3 Ways Death Of Wolverine Delivered (And 3 Ways It Didn't)

2. Steve McNiven's Art Was Absolutely Gorgeous

Anyone who has read Mark Millar's Civil War and Old Man Logan, or Brian Michael Bendis' Guardians Of The Galaxy series will know that these comics would not have been half as good without the contribution of artist Steve McNiven. One of Marvel's premier pencillers over the last decade or so, McNiven always brings his best to any series. He is an artist who values quality over quantity and this is backed up when you look at his career, in which he has favoured mini-series' or short story-arcs, rather than extended gigs on long-running series'. This has meant that each and every time McNiven has picked up his pencil has been an event, Marvel's equivalent of a summer blockbuster in comic book form. His work on Death Of Wolverine is no exception to the high quality output we have come to expect from him. It is just gorgeous, exceptional stuff, with an added element of grittiness befitting the character. His pencils here have more of an edge than in previous work and yet McNiven somehow manages to make even the most violent scenes look beautiful. Whenever Death Of Wolverine is undoubtedly collected into an oversized hardcover volume, it will be a wonderful tome to be able to pore over, admiring every little detail of McNiven's art.
