Some early adventures of Wolverine, The Best There Is does a decent job fleshing out his lost years. No mind blowing storytelling or artwork, just some fun tales, mostly for the diehard fan.
This title has transitioned from a Frank Cho showcase to more socially relevant and introspective stories set in Wolverine's pre-Weapon X past. This collection is a set of shorter stories that surprised this reader on how good it is. The the Kennedy assassination link in the first chapter came out of nowhere and is a wonderful surprise. The other stories are of similar caliber; like how Wolverine found his honor in the World War I battlefield. It's an eclectic mix of stories that a reader doesn'...
This is the last volume of Savage Wolverine, and unfortunately it's even more mediocre than the previous ones. Most of these comics wrapped up their story in a single issue, which was just too brief for them to deliver the emotional punch it seemed like they were aiming for.The nineteenth issue which featured Jubilee was something I'd purchased and read years ago, it's definitely more meaningful than the rest and leaves me with a sort of warm glow whenever I remember it since it showed Logan's t...
Ostatni tom z serii Savage Wolverine jest takim miksem różnych sałatek. Mamy tu bowiem kilka opowiadań, jakie ukazują nam Logana na przestrzeni różnych dekad i za wyjątkiem głównej persony żadna z tych historii się ze sobą nie łączy.Na początku mamy historię z lat 60. XX wieku (od Jen van Meter), gdzie Logan pomaga rozwiązać lokalne niesnaski gdzieś w Ameryce przy budowie torów kolejowych. Cieszy dbałość o detale powiązane z historią powszechną, bowiem mamy tu zabójstwo Kennedy'iego w tle. Widok...
The concept of this comic is a solid one. Short individual stories taking place at different points during Wolverine's long life. Why then have the results been so poor? Most stories can be summed up in a sentence and shed little to no light on Wolverine, the era involved, or the MU in general. Wolverine gets involved in Mexican-American civil rights in 1963, Wolverine runs afoul of Al Capone, Wolverine teams up with a telepath during WWI, all of these play out with no surprises and nothing new
For those of you who think playing Assassin’s Creed doesn’t quite give you a balanced view of history, I give you Wolverine, a guy whose healing factor let him live almost as long as Methuselah.Frank Cho kick-started this title a while ago with a fun Canucklehead adventure in the Savage Land involving Sheena the She-Devil, the Hulk and Amadeus Cho (Savage Wolverine, Vol. 1: Kill Island). Fast forward over a dozen issues and now the book is an anthology series – different writers, different artis...
Savage Wolverine, a title that only made sense in the first book because Wolverine was in the Savage Land, is now the book that’s basically a collection of “Wolverine stories set in the past because everyone in the present is pretending he’s dead”. I didn’t like the book very much but that cover of Logan kneeling and looking up at the cherry blossom tree is so pretty...Stories-wise, these are Wolverine comics alright! Wolverine fights American racists in 1963, protects Jubilee from AIM scientist...
I liked the one where Wolverine joined a Chicana biker gang, although also, what?The one where hand-wavey scientists brainwashed Jubilee into thinking she was the superhero and Wolverine was her sidekick was kinda adorbs.The WWI one was fine.The one where he got taken in by a LITERAL WOLF was mildly annoying.
Hmm.. a small run of graphic novels that were just okay.Good Wolverine stories..but.. just good.
For years, I've been convinced from the cover of the TPB that this would be a Death of Wolverine tie-in. It wasn't. I like the Latino labor strike story because it's not a story often told in comics or even about the many tumults of the civil rights era. I don't remember any of the rest.
A couple of episodes from Wolverines life. The longest is from WWI
Odd because pre-weapon X, Wolverine shouldn't have METAL CLAWS? But this massive continuity error seems to not have been picked up by anyone. The Sabertooth encounter was pretty nice though.
This volume was several shorter stories. We see a story set in 1963 at the time of the Kennedy Assassination. The story makes an attempt to be socially relevant but it was too short to get very deep.Next we see a story featuring Wolverine and Jubilee. Okay, but nothing special.Next we have a story tying Wolverine and Sabretooth into the St. Valentines Day Massacre along with Al Capone.Then we have Wolverine fighting in WWI.We close the story out with a touching tale of Wolverine being pursued by...
More adventures of Wolverine through out history. Also, biker gang Wolverine? Yes, please!
Wolverine Without Everything that Makes Him Wolverine...OVERALL RATING: 0.5 starsArt: 3 starsProse: 0 starsPlot: 0 starsPacing: 0 starsCharacter Development: 0 starsWorld Building: 0 starsWow where to start here??? This series of somewhat stand alone stories was anything but savage. All these issues are so uninspired and boring. Can see how the run was cancelled right here. Not even Wolverine's name alone could save it. Scored for the art only...
Unfortunately this is yet another mediocre Wolverine book with 5 stand alone stories:The first story is Wolverine crashes on his motorcycle in the fog and ends up in the middle of some kind of Pachuco Zoot Suit Riots and then President Kennedy dies! THE END! Seriously...that's the story. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all.The second story is unfortunately not much better and it's one of those stories that messes with your head and jumps around so much that you don't know what's real
I enjoyed the two-part story written by John Arcudi, ... but the rest, ... meh.
Wolverine as a Canadian soldier in the First World War! His lieutenant is a crippled telepath, and they have to take a German bridge. Logan's at his most badass when he's actually trying to limit the bloodshed and carnage that follows him around.The story with Jubilee was okay, too. And there was another one set in the prohibition era, this time by Frank Tieri. And Logan as a motorcycling drifter who saves protesting latinos from a riot on the day JFK was assassinated.
Some of the story in this book are not bad like the story about Logan joining the great war and when he is into the mob business with Creed becoming a mob working for capone (His mob costume is very cool IMO) and the others i didn't think they are as interesting as this two stories.Overall it's a mixed bag but i still enjoyed it.
Unlike previous volumes of Savage Wolverine, this volume is not just two story arcs, but five separate stories. Most of them are bad and don't deserve any mention. However, there is one two-issue story featuring Wolverine fighting Germans during World War 1 that is very good. The art is great and the story is fun. Probably the best story arc I have read from this title. Are these two issues justification for buying this book? No, not really.
