Not much bang for the buck (three-issue limited series in a hardcover package) but I got this very cheap and it was rather entertaining, so I'm not complaining too loudly. Not a must-read, but not a complete waste of time, either.
These are two of my favorite comic book characters. I absolutely love the story line and these two have such great personality clashes. I can't wait to get the next one.
Creative take on these classic heroes. I love Linsner's work, and he really shines here. Great story, fun, worth reading!
[shots fired] "You might want to keep that pile of frosting you call a head tucked down." -- Wolverine"Cute . . . I'm beginning to dislike you." -- Black CatArtist Joe Linsener notes in the bonus materials section that he wanted writers Gray & Palmiotti to "come up with an action-packed story filled with snappy dialogue - lots of verbal sparring between our stars." Well, sir - mission accomplished! Taking a chunk of inspiration from Richard Connell's oft-used short story The Most Dangerous Game,...
Amusing with very nice illustrations and entertaining snark.
Utter filth. They literally say that Black Cat is only included in this book so that there's someone to ogle at. Then factor in the groping, body-shaming, racism, and so many other small things that make this a thoroughly unsatisfying experience on every single page.
Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Linsner team up to deliver a weird and wild romp through the Marvel Universe with their Claws miniseries. Black Cat is up to her classic shenanigans, escaping from the advances of Spider-Man to pull a simple jewel heist. Wolverine is attempting to fly back home to the States, encountering all sorts of difficulties with airline security due to his Adamantium skeleton. Both are targeted by a mysterious force that gasses the clawed combatants and sets them up as prey for a p...
What can I say, it was short and cheap.On the downside: This begins with a guest appearance by a supposed Spider Man. I say supposed because this guy didn't talk or act anywhere near what I consider Peter Parker. Blech. Thank goodness he's not around for long. The artwork was not all that. The artist sure liked to concentrate on women's rear ends. Interestingly, at the end of the book he says (about Black Cat) that he "wanted to downplay her bust-line". My God, if that's your idea of downplaying...
Fun and entertaining. I love felicia s costume.
This was a really fun book! My only complaint was I wasn't crazy about the artwork, and I wish it was more than just 3 issues. But overall it was very good!
Is it good in a general sense? Not particularly. But is it fairly entertaining considering the nonexistent expectations such a title begins with? Absolutely.
Weak story somewhat saved by the artwork.
omg women killing men as revenge is so sexi to me <3
Fantastic plot, story, and a great ending. Great team up choice by Marvel!
HmmmUgh. I know this was supposed to be a "funny book," but stick to the characters. Wolverine does not have super strength of a level to throw a woman 50 feet in the air, or even 12 feet. And Black Cat's powers really did not do much. This was just making fun of Logan, which happens often enough.Read this at the library, or pass on it.
A fun light comedy featuring two of my favorite favorite Marvel characters, with art by the incomparable JML. Quick banter, goofy villains, lots of explosions, and even a little romance -- what more could you ask for? I'm just sorry that this was only a three-part series; I'd love to see these two teamed up again, especially if the same creative team is involved.*Bonus points to anyone who spots the Dawn cameo!
I'm not usually one for the super hero comics but I liked this story line. It was fun without being too over the top. A lot of references to other novels.
The Simpsons are in the Marvel universe confirmed. Wolverine drinks Duff beer.
An excellent read for anyone looking for a light-hearted, comedic approach to storytelling. Unfortunately, for me, that's not why I get into the books. Even so, this one definitely had its moments, and I enjoyed Black Cat throughout. They could have done better with some of Logan's depictions and certainly chosen a better villain, not to mention a better ending with that particular villain. I also didn't care for his sidekick. But if you're looking for comedy, as my husband prefers, and like eit...
A nice basic take on the "Most Dangerous Game" story line where Wolverine and Black Cat are kidnapped to be hunted in some isolated island by rich folks. There is a nice twist when it is revealed who actually orchestrated the hunt. Black Cat really does look good in this volume (in terms of eye candy and just the overall look). The volume does include a sketchbook of the artist which goes into some of the decisions of the art. If you like the art, or you are someone who draws, appreciates drawin...
