- Awesome Art: The entire story is done by Steve McNiven, so this is a given.
- Crosses the Line Twice: Red Skull's last words before Logan chops his head off? "Don't make me laugh. You haven't got the guts."
- Ensemble Dark Horse: Why yes, the Venom symbiote T-Rex is what most people remember about this series, why do you ask?
- Heartwarming Moments: Rare in this series, but between Logan and his daughter Jade.Logan: I love you, baby girl.Jade: I love you too, Pa.
- Moment of Awesome: Many, but highlights include:
- Logan killing Red Skull (with Captain America's Shield no less!)
- Logan escaping the White House with the Iron Man suit.
- The rampage against the Hulk Gang.
- Hawkeye killing things despite being blind.
- And on the villains' side we have Mysterio, a villain who was mostly considered harmless if he wasn't backed by a team, being responsible for the death of all the X-Men and for completely breaking Wolverine for 50 years. Horrifying, yes, but also a very big accomplishment for a "harmless" villain.
- The Venom symbiote merged with a Tyrannosaur. Nothing else needs to be said. Except for its battle with Black Bolt.
- Moral Event Horizon:
- Bruce Banner's FaceāHeel Turn began with the conception of the Hulk Gang.Banner "Who else was I gonna mate with besides my first cousin? Jenny She-Hulk was the only woman out there who could take the damn pace!"
- In the backstory we have Mysterio tricking Wolverine into slaughtering the other X-Men, then dropping the illusion just in time for Logan to see and hear Jubilee, the X-Man he's always been closest to, gasping out her final words. Damn.
- Bruce Banner's FaceāHeel Turn began with the conception of the Hulk Gang.
- Nightmare Fuel: A... rather a healthy amount:
- There's a city made out of Giant Man's corpse.
- Mysterio tricking Wolverine into murdering the entirety of the X-Men. Given that he's widely considered an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain, it's pretty stunning.
- Red Skull apparently killed Captain America by popping his eyes.
- The entire Hulk Gang in general, especially their conception.
- Hulk himself is terrifying. All his morality and sanity have been destroyed, leaving him a gleefully homicidal rapist.
- One-Scene Wonder: Mysterio appears once for about four panels total, but what he does in those four panels... holy shit...Mysterio: My name is Mysterio, master of illusion. My thanks on behalf of the criminal community.
- Squick: In this universe a trio of redneck Hulks rule over the West Coast. The implication is that the Hulk raped Jennifer (alias She-Hulk) and had children with her (his first cousin) because she was the only one who could "handle" having sex with The Hulk.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: A future where supervillains have conquered America and the heroes are all but extinct....but the story focuses entirely on Wolverine's journey rather than exploring how America as a whole was affected by this.
