Wolverine: Enemy of the State (comic book)

I think the first comic book story I didn't like was Wolverine: Enemy of the State. It was bad and boring and they dragged it out with so much padding like it is never going to end.

My problem is that a TV series writer (Mark Millar) wrote it and it was written like a Tv series. Well a comic book is not a TV show. Obviously. You cannot write a comic book like a TV show because with a TV show you get an episode every week. A comic book issue only gets published monthty at best or in every second month.

Each issue of Wolverine: Enemy of the State was like a bad anime episode what has got a lot of fillers and nothing interesting happens. Well with comics you have to deal with page count, efficiency, and time compression. Which means comics should be short and sweet. Each issue has to be meaningful to the reader otherwise it isn't worth to pick up and read a comic book.

Yeah I like fight scenes too but if the story sucks there is no point. So in Wolverine: Enemy of the State the writing was bad. I also got bored with John Romita Jr's drawings. In the early 2000s they became so repetative like everything looked the same. He drew similar faces. There were only three types: a guy face, a woman face and a fat guy face.

I also realised why I hate Man of Steel and Batman V Superman because they just go on and on and on without a good story or characters in a so boring way just like Wolverine: Enemy of the State.

I like good fight scenes too as everybody else. I am a Jackie Chan movie fanatic. But you cannot have just a bunch of characters fighting with Wolverine all the time. There is no meaning behind it. You have to have soimething else too.

Wolverine: Enemy of the State lost me when Wolverine became a bad guy. A puppet. They just went for shock value to shake up stuff but it didn't end up exciting.

John Romita Jr didn't even make the fights interesting. The only good stuff was when Captain America knocked Wolverine out. I still liked John Romita Jr's style in Peter Parker Spider-Man and my all time favourite was how he drew X-Men and Spider-Man comics in the 80s.

Probably he got tired ond burned out in the early 2000s like everybody else would when you have to draw for som many comics. However I think Wolverine: Enemy of the State became really old and really fast.
