Excellent. Really liked it, even the story is a bit complicated and at moment confused...

Superhero comics are not known for their long-term character arcs and development. So when Marvel finally let Wolverine regain his memory post-House of M, I cheered. The quarter century of memory implants, trying to remember, trickery of all sorts, and general sloppiness was at an end. While I have incredibly mixed feelings about some of the actual revelations about the origin itself, the fact that Marvel finally let the character really and truly grow and change was a big deal.
All of that preface to say that this book is a big step backwards on that front. Back to implanted memories, recollections of things that didn't happen...all that '80s and '90s stuff that made Wolverine so intriguing at first and tiresome 10 or 20 issues later. I don't care about Romulus (although I'm glad we finally get a Remus to go with him), and I've always thought he was introduced just to have someone to blame 25 years of lazy writing on. So I wasn't exactly itching for a return, however brief, of this incredibly generic bad guy.
But, oh man, Bianchi's art is gorgeous! The lush tones, the beautiful layouts. So awesome. I was sad to see the second half of the book, done a few years later, was drastically simplified. A real step down in quality.
All complaints aside, this is an ok book. It's entertaining and has some good moments. There is, obviously the Key Thing that happens (and then is undone). But, while this would have a been a very good book in 1995, things have changed since then.

Of course! I knew this book would be of quality with Jeph Loeb at the helm. He wrote one of my all time favorite comic books in Batman The Long Halloween. Safe to say, Wolverine: Sabretooth is easily one of my very new favorite books! It was a riveting story from beginning to end. The art by Simone Bianchi was stupendous. I’m talking Alex Ross level good at times. The action was brutal and the conflict had so much weight to the point where this book floored me. It was such a satisfying standalone book that reminds me why Wolverine is my favorite superhero ever. It encapsulates so much rich history for the character that doesn’t feel confusing, but compliments past story lines. I couldn’t get enough of it. I’m already excited to buy it and read it again. I don’t know if I can call this my favorite Wolverine book as I write this, but it’s at least a Top 2 or 3. Only time will tell, bub!

Even though Wolverine is overused and often cliche, I like the charaxter the sheer range that can be done with the "tortured past"/missing memories angle.
You get Weapon X, Origins, The End, Jason Aaron's run, Millar's run, Guggenheim, Soule, BKV, Way, Rucka, etc.
This, paired with Weapon X and the End feels like the ultra arc for the character. Romulus, Daken, The Lupines, etc makes quite a nice tapestry and legacy.

50-55, Evolution, ☆☆☆☆
310-313, Sabretooth Reborn, ☆☆☆☆☆
Having not read the issues between the two stories, I would have appreciated some form of recap summary of what had happened with Romulus since Wolverine: Evolution.

As an old X-Men Classics reader, Wolverine vs. Sabretooth's battle has been going on for ages. Purchased this volume to catch up on the changes / finality to some of the storyline. Story was good but the art was amazing.

A bloody epic about two who do it better than Batman and Joker.
Interesting take on his backstory, not my favorite but a fun read from beginning to end.

Interesting storyline, I thought we were going to finally learn the true origins of Wolverine, but instead the ending was left vague and open-ended like a Damon Lindelof story. Repetitive at times. The visuals are gorgeous and violent.

Got a bit bored with it. Read more than half.

Cool story, awesome art. Still no answers to his origin.
