Awesome gritty Wolverine story I love this Wolverine story. It's gritty, dark and violent. Just like I like him. I love Sean Chen's artwork and the subdued coloring. This is Wolverine when he's "out of uniform." It gives some insight into what he does in his "down" time. Heh. The only complaint: The lame Punisher story tacked on at the end. It looks like it was drawn for Saturday morning cartoons. Didn't fit at all!!
pretty bad This is another weak attempt. Mark Millar just can't write. The story is really weak and just sucks. And what is that Punisher story in the back? Is the Punisher gay? What the hell.The Punisher deserves way better. Really reaching on this one. Stay away from this crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a good wolverine collection I found this to be a good Wolverine story. Good art. A lot of fun to read. That is until #186, which is the Punisher story that just seems to be tacked on for no real good reason (oh there is a slight connection--feeble though). And it is drawn like some (bad) Saturday morning cartoon. It's the only weakness in an otherwise good book.
A different Wolverine Story The first time I read this story, it seemed more like The Sopranos than Wolverine. I didn't know what Frank was trying to prove by this until I read a short interview by him, and he grew up near the mafia, so it kinda fit for him. Anyway, after reading it a few times, and looking through it, this is a definative LOGAN story. This isn't Wolverine the superhero, alas, you don't even see him in uniform. But it shows you what he's capable of when not dealing with supervillians, and really sets him in the world, or at least the world of organized crime. Sean Chen's artwork as usual is outstanding, and Edgar Tadeo's inks bring it a grittier feel, along with the duller colors. If you like superheros in uniform fighting for a noble cause, then I would not recomend this book. This is about a man called Logan who takes on a mafia war by force, and does what he does best. Not all that in depth, but he does kick a lot of a**. Once you realize that's what the intention of this book was, then you appreciate it a little more. And it wraps up nicely, with an ending more appropriate than most.
