(Zero spoiler review) 3.5/5
There's gold in them thar hills... but there's an awful lot of dirt as well. Far less consistent than volume 3, Wolverine omnibus volume 4 see's an awful lot of mini series, and fewer issues of the main series proper. That's no bad thing when you get the outstanding Typhoid's Kiss and Sabretooth mini. Not only that, but the six issue Savage Land run on the main series had THE worst scans I've ever seen in a Marvel omnibus, not to mention a pretty limp effort from Larry Hama to boot.
Anything here drawn by Texiera is worthy of adoration and absolutely belongs in oversized format, along with the smattering of Sam Keith brilliance, though unless you are intending to complete the Wolvie line in omnibus format, a little more caution should be used when approaching such an expensive purchase. That said, there is still more than enough 90's goodness on offer here, just don't be afraid to skip to the next story when one isn't floating your boat. 3.5/5

3.5*
Anything drawn by Mark Texeira is fantastic, and the Fatal Attractions issues were pretty great too. But otherwise the stories in this are unremarkable.

A golden age for Wolverine, ending with what at the time was a traumatic event leading to shocking revelations. A lot of crossovers with other gritty characters, deep explorations of his past, some exotic adventures. We even find Sabertooth’s miniseries establishing a few relationships that will be important in the future of X-men. The end of Wolverine as we had known him for decades, before a somewhat controversial chapter that will be developed in the next omnibus.

As with volume 3, the Larry Hama stuff is much more solid than the weird little Marvel Comics Presents stories or the one-shots, but even that's a little bogged down in byzantine black-ops false-memory stories. It shines in stories about Wolverine and Jubilee, and the last part of the whole thing is the Fatal Attractions story of losing the adamantium, which is iconic for a reason. But the omnibus as a whole felt like paying full price for the third of it I liked.

This profusion of minis and spinoffs is peak Wolverine mania. Sometimes it's a cool look at how a new artist would tackle our gritty hero. Sometimes it's a Larry Hama '90s fever dream with guns bigger than your torso and lines like "Let's take him to claw city!" Just take it as it comes.

As of 2024, the last volume of Wolverine Omnibus is Volume 4 with Larry Hama given cover credit as the main writer of the Wolverine monthly Marvel Comics title. In all fairness, Wolverine would from time to time be published along with Marvel Comics Presents as a bi-weekly title.
The anthology includes: the Wolverine (1988) #60 - 75, Wolverine: Inner Fury (Graphic Novel or GN), Wolverine: Killing (GN), Wolverine: Global Jeopardy (GN), Wolverine and the Punisher: Damaging Evidence #1 - 3, Sabretooth (1993) #1 - 4, Spider-man / Punisher / Sabretooth: Designer Genes, X-Men (1991) #25, Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #109 - 142, and Marvel Holiday Special (1991) #2.
The book begins with a haunted Wolverine who due to the loss of another of his loves has begun to spiral down a maelstrom of depression where he self-indulgently begins to perseverate on other women who have lost their lives as a consequence of loving the adamantium wielding mutant with the healing factor. What follows is a 1000-page slugfest that knits a very bleak tale laced with some of Marvel's most popular heroes and villains.
The anthology is as great as the previous volumes, but there is an alteration of tone that is dark, shadowed, and heavy. Whereas earlier volumes emphasized Wolverine's joie de vivre (smoking, drinking, partying with women), Wolverine says he has to stop smoking and speaks about feeling his age. Wolverine has turned fuddy duddy. He sounds like me in my curmudgeon moments and that makes me sad.
Still, the writing remains strong; some of the artwork is fantastic (although emphasis is placed on the word "some"). The characters generally behave the way they're supposed to although as the collection draws to a close, a pall of tragic epiphany overshadows the climax to such an extent that the dénouement required tears as payment for resolution. Clearly, I loved it.
