Two men, once allies, now adversaries. A man known as Logan, the Wolverine, has taken an oath to protect an innocent boy from an insatiable child molester and international criminal: the bloated human obscinity called Bullfinch. The duty-bound Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D- the most powerful secret agency in the world- has sworn to grant Bullfinch immunity from prosecution in exchange for his cartel-busting testimony. Though if an enraged Logan has his way, the vile drug smuggler will never reach the courtroom alive. These are the unswerving paths taken by two men whose vows will plunge them into a violent conflict from which only one may survive.
A grim dark storyline about Wolverine vs Nick Fury fighting for the life of a pedophile crime lord., something you are not gettin'to see in current Marvel "Disney-channel-comics for kids" line.
A real good one enriched by late "Big" John Buscema amazing classic artworks, but the Wolvie's evil brother sub-plot wad just extra-cheesy, redundant and ridiculous.
Wolverine goes up against Nick Fury when Fury protects a drug dealer who is willing to flip on the cartel. However, he's also a pedophile who abused a kid Logan tried to help putting them at odds. There's a weird subplot with a henchman who is drawn to look like Logan's beefier brother that goes nowhere. John Buscema always draws a great Wolverine.
Pretty good! So this story has Wolverine find a kid, hes been bruised and molested, wolverine then goes out to hunt down the guy who did this. Nick Fury is in it to, which was cool, I see there a lot of old wolverine comics from the 90s where he teams up with Nick Fury! Overall the art was good, and the story was overall very entertaining! They also made a reference to Batman, which i thought was quite funny!
(Zero spoiler review) 4.25/5 Don't let the criminally low score on this book fool you, this is some damn bloody and brutal stuff, not to mention little short of brilliant to boot. Wolverine tracks and deals with a gang of drug dealers and child traffickers as only Wolverine knows how. And with John Buscema on art and a really good script from Tom DeFalco, what more could you want, ya greedy bastards, you. 4.25/5
This wasn't what I was hoping for but it was good, I have always been a fan of the John Byrne X-Men Canadian Cowboy Wolverine and never got into the Frank Miller Angry Samurai version, Wolverine has more personality changes than most characters and I was looking forward to John Buscema's Version, but found something I wasn't expecting, A Frank Miller Wolverine with the Punishers Personality. I Get the persistence part, but felt like the push towards wild animal is causing too much of an I.Q. drop. Maybe I am just missing my Canadian Cowboy. Still seeing Nick Fury in action was kind of worth it. This was a good read.
Una storia dura, atipica per la Marvel di oggi, in cui si parla di pedofilia e crudeltà. Una storia nel complesso sufficiente, ma con un John Buscema ai disegni che fa faville. Lo scontro/confronto tra Fury e Logan è di quelli che si ricordano. Tre stelle piene.
This is one of the best Wolverine stories ever put to paper. With amazing art and prose, and a grim story this tale of Logan and Nick Fury will stick with you.
I'm always game for a comic drawn by John Buscema, and I enjoyed this one on those terms. But there were a number of these Wolverine one shots that came out around this time, and they're all better reads than this one. So if you're really into Wolvie, or John Buscema, go for it. Otherwise, there are better reads out there.
This was a solid 3 the whole way through, but some amazingly poignant revelations from Logan in the last few pages bumped it all the way up to 5 for me.
