Book Review: Wolverine: Sabretooth Reborn by J. Loeb et al.

Wolverine: Sabretooth Reborn written by Jeph Loeb and art by Simone Bianchi

Wolverine, who had beheaded Sabretooth previously, gets drawn into a scheme by another villain who wants to bring Sabretooth back to life. The trail leads to the Weapon X Project, where Logan was given claws and had adamantium bonded to his bones. There, he discovers a mysterious redhead who fights alongside Wolverine as he discovers dozens and dozens of clones of Sabretooth...an army ready to start a new empire.

This story is not really a stand-alone narrative. A previous volume detailed the death of Sabretooth, which obviously didn't last long. Without the background, the plot is still comprehensible though I didn't feel like the stakes were really high or compelling. The art is really great though Sabretooth's look is different from what I have experienced before. This book reads quickly but is a bit underwhelming.

Not recommended unless you have been in the continuity, then it might make more sense or be more compelling.
