Wolverine Omnibus, Vol. 1

I have changed my diet and exercise regularly so I can slowly turn my body into wolverine's. Buying the omnibus was an obvios step in my obsession.


Wolverine Vol. 3: Return of the Native

weapon x is on logan's tail again and this time sabretooth is after wolvie again plus we meet the native another experiment of the weapon x program we find out that wolvie and the native were lovers and after a reunion wolvie impregnates the native while weapon x capture her take her unborn seed and sends it somewhere then creed and logan fight again extreme violence but then creed kills native another love of logan's who gets offed good story.


Wolverine: Weapon X, Vol. 1 - Adamantium Men

Jason Aaron absolutely nails Wolverine's character. Plot is well paced, with enough action and character moments to keep the story flowing nicely. The art by Ron Garney is fantastic. If you're a Wolverine fan, or even have only a mild interest in the character, definitely pick up this excellent example of a great comic.


Wolverine: Old Man Logan

The work is very well written. Unfortunately the graphic novel does date itself with XBox references; however, this may work in its favor as a piece of nostalgia in later years when the entire Wolverine catalog is collected. Only serious drawback I see is that Mysterio has never shown the level of power manifested in this book in any other incarnation of said character. Overall, brilliant and the dirty, dirty secret which prevents Logan from initially popping his claws will potentially bring tears to your eyes. Lastly, I love the tie in and continuation of the Marvel Civil War storyline. PS: Artwork was drawn in a very contemporary construct, yet beautiful enough to make you stop and collect it in your mind.


Wolverine: Weapon X, Vol. 2: Insane in the Brain

As a Wolverine fan this TPB is a definite "must have" for all Wolverine collectors and fans of his comics and history. Great story! Full of graphic scenes, suspense, action and intrigue.


Daken: Dark Wolverine, Vol. 1 - Empire

To start off, I didn't know who Daken was until I read the Dark Avengers Omnibus and Siege. But I fell in love with him right from the get go. I knew he wasn't just another "Son of a superhero turned evil" as Ultimate Captain America's son was. While Daken's future goals aren't clearly defined in any of these issues, I expected this. As the first three issues in this HC are apart of the Wolverine Goes To Hell storyline that crosses over into Wolverine Vol. 1: Wolverine Goes to Hell and X-23, Vol. 1. Issue #4 involves Daken visiting his old friends, The Fantastic Four, in order to get a new weapon. Daken's character shows with him talking with Mystique (Before being attacked by a demonic Wolverine) and overtly flirting with Johnny Storm. Overall, I recommend this volume to anyone who is new to the Marvel Universe or a fan of Dark Avengers.


New X-Men Omnibus

First off, the presentation of all of Morrison's issues here in this hardcover edition is very well-crafted. Marvel has provided quite a bit of bonus material including scripts, unused art, the "Morrison Manifesto" and an introduction by Mike Carey. As for the stories themselves, the arc consists of about 42 issues, and is as well-executed and thought provoking as any X-men run in recent memory. (I hesitate to say "EVER" because comics were quite a different animal in the late 70s/early 80s when Claremont & Byrne were doing their thing.) The one drawback or advantage, depending on your personal taste, is that the artwork varies over the course of the book; the product of different artists being utilized throughout. I personally did not find this detrimental; it was nice to see characters/situations presented in different styles while retaining the narrative voice. This collection is a breath of fresh air from one of comics' most distinct talents helming one of comics' premier series.


Wolverine: Wolverine's Revenge

Collects Wolverine #10-16 (2010)If you haven't picked up any of the current run of Wolverine under the fantastic writing of Jason Aaron, now is the time to see the Wolverine at his grimmest, most fatalistic, and most human. Wolverine's soul has been sent to hell, and the X-men fought Wolvie's demon possessed body to a stand still. In the issues collected here Wolverine sets out to get revenge on the mysterious Red Right Hand group that has caused him so much grief lately. However Wolverine's revenge is part of the Red Right Hand's own plot for vengeance. And without giving too much away the Red Right Hand's plot is consumed by Daken's own daddy issues.Issues 10-14 are a brutal roller coaster of unfolding revenge plots. Under a lesser writer's direction these plots could have been soap opera-esque. However, Aaron's writing makes these issues open up like an Alfred Hitchcock plot at it's best. These issues work brilliantly and were a lot of fun to read.Issues 15-16 offer a story of penance and ultimately of redemption. And if you thought wolverine was good at killing: you have to see how good he is at punishing himself. These issues featured a great selection of Wolverine's friends summing up in a couple sentences who Wolverine is. I laughed a lot at Namor and Emma's comments.In addition to shifting plots, issues 15-16 also change artists. Issues 10-14 are penciled by Renato Guedes. This is phenomenal, dark, detailed work. You can really look in the characters' eyes and read pain…


Wolverine: The Reckoning

This is without doubt the best Wolverine book I have read since Enemy of the State. It's a must purchase for any fan.


Wolverine: Origins Volume 5 - Deadpool (v. 5)

What's good: 1. Deadpool. He's awesome, and has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, which keeps it entertaining. 2. Overall the artwork was pretty good* (see what's not so good) 3. Storyline wasn't very involved, but it's mostly just one long fight scene, so that's good. 4. Great fight scenes. 5. Did I mention Deadpool? What's not so good: 1. Wolverine is drawn like a pansy. He actually reminds me of Daniel Dreiberg / Nite Owl from the Watchmen for some reason in this. 2. Okay, not THAT big of a deal but it irked me the whole way through. Wade Wilson has BROWN eyes. Even says so on the Marvel website. Brown. Not blue. I liked the way he was drawn in Cable & Deadpool a lot more (sort of Vin Diesel and Freddy Krueger merged to become a volcano of mantastic mayhem). In this he looks...a little like the Thing, at least bone structure-wise. 3. Wolverine's lame son. Once he comes into it, it kinda goes downhill. In fact, were it not for his lame son, I might have given this 5 stars. Still, I highly recommend it, and I did really enjoy reading it.


Wolverine: Snikt! (Wolverine Legends)

This book was done by renowned manga artist Tsutomu Mihei, and he has delivered an excellent and beautiful piece in his own twisted style. True, the story is thin and there is very little text to read, and yes Wolverine is portrayed as lanky- but if you're a fan of BLAME! or Tsutomu's other work, Noise, Or you just enjoy dark stylized artwork- you'll love this book as much as I.


Wolverine Classic, Vol. 1

Following his short anthology story in the first 10 issues of Marvel Comics Presents (also in TPB form as Marvel Comics Presents: Wolverine), we see Logan continue his adventures in Madripoor with his supporting cast of Lindsay McCabe and former Spider-Woman Jessica Drew. Unlike today's Wolverine stories, these aren't your "blood n' guts/grim n' gritty" stories. Dark, yes. But they maintain that the medium of a super hero comic. Collects Wolverine #1-5 by Chris Claremont & John Buscema. Cheap and affordable.


Wolverine: Weapon X, Vol. 2: Insane in the Brain

This is a great book for any Wolverine or X-men fan. I will say it's probably not going to be the best gift idea for a younger graphic novel reader just because of it's graphic content (no pun intended). But definitely a good book.


Wolverine, Vol. 1

Jason Aaron really tells some exciting, fun, entertaining and intense wolverine stories. I hadn't read any of his Wolverine work before the release of this Omnibus, but the great stories in this collection got me hooked and I had to follow his work into the next two volumes of his Wolverine run (Wolverine goes to Hell, and Wolverine vs the X-men). There are some great stories and great villains in this book, and I was very entertained throughout. The action is intense, the pacing spot on, the villains interesting, threatening, and (in one case) creepy, and the stories both serious and fun. The art is (mostly) very well done as well, with a few different artists who do a nice job telling the stories. The coloring is also great throughout, and does a nice job of enhancing the art. Overall, I enjoyed the heck out of this book.


Wolverine: Enemy of the State

Greg Rucka's run on the relaunched solo Wolverine title had it's share of up's and down's, and upon his departure after signing an exclusive deal with DC, Marvel enlisted Ultimates scribe Mark Millar to take over the book and inject some life into it, and boy does he. Beginning with an investigation that leads to the discovery of an alliance between Hydra, the Hand, and an organization called the Dawn of the White Light. This alliance has a grand scheme, and Wolverine is in the center of it as he finds himself being captured and obeying the voice in his head: telling him to kill. Soon, Nick Fury, Elektra, and the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. are on his trail in an attempt to bring him down as a brainwashed Wolverine sets his sights on taking down the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Elektra, and even his fellow X-Men. The surprisingly edgy storytelling by Millar is a welcome addition to the character, while the pencils by the great John Romita, Jr. with inks by Dark Knight Returns inker Klaus Janson give Enemy of the State an awesome look. If you missed out on the single issues and you're a Wolverine fan, definitely pick this up, and by the time you get to the last page, you'll be salivating to see what happens next.
