After really enjoying (and being surprised that I was enjoying) the first 4 issues of the so-called "Dark" Wolverine, this issue really fell flat for me. Unlike the previous issues, Daniel Way chose not to let us into Daken's head and that left us with a boring story without any angle to hook my interest. Daken shows up, drops some poetry on us (kinda cool), slashes some faces, and then gets his ass kicked. Then we follow the four escaped characters that we have never heard of and don't care about for a while. They threaten Osborn, he counter-threatens, I nod off to sleep. I had a very hard time keeping one escaped felon from another, except for the "tough-as-nails" woman, who spends two pages pretending to prostitute herself for damaging security footage.
I suspect, based on all the previous issues, that Daken is playing another one of his games, deliberately losing the fight with the cameras running in order to foil Osborn's plans. However, I can not see even a hint of that in this particular issue, as Way took away Daken's point of view. Maybe I need to double check the art some more, but I didn't even see a brief flash of his smug grin anywhere. Way probably just wants to "surprise" us with the reveal next issue that Daken knew what he was doing all along. And maybe read together it will be more satisfying, but this issue alone shows no sign of intrigue and is therefore just a Dark Wolverine beat-down combined with the adventures of the Four Obscure Musketeers.
The art? Brown, brown, brown, brown. Terrible coloring, in my opinion. It really made the whole issue look like mud. Segovia's Wolverine drawings are still great, but his Band of Four were uninteresting and his layouts a bit erratic. But it doesn't really matter when all the artwork is drowning in brown, which took a mildly dull Daken tale and made it painful to read.
