Three taut, stand alone stories that encapsulate the best of what makes Wolverine so popular.

I have to add: As one who finds the constant story jumping from title to title (rather than through consecutive issues of ONE title) in modern comics infuriating and unreadable, I really appreciated the tightly paced brevity of the stories and most especially their emphasis on “stand alone.” I hope the success of this style will be the precursor of more emphasis on craft than speed at Marvel- you don’t need an endless litany of massive crossover events when you have an ongoing series of great three act stories.

Actual rating: 4.2 stars
What I liked: I enjoyed the commitment to the blood! Also each story was perfect and left me wanting more!
Art & Coloring: Perfect amount of bright red in the panels to show the carnage left by Wolverine.
Writing: Each of the stories were really good and I enjoyed how they focused only on Logan and his adventures. I do wish the stories were longer though.
What I didn't like: No complaints other than wishing the length was longer.
Final thoughts: When does issue #2 come out?
Continuing?: Yes

Goddamn I love Wolverine. This is so fantastic, three stories, all of them fall into my favorite genre of Wolverine story, “Logan goes berserk and kills some guy(s)”
The use of red is so fucking fantastic here, Marvel is getting really good at these Black White & Red books. I think it’s awesome that they’re doing another Wolverine one, this time it’s called Logan instead of Wolverine, I ain’t mad at that. Will definitely be reading the next issue too. My favorite of these three stories was Larry Hama’s “Red Claws” probably my favorite feral Logan story that I’ve ever read.

Short stories of Logan, in a dark and gruesome manner. First story is Logan in Korea sniping russians in the 50’s and exposing himself as the Wolverine. Second is in NYC in the 70’s at a bar and how he adapts to his surroundings, and third is him shortly after Weapon X and being out in the wild with the wolves. Very dark and bloody and definitely awesome art here. Loved this issue seeing Wolverine before the X-Men.

Short but sweet

Man, this was brutal. Really encapsulated Logan's dark and violent world. They didn't hold back with this. This is going to be a fun and bloody series. Can't wait!
