Essential Wolverine, Vol. 7

Essential Wolverine #7

by Todd Dezago, Fabian Nicieza, Erik Larsen

Brace yourself for intense action as Wolverine faces down the Wendigo, deals with his deadly new bride Viper, is possessed by a body-hopping fugitive, and gets shanghaied into space to save an entire planet from...Galactus?! Back on Earth, Wolverine battles robots, teams up with Nightcrawler, Jubilee and Alpha Flight, and confronts the ever-incredible Hulk - but Logan isn't quite himself, and there's a more sinister reason for it than you'd think! It all leads up to the ol' Canucklehead's 25th anniversary bonanza, the twin threats of Apocalypse and Sabretooth, the identity of Death revealed...and the return of a certain unbreakable metal that's been near and dear to Wolvie since his debut.

Theres some good here, and some very, very bad. Honestly if the collection had ended with #147 I might have given it 3 stars, but 148 is the worst issue of the series to date and a horrible note to end on, and its "other worldly" story is confusing in this collection... Not that it makes much more sense in the broader scheme of its own crossover. It brings it down to 2.

I really like how fun this volume is. The storylines were really enjoyable and Logan's interactions with other characters were really well done. I loved the exploration of trauma and thought it was handled really well and with a lot of grace. The characters that had the trauma were never demonized for it and were actually treated with a lot of respect.

Copious amounts of pointy teeth, generic cyborgs and day glow colors! Welcome to the dregs of the 90's.

More macho chest-beating and pointless posturing. Yawn. I'm so glad is this the last volume of this garbage.
