About the author
Jason Aaron
2,346 books1,703 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

Dos historias de Wolverine que resultan bastante entretenidas y que se leen de un saque.
La primera, tira más para un relato de espionaje con muchas idas y vueltas y dibujada por un Ron Garney en su mejor momento.
La segunda historia es una especie de cuento de terror con sangre, tripas y mucha mala leche, que no se entiende hasta pasada la mitad y se explican un par de cosas que nos ponen en tema. Dibujada por Yanick Paquette, dibujante que siempre disfruto mucho pero creo que este fue uno de los pocos laburos que hizo para Marvel.
En fin, unas buenas historias para pasarse el rato. Eso sí, el que espera grandes destellos de genialidad o profundidad puede prescindir de ellas. Pero si se quiere leer algo con buena acción y mucha patada y piña, es ideal.

Torniamo al buon Wolverine. Queste due storie mi son piaciute meno di Nemico pubblico.
La prima più o meno si salva, con Wolverine che cerca di distruggere chiunque voglia rimettere in piedi il programma che l'ha creato. La seconda, per quanto abbia apprezzato tutto il sangue che grondava dalle vignette, era molto più assurda. Ma l'assurdo quello che non mi piace.
Il prossimo volume sarà dedicato a Hulk rosso. Vedremo!

El último cómic del mes, para terminarlo bien.
Estoy bastante segura de que Wolverine se ha convertido en uno de mis mutantes o "superhéroes" favoritos, aunque no creo que sea el termino correcto para catalogar a Logan, aun así, es uno de los personajes de la Casa de las Ideas al que más cariño le he tomado.
Este cómic tiene dos arcos argumentales principales, los cuales me gustaron bastante. La primera de las historia nos muestra a Wolverine en las selvas colombianas (que le quede claro a todo mundo que acá no todo es selva, ¿eh?) tratando de detener una especie de conspiración que prentende traer de vuelta el antiguo Proyecto de Arma X, aquel que dio vida al Lobezno que conocemos. Y el segundo nos muestra lo que ocurrió después de la primera historia.
Y me ha encantado, mucho, siento que esta mini-serie, junto con Wolverine: Origin, son mis cómics favoritos de Lobezno, y son un magnifico material para una adaptación. Especialmente el segundo arco argumental, donde podemos ver una faceta de Wolverine distinta, no vemos al tipico personaje que conocemos, el cual es inquebrantable y uno de los buenos superhéroes, no, acá conocemos un hombre con muchas, muchas devilidades, y esto es algo que me ha encantado un montón, porque nos recuerda que todos aquellos que conocemos como "superhéroes" por más de que sean mutantes, o superhumanos, al fin y al cabo son humanos que sienten, que sufren.
Esta es la esencia de todo el cómic, ¡buenisímo!

Wolverine deve essere violento. Non necessariamente un sadico, ma uno che non si tira avanti di fronte al sangue. Aaron, nella sua gestione di Logan, lo ha capito. Magari le storie sono un filo troppo veloci, soprattutto la prima, ma comunque meglio qui che negli episodi degli Xmen dove il mutante è costantemente tenuto a bada e castrato e deriso. Secondo arco narrativo davvero ben fatto, anche se davvero horror (fa un certo effetto accostare la marvel a una storia del genere, un effetto non spiacevole)
