Wolverine: Three Months to Die Vol. 2

This final volume of the sixth series of the Wolverine title is little lack luster in climax of this complete arc that was started back in the first volume of the previous series.  I do like the fact that James is a double agent playing a criminal organization, forsaking the X-Men & the Avengers all while undercover with S.H.I.E.L.D.  Touted as the final Wolverine story simply doesn't make sense when there is still the Death of Wolverine story to get through.  I really liked the annual story titled Wolf & Cub which showcases Wolverine & Jubilee camping in the wilderness this one issue is a better read than most of Paul Cornell's run in my opinion.  This annual perfectly characterizes Logan's relationship with Jubilee & is truly a work of art to see how it matured over the years through all they have been through.  Don't get me wrong I feel that Cornell hit some truly wonderful character moments in his four volumes that he has had on the character, but compared with the unevenness of his writing throughout the series his run is still below the bar set by either Jason Aaron or Mark Millar.  The one thing I really loved about Cornell's run is using Creed as this big kingpin of crime & his downfall is such a shame because is seems that Sabretooth is truely his own worst enemy.  It stays true the character but falls short of the growth that I wanted to see in him.  I now eagerly await the release of the Death of Wolverine.
