Since the 2023 Hellfire Gala, Marvel Comics’s Mutant nation of Krakoa has been plunged into chaos of apocalyptic proportions with the Fall of X event. With their nation gone, millions of Mutants slaughtered, and their own forces decimated, the X-Men have each experienced great loss. This is particularly true for Wolverine, who, along with Aurora, both grieve the loss of their son and the kidnapping of their daughter. Unfortunately for Wolverine, the person responsible is none other than his longtime nemesis — Victor Creed, aka Sabretooth. Freed from his Krakoan prison, Sabretooth loses no time in laying waste to his enemy’s closest friends and allies. He’s determined to land the killing blow on Wolverine and all of Krakoa. All he requires is a specific artifact. Sabretooth is prepared to go into the deepest, most heavily-guarded center of the island nation to do so. Unfortunately for Sabretooth, he has competition — the X-Men, Orchis, and, of course, the Sentinels. There’s also the burgeoning resentment of the Sabreteeth, who may already be plotting against their leader.Written by Benjamin Percy and Victor LaValle, illustrated by Geoff Shaw, colored by Alex Sinclair and lettered by VC’s Cory Petit, Wolverine #45 is the most terrifying and tense treasure hunt in recent Marvel history — but it’s also one of the most confusing, chaotic, and complicated.There are pros and cons to fitting multiple storylines into such a small issue, even in the midst of a much-longer run, which is now edging closer to its landmark 50th issue. Even when taken into context with its preceding issues, Wolverine #45 is overstuffed, overly detailed, yet at the same time oddly vague and unfocused. It’s clear that there is a lot of drama, a lot of angst and tension, and some juicy hints at betrayals and reversals of fortune — especially in this issue’s final, mind-bending sequence. Ensemble casts are a popular trend in this era of panoramic and wide-scale political dramas. However, at this point in this run, writers Benjamin Percy and Victor LaValle — with the latter especially in charge of this long comic book series — could have benefited from scaling things back. This might mean allowing a few plot threads to be put on pause and for some character groups to be neglected in the short term, but it’d be worth it.
