706. Uncanny X-Men vol 1 #212 ... #mutants ... #rogue ... #Sabretooth ... #wolverine ...

[This is reviewed and posted on 5th February 2018]

The pace of action doesn't let up and while Wolverine's popularity is on the rise, the creators at Marvel definitely need to cash in on him by putting him on the cove and even blatantly state this is round 1 although round 2 is not so clear as future fights are not clearly labelled as such

However, here we see the X-Men who are in serious injury being treated while Wolverine decided to return to the tunnels to take revenge or rather avenge those injured and dead and supposedly take back one person alive for questioning on why the Marauders do what they did. Like most of the storylines back then, it seems as if monthly is not enough for Claremont as he has so many ideas bursting at the seams that he will follow up maybe months or even years later

Which means in this issue that as Wolverine journeys to the tunnels, who he encounters is only 1 person - Sabretooth and regardless of their fights, he could not bring down the 'tooth and left with a stalemate because he decided to rescue and bring back the Morlock healer (to help the many injured in the X-Mansion)

On other fronts, we see a Storm running away from the Mansion as the realization hit her that she has too big an ego daring to lead both X-Men and Morlocks while actually being a poor leader. She doesn't give a damn to the Morlocks letting them do whatever they want until something like this happens. And as for the X-Men she took them down to rescue the Morlocks without bothering to even plan for a fight with the Marauders ... which is actually a great bit on this storyline, truth be told, as it shows maturity in the thinking instead of just slam and punch and moving on ... however, the tying up is kind of lame with Rogue giving her a quick talking to and she pulls herself together ... ugh!

Ratings: 7/10
