Unlike its predecessor, Ultimate Wolverine #7 is not open with images of bloodshed, cruelty or bondage. Instead, Logan sits open on abandoned reactor in Chernobyl and holds the mask he was wearing as a winter soldier. It’s a simple image, but it speaks to volume. Despite being free from control of Rasputin and Omega Red, he is still plagued by the bloody memories he committed.
This is what makes it stand out from other Wolverine comics. The idea that Wolverine is suffering from redness is nothing new, but this is a version of a character who has not been able to properly tackle everything he did (as far as we know). Chris Condon turns out to be as skilled as dealing with emotional battles as physical ones. Logan struggles to reintegrate him into the opposition despite his open arms.
I also love Condon starting to get into some of the central relationships in Wolverine’s life, especially Kitty Pride and Sabreetooth. It is the kitten that helps Logan agree with his past actions and remind him what he is fighting for. With Sabretooth, the infamous rivalry between him and Logan comes to the forefront, but this time it’s given a much more tragic edge. Eagle-Eyed X-Fans can also be found in Earth 6160 versions of other characters. I’d like to know how they play the Ultimate Wolverine.
Amazing
Ultimate Wolverine #7 shows Alessandro Cappucchio’s return to interior art, resulting in some incredible details. You can see every ounce of regret, every ounce of rage, and every piece of resolve in Logan’s face. That’s how good Cappuccio is to draw details, especially facial expressions. Logan is no longer smoking a winter soldier’s mask, so Cappuccio compensates him by giving him a thick whisker. Not only does it help separate this version of Wolverine from its other counterparts, it also looks better. Between the ultimate Spider-Man’s Logan and Peter Parker, I’m all because more Marvel heroes have beards.
The moment of peace between Logan and the opposition is a sharp contrast to the Eurasian Republic scene, especially when Magick is concerned. I found out that this version of Illyana Rasputin also has access to Limbo. This is a convenient location for Brian Barenza’s colour art. The scene featuring Logan and his friends is full of light, but most of the scenes featuring the dawn that opens up a problem – the golden break at the dawn – the siblings of Rasputin are filled with shadows and cold steel, with only the reddish glow of hellfire providing light. Still, it is intended to be not a comfort, but a precursor to the fear that awaits you if you cross them.
The Ultimate Wolverine #7 is also a breather and a harbinger of things to come as Logan regains his memory and Rasputin prepares to move on to the attack. Wolverine may be free, but there is still a fight before him, and he is likely to pass through another kind of hell before he truly becomes free.
