SHREWED VIEWS PRESENTS...
WOLVERINE #142

 Total guest-star hell, man. That's what this book has been reduced to. I'd prefer having Matsuda on the book, if it meant getting some Wolverine-solo stories. I mean, Yu's art ain't THAT great...his covers suck, too. I think the book has been getting so many guest-heroes only so people can see Yu's renditions of them. Anyways, this month we have a two-parter starring Alpha Flight, Modok, and Weapon X (not Wolverine, the other guy). This story finishes off what the finale of the long-departed Alpha Flight series started. Alpha Flight is looking for Weapon X and the two Hudson fellas. Wolverine helps out. Modok and AIM (Modok is supposed to be dead...but hey, this is Marvel) have them so the heroes break in to get them. One of the Hudsons is the real deal, whilst the other is a duplicate (Guardian is the real one, Vindicator the duplicate, got it?). Wolverine and AF get split up. AF is captured and Wolverine makes his way deeper into the base where he frees the Hudsons. Modok learns of what happened and send Weapon X (who's working for him) to kill them. Yawn...

I give this a 6 out of 10.
