Wolverine Vol. 2: Killable

The second volume by Paul Cornell on Wolverine is the end to the fifth series but this is just the halfway point before we get to The Death of Wolverine.  I must say I really liked this volume compared to the previous one.  This book takes Logan back to his childhood home to face his greatest enemy.  I like the fact that Logan is disturbed by his mortality but still feels the need to rush into situations without regard to his own safety.  I like the way everybody is treating Wolverine with kid gloves; its like he just found out he has cancer only its different.  I wish the symbolism of the sword played out differently.  Sabretooth's team is bad-ass there is no other way to put it & I hope they become a bigger force to be reckoned with.  I really like smart mastermind Sabretooth & I am really looking forward to what is done with him once Wolverine dies.  Who will he go up against similar to the way Norman Osborn went from being a Spider-Man villain to an Avengers villain.  This book is also a time team up between Logan & Kitty Pryde.  It showcases how their mentoring relationship has changed over time.  I also like the pairing of Storm & Wolverine as a couple, she is a great rock for him to cling to as he goes through this trial.  I think it would have been really cool if Sabretooth or Mystique were responsible for bringing the virus out of the micro-verse that took Wolverine's healing factor instead of them utilizing the opportunity for their own gains.  It would have made them even more diabolical & brought them up to big bad status for the whole Marvel Universe
