For all the controversy surrounding Red Wolf when it was originally announced, it's disappointing that the actual comic is fairly unremarkable. The art and the portrayal of the title character are both solid, but with the lack of a compelling conflict or supporting cast, there's not much to distinguish this series in the All-New, All-Different Marvel lineup.
This first issue picks up loosely where the Secret Wars tie-in 1872 left off, with the Sheriff Red Wolf trying to keep the uppity citizens of Timely in line. There's plenty of the expected racial tension. Not unlike the Mark Waid/J.G. Jones mini-series Strange Fruit, the book suffers from the fact that the supporting cast is little more than a sea of generic, interchangeable, violently racist townspeople. Half the fun of 1872 was seeing familiar Marvel heroes and villains given the Wild West makeover. That element is downplayed to the point where it almost seems like Marvel wants to give the impression this book is taking place in the past rather than an alternate reality.
