Death of Wolverine #2 (of 40

   For a series that wears its crassly commercial concept on its sleeve (or at least its title), Death of Wolverine is actually an entertaining comic.

   It doesn't hurt to have excellent artwork by Steve McNiven, who crafts an amazing world (and an impressive disguise for Logan).

   Wolverine is forced to travel to the other side of the world to confront his old enemy Viper, and the trick he uses to gain an audience with her is a clever one.

   There he'll meet more than one old foe and/or friend as the noose is drawn tighter around his now-vulnerable existence (thanks to the loss of his healing factor).

   It's a violent, brutal but clever story. Wonder how it'll all wrap up?
