X-Men 205: Wolf, there it is

What we learned this issue besides that I just saw that commercial about the phones where they talk about the song Whoomp There It Is.

BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH (BWS) FUCKING WRECKS HOUSE ALL ISSUE. HE PENCILS, INKS AND COLORS THE SHIT OUT OF THIS BITCH. WAY TO GO BARRY.

WOLVERINE ALSO KICKS THE SHIT OUT OF SOME TRIFLING CYBORG BITCHES.

ITS THE SAME CYBORGS THAT WERE ONCE THE HELLFIRE CLUB FLUNKIES THAT WOLVERINE RIPPED TO PIECES WAY BACK DURING THE DARK PHOENIX SAGA. WOLVERINE JUST KEEPS FUCKING KILLING THEM. WOLVERINE IS NEVER NOT SLICING UP COLE, MACON AND REESE (THOSE ARE THE CYBORG'S NAMES, FYI).

SOME LITTLE SLUT FROM POWER PACK IS ALSO THERE FOR SOME REASON.

WOLVERINE WANDERS AROUND DAZED AND MOSTLY NAKED FOR MOST OF THE ISSUE.

LADY DEATHSTRIKE (LOOK HER UP ON WIKIPEDIA, I HAD TO), WANTS REVENGE ON WOLVERINE AND SO TAKES HER TEAM OF CYBORGS AROUND TRYING TO KILL HIM. SHE IS NOT AN ATTRACTIVE CYBORG KILLING MACHINE.

IF YOU'RE WONDERING IF I ENJOYED THIS ISSUE SINCE IT WAS SO FULL OF CYBORGS: I DID!

I DIDN'T EVEN PUT A STUPID FUCKING CAPTION ON THAT SCANNED IMAGE BECAUSE IT WAS JUST THAT FUCKING BAD ASS!

SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT ALL THAT FUCKING BLOOD!

THEN WOLVEROONIE AND THE LITTLE GIRL HOLD HANDS LIKE A COUPLE OF PUSSIES.

This issue ruled for obvious reasons. The Power Pack girl was useless and Claremont's text was often pretty useless (why have someone's thoughts narrate exactly what we see on the page? useless), but its 24 pages of BWS's Wolverine fucking up gun toting cyborgs. What's not to love?

It's not really explained how Spiral magics adamantium claws and a cyborg body onto Lady Deathstrike, who I guess used to be a more normal female villain that Claremont and BWS decided they would appropriate and cyborg up for their own purposes, but she does and that's probably why Spiral exists, to magic around pesky plot points. Claremont and BWS also made Cole, Macon and Reese a lot cooler looking and ditching their allright but uninspiring Hellfire Club goon kits.

Besides the new and badder assed villains, nothing terribly significant happens in this issue. Eventually Wolverine and the kid prevail and beat the bad guys. It's never explained how this fight starts but its not really important. Or maybe it is explained and I forgot already.

Point is, Wolverine's claws go SNIKT when they extend and SNAKT when the retract.

WOLVERINE FUCKS SHIT UP. THIS IS KNOWN.
