Far more interesting than the actual Death Of Wolverine collection, the followup gives us a few of the survivors from the Weapn X program that Wolverine was in the midst of destroying when he died.
I'm impressed that, for the most part, these Wolverine clone experiments are much more diversely powered than Sabretooth, X-23, Dakken, Lady Deathstrike, Feral, Wolfsbane, Raze, Jimmy Hudson, Honey Badger, and the friggen Hulkverine. This volume is the classic group of strangers ae put in a dangerous situation, and must depend on each other to survive trope. And also the Everyone Is Hiding Something trope. And it works. I was put off by the possible premise set forth about the lead character, but enjoyed the reveal of the twist.
While I don't think any of these characters are destined to be long term X-characters, they're a fun changeup from the stat-x quo. Although I could have done without Sabretooth's involvement.

The book was definitely better than I expected. And I bought the basic premise. And the random thrown together characters with random powers even worked. And Sharp being who he was fit pretty well. The followup stories had pretty annoying art but pretty good writing. How to honor the passing of Logan - I thought they handled that pretty well - even Cyclops didn't suck

The first 3 quarters of this was a boring story about weapon x escapees. Which if that were the whole book I would have rated this 2 stars. That last quarter was about people mourning Logan.

I had so many feels over the last story. Curse my Scogan shipping! Seriously though the rest of this story is very great. Although why did they include the wolverine head in the mirror if he wasn't wolverine inside? Shock value. That's why.

I started out at least curious about this book, where a bunch of people with little to no memories of their former lives and no knowledge of the present except that they seem to have super abilities, break out of some sort of experimentation facility. But while their adventure has potential, their personalities are... flat. Then there's the anti-trans forced sex change that seems to have been randomly inflicted on one of the characters, and the fact that they're all sort of personality-less except for vague hints about their histories as bad guys... This book lost momentum for me before it even really got going. Super disappointed. And what was with the Star-Lord mask thing? Weird.
