Reviews

[Gianfranco Mancini · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wolverine/Nick Fury: The Scorpio Connection: 4 stars

Wolverine: Bloody Choices: 4 stars

Wolverine & Nick Fury : Scorpio Rising: 2 stars

[Alex Sarll]

A collection of three of Marvel's early attempts at graphic novels, which I borrowed mainly because the first one has art by Howard Chaykin and him drawing a story in which two old badasses bicker in between blowing shit up is always fun.
Leads aside, the second story has scant connection, being rather queasily fixated on a paedophile ring (no, not the Catholic Church, the sort which actually gets shut down). John Buscema's art is at least suitably moody, but the script is by Tom deFalco! And nobody seems to have told Tom! That staccato sentences all ending with exclamation marks! Aren't very noir!
And then finally you have a sequel to the first story set in the chaos of post-Soviet Europe, which might have been OK were McManus' art not as nineties as the theme.

English (but not so good) / Italiano
Wolverine, Nick Fury… and son. Three little stories similar in some ways, in others not. Dramas that want to be sensational but lacking details and too direct approach don’t allow it. Comes out a decent volume, nothing more nothing less.

Italiano
Wolverine, Nick Fury… e figlio. Tre piccole storie per certi versi simili, per altri no. Drammi che vogliono essere sensazionali ma la cui mancanza di dettagli e un approccio troppo diretto non glielo consentono. Ne esce un volume discreto, niente di più niente di meno.

Good dose of 90s nostalgia here. Wolverine and Nick Fury doing what they do best

[Ben · Rating 5 out of 5]

the scorpio connection is great, love the art, love the james bond/60s vibe to the story

bloody choices is pretty awful

scorpio rising just feels rushed, there's nothing there

scorpio connection is worth five stars by itself, i didn't enjoy the other two at all

[Damián Vives · Rating 4 out of 5]

Panni compila en un solo tomo las tres novelas gráficas que unieron los destinos de Wolverine y Nick Furia en el final de la década de los 80 y el principio de los 90. Muchos crecimos maravillads por estas historias. En mi caso, Desiciones sangrientas, la segunda obra aquí incluída, escrita por Tom DeFalco con un marcado tono de novela Noir e ilustrada por John Buscema, fue uno de los gandes comics de mi adolescencia. Una historia impiadosa de corrupción, narcotráfico y prostitución infantil marcada por el nihilismo de Wolverine y la abnegación de Furia. Recuerdos felices!

[Paul Allard · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stories about Wolverine and Nick Fury, two involving Scorpio (in this case, Nick Fury's nephew, Mikel) and the other about as gangland boss. The Scorpio stories are about Mikel seeking revenge for the death of his father and about his return to foil a coup in his native country.

The stories are quite well-told although I am starting to get bored by too many fighting scenes (inevitable, I suppose) Some great artwork, particularly from John Buscema in the middle story.

Surpised pleassantly by the inclusion of 3 Wolverine -Nick Fury different stories. The first was as expected -- great. Howard Chaykin and gang created a story with twists and surprises. The second story features art by the great John Buscema. A meeting and team-up of two tough guys.

Contiene la trilogía de Wolverine y Fury contra Scorpio completa. Creo que tenía alguno de los números en castellano de la vieja edición de Forum.
