Sure we all saw that it was Wulfgar coming back, but I don't get the people out there who didn't want him back? Come on! For one thing he gives you an awesome conflict as an author (Catti-brie's choice). For the reader though, it has to be the Hammer. Aegis-Fang kicks some serious butt and in the hands of a man like Wulfgar, one can see some serious critter stomping. Sure Zak would have been cool, but who's to say he won't be back later? The main thing with Zak though is that he has been granted a peaceful rest. Drizzt has put him behind. The situation with Wulfgar and Catti-brie will make life so much more interesting. Where is the conflict if it is Zak? Then you just have two supreme drow warriors tearing it up on the surface. Where's the fun in that?
