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
