Enemy of the State (20-31). Before Millar, Wolverine had lost a lot of his savagery. He was thoroughly domesticated, and so no longer the character that had won his popularity in the X-Men. Millar changed that with a simple twist: he made Wolverine into a villain. Now other writers, past and present, have tried this route to his little success. But Millar made it believable and total with Hand brainwashing, and the result is one of the best Wolverine saga ever. 
 Wolverine is a beast again, a force of nature. He goes toe-to-toe with Marvel's best, and even against foes like The Thing, the outcome is in question. Now you can't maintain this status quo for too long without it getting stale, and Millar knows when to stop. But then he pulls a great trick: even when Wolverine is back on the side of angels, he remains that unstoppable force of nature. It's like a trip to the dark side has returned Wolverine's essential self. 
 To a large extent this story isn't deep. But it's action-adventure at its best. I'm often not a fan of the extended battle sequences, but Millar manages to maintain their tension by creating a story of things gone horribly wrong where anything could happen. 
 And these issues also have Romita artwork to die for! [8/10]
