Mixed bag

This collected the three Wolverine, one Black Panther, one Pulse and one Captain America House of M issues. I guess they had to put them somewhere, although I'd rather had the Wolverine issues be their own thin trade.

Anyway, the Wolverine issues were entertaining enough, but for Daniel Way that's better than his average. Of course making Wolverine a drinking and drugging guy trying to kill the pain is just silly because he'd have to drink the damn barrel, but whatever. The overall plot flipping between Wolverine and Mystique, Wolverine and Nick Fury and Mystique and Sebastian Shaw was interesting. Odd that Wolverine was almost exclusively in flashback in his own series though.

The Black Panther issue was awful. The entire idea of Quicksilver being in love with Storm is ridiculous. T'Challa should never, ever, ever say, "Like the American song says, 'You Got Me Trippin', Boo.'" NEVER. And that's just one of the awful lines throughout this issue. Don't get me started on Apocalypse commenting about building pyramids the "old school" way. Ugh. And the whole "race card" that this issue plays just comes off as amazingly forced.

The Pulse issue was pretty pointless. It was about Hawkeye realizing he was dead in the main universe and complaining to a random reporter. Nothing came off genuine though. It was all pieces of a story and nothing fully realized. I didn't read a lot of the House of M crossover books, but I'd say this is just slightly better than Black Panther in a fight for the bottom.

I read the Cap issues when my wife bought it. It was okay, but nothing great. I liked the recent 'What If: Captain America' better.
