’s happened
in this story. Oh and when wolverine got shot in the head it was actually
the neck and it wasn’t a bullet but this super powered inhibitor. And in
the end the interviewer was none other than aunt may, oh how we laughed…………
and threw the comic in the bin
The Good: less action improved this
comic, which can’t be said often. All the action rubbish was replaced
with a nice bit of government cover up intrigue, which improved the story
drastically. The costume swapping was great. And in the end this issue
wasn’t half bad
The Bad: Aunt May?????? Well I guess
we could get over that if it wasn’t for the art still being weak so I
shall simply say AUNT MAY??????

3: “Stuff of legends”
Script: Brett Matthews
Pencils: Vatche Mavlian

Story: issue 3 of this god-awful
series doesn’t help to pull it out of the gutter. Another issue, another
location, another explosion, pointless fighting, meaningless property
damage, more annoying interview, stupid wisecracks and wolverine getting
shot in the head.
The Good: I did say wolverine got shot
in the head didn’t I, but sadly even this was completely pointless and
you know he’s going to survive so its really no fun. There was some good
art in this issue but it only lasted a panel, it’s the panel where
wolverine looks through some binoculars, pretty swish.
The Bad: yet more of the same and in
this case the same is bad. It’s the same old jokes coupled with the same
awful art that just makes me miserable when I think I paid money for this
especially when there are many people submitting fan art of higher quality
than this

2: “Stuff of legends”
Script: Brett Matthews
Pencils: Vhatche Mavlian

Story: What can I say issue 2 and this
book is frankly annoying me a great deal. The story hasn’t moved on at
all, its pretty much a slow recap of this fight in last issue and giving a
tiny bit of back story about some girl, while eventually moving on to
Paris ready for next issue. The main point in this frankly pointless story
is Spidey unmasks for wolverine.
The Good: The novelty has frankly warn
off, but if I had to find anything good about this story and believe me
I’m digging deep, I would say the joking about Sue and Reed Richards
relationship. Also seeing the bullets pop out of wolverine as he healed
was quite cool. Other than that this issue stinks
The Bad: Where to start? The art is
scrappy, the cover is frankly weak and not at all what I’d use to sell a
comic with two of marvels big hitters in. Also this guy cannot draw
Wolverines face, the only time it looks good is in the close-up on page 5
apart from that its usually just a blur or some kind of feral wolf face.
The story was weak and goes nowhere with the characters digs becoming more
and more ridiculous to the point where the novelty has just completely
warn off, and we are left with a story that is basically these two
characters cracking wise about each other costumes. I mean is this what
the other issues are going to be like if so avoid like the plague. Comics
like this are blatant cash-ins. If they are good I don’t mind them but
this was so bad it made me angry, and you won’t like me when I’m
angry.

1: “Stuff of legends”
Script: Brett Matthews
Pencils: Vhatche Mavlian
Inks: Pual Mounts
Story: Issue one of the four-issue
marvel crossover featuring two of its biggest hitters Spiderman and
Wolverine. The issue starts off in the typical spidey way but is
interrupted by nick fury making him an offer he can’t refuse (by
threatening him with revealing his secret identity). This offer is in fact
a mission, which takes spidey to a remote Chinese island in order to free
a captured prisoner who just so happens to be a very rough looking
wolverine. The whole issue is told through peters narration to a
mysterious figure with an hourglass.
The Good: The story is very good, but the way in which these characters
were brought together seems a little forced, especially when compared to
the wonderful way in which spidey and wolverine were brought together in
ultimate x-men 34. the thing I do like about this story is the narration
technique and the way the artist has a good eyes for heroic poses, like
the splash page in which peter rips off his shirt, to uncover the webs
beneath. The story has promise and could work really well.
The Bad: the art is not my thing, and I can say that with no hesitation
because I know there are plenty of people out there whose thing it is. The
art is great and very nice but I just didn’t like the way the characters
looked, especially Peters hair and
Rating: good but feels a bit weird. 3 webheads out of 5
