Product Description: The feral X-Man fights along in four standalone stories! In The Package, Logan must escape from an army of savage killers Deep in the heart of war-torn Africa - with a baby strapped to his chest! The infant daughter of an overthrown monarch is the only hope for a country's future, and the conquering warlord is determined to see her dead. Can Wolverine get her to the border alive? Or will his greatest failure doom an entire nation? In Better To Give, a heavily armed suicide cult - clad in elf outfits - has taken hostage a mid-Manhattan department store on Christmas Eve and is threatening to blow the place sky high. Among the shoppers: Logan, who's just itching to sink his (Santa) claws into someone after enduring the Yuletide rush. Should be easy for a damn-near invulnerable force of nature to save the day, right? Think again. All is not as it seems, as a spoiled billionaire's daughter is about to find out, and the true meaning of Christmas will be spelt out... in blood. In The House of Blood and Sorrow, Wolverine lies at the edge of death in a rural Nebraska cornfield after crashing to Earth in the wake of a clash with a giant robot at the edge of the atmosphere, lapsing in and out of a coma as his body desperately tries to heal. And that's when things really get bad. The men who sent the robot to destroy Wolverine have come to finish the job. The townsfolk who witnessed the crash have gathered up a mob to hunt down and destroy the alien that's landed. And Wolverine's fate just might rest in the hands of the strange little girl who first found him in that dark cornfield. A strange little girl with an affinity for taking care of odd creatures - and whose family holds a deep, dark secret hidden from the light of day. And in "The Healing," Logan lies gutted in a Northwest forest, surrounded by wolves and clinging onto hope and sanity as his body goes about the complicated work of repairing itself. It's not as easy as you might think. Collects Wolverine #41 and #49, Giant-Size Wolverine #1 and X-Men Unlimited #12
Not enough material to fill a TPB First off, X-men Unlimited #12, shouldn't even count as an issue. It's literally 6 back-to-back pages long, the art sucks, and nothing happens. So, you're really paying for two normal issues and a double size issue. Giant-Size Wolverine #1 may be enjoyed by a select few, but I didn't enjoy it that much. The art wasn't very good, and the plot was like that of a bad horror movie. Wolverine #41 has a simple art style relying on a couple color hues in each page, but it fits the plot well, which consisted of Wolverine rescuing a baby from a hostile African country. Wolverine #49 is a strange but enjoyable story, probably because there is a normal bodyguard fighting alongside Wolverine, and just thinking about how sweet it would be to assist Wolvie makes it work. The final panel alone makes the read worthwile as well.
Overall, this TPB is very short. The two normal Wolverine issues are neat, but the other two issues are rather lacking. The art isn't that great either. If you need lush, detailed illustrations in your comics, you won't enjoy this collection. The stories within are pretty dark though, even for Logan's standards, and may be worth a peek if that's your cup of tea.
4 different shorts worth the price Great reading, great art too bad you read it all in one sitting making you want more.
good story typical wolverine come on give us wolvie fans more death more brutality this did'nt satisfy my bloodlust.
