SWORD art: Oh, it wasn't just Hank, though the way he was drawn was definitely not my favourite, but also details like no more lines under Brand's eyes (and I always thought it was a great touch Cassady gave her those - she has a tough job and a hard life, and she's not supposed to look like an 18 years old). At the end, though, I had accepted it as part of the deal and was okay with it. Can't imagine this being the case for Andrews.
Re: in particular people claiming with some justification that the "all African leaders go nuts in the end" line is racist: yes, though ic for Logan. If Scott or Hank or, heaven help us, Storm had been saying the line I would have thought we're meant to see it endorsed by the narrative as well as the speaker, but I didn't see it that way with Wolverine. (BTW, leaving aside real life, racism and the long and diverse history of African countries - and the issue via the Storm and Cyclops discussion pointed out the white/American fallacy of seeing "Africa" as a single unity instead of a continent full of different countries - , the fact that Ororo's husband is an African leader within the Marvelverse is already a contradiction Hisako would be aware of.
