This contains Wolverine #47-57. I read #47-51 as a kid and mostly grabbed this for nostalgia reasons. Larry Hama is the writer and Marc Silvestri does pencils on most of the issues, not long before he jumped ship with the other image guys.
For a monthly early 1990s super hero comic, this is entertaining enough. Wolverine goes up against a drug dealer with a gun, dives into his own past, and goes up against Mojo at the end of time and The Hand in Japan.
Fun stuff but 11 issues of Wolverine in a row is a lot if you're not a huge Wolverine fan. I liked the stuff that referenced Barry Windsor Smither's Weapon X but the rest of it was okay. It's an interesting time capsule of how comics were a little over 30 years ago, complete with the father of all gimmick issues, Wolverine #50 with the die cut cover. Sadly, the cover wasn't incorporated into this trade.

Mark Silvestri provides some great early 90's art but these stories are indecipherable at best. Wolvie trying to figure out which memories are real after his memory blocks are removed is mindnumbingly boring and you never do get an answer. They drag it out for years without any real answers and I think it's all been dropped at this point.

3.5 stars. Another solid entry. I’ve having fun reading all these old Wolverine comics. Some fun adventures to be had. The first part of this book had Logan working with Professor X and Jean Grey on trying to unlock his memories as well as physically going the abandoned weapon x facility looking for clues. Jubilee tags along as she has been throughout this volume. There was some cool stuff Hama did with what weapon X a was doing to implant memories in Wolverine. It was also cool to see Elsie Dee and Albert show back up. The middle of the book has Spiral, Logan, Mystique and Jubilee whisked away to the far future and have to deal with Mojo. The last part of the book has them shot back to our present time except Jubilee was sent to Japan with Logan’s Harley and got up in customs because of it. Logan and Gambit head out to get her and get caught up in all kinds of madness. Overall nice book. Definitely some entertainment to be had.

This book was all over the place, several stories combined. I read this because another story I was reading referred to Mariko's part of the story. Admittedly, most of this book fell flat (maybe because so much has happened to Wolverine that makes some of this old news and outdated, yay retcons).
Anyway, the artwork by Silvestri is amazing, the other guest artists (aside from Kubert) were a big miss for me. The writing was okay, not superb, but okay.
All said, take it or leave it. It does show some key aspects of Wolverine's history, but Jubilee is in it too much, and the stories are just mediocre.

I can't help but love these way, and I mean WAY, out there Wolverine issues as they were what I wasted invested my paper route earnings on back in the early-90s as they were coming out. Looking back I'm sure I didn't understand even 21% of what was actually happening in the comics at the time but it didn't matter because I loved Wolverine and the art was cool! and there would be a new insane clawed villain for him to throw down with every week! and sometimes popular X-Men characters from the Claremont run would pop in! all to the good, never mind the fact that some of the stories were weirdly reactionary or maddeningly inconclusive.
This gimmicky covered double issue #50 was my most treasured possession for years.

There's some really great stories in this collection but sadly also a few not so great. You can feel the early 90s radiating from the pages, from all the neon to the really bad slang. With that said, the very last story, about Muriko has Wolvie back in Japan where his story arcs swing best. Also, a lot of these stories feature Jubilee as a side kick with a serious crush on her Wolvie.

Not a bad collection Of Wolverine stories that start with his search in Canada for his memory and how he came to be Weapon X. It also includes the issue which outlines the death of Mariko.
A collection of the 1988 Wolverine issues #47-57. A nice way for newcomers to learn about Wolverine's past.

A messy attempt to make Wolverine's complicated backstory even more complicated by revealing that some of the core memories that were part of his history were fake and implanted by the Weapon X program. There are a ton of red herrings and misdirects in this dizzying collection. As well as your requisite 90s vilains in gold colored metal masks and torso armor.
Unless you read this as a kid and have some nostalgic fondness, I don't see this being the kind of book a casual or moderate comic fan would enjoy. Marc Silverstri and Andy Kubert's are Incredibly 90s but in a Top Of The Class at 90s Comic Art School sort of way. I wish the stories were coherent enough to be worthy of their art.
I only recommend this to Wolverine or X-Men completists, as it does lay off well against the early 1990s X-Men series fairly well, consistently using members of both the blue and gold teams.
***Updates During 2024 reread**
I haven't laughed so hard at unintentionally bad writing in a long time. The first issue deals with a bad boy who murders his dad, roughs up his mom, and kills indiscriminately to get his sweet, sweet drugs. It's written with the nuance and subtlety of a fourth grader whose never left their house, where they've been subjected to 1950s and 60s filmstrips about "greasers" and "pill poppers."
I don't know that I can ever take Larry Hama's writing seriously again. I hope he also gets a good laugh when he remembers he got paid to publish this steaming pile of cow patties.
Once the Don't Do Drugs Afternoon Special is over, Hama gets back on familiar turf, and while I don't love the story, it's miles better than that first issue.

There's some fun to be had here but writer Larry Hama's worst habits quickly grow out of control: tough guy cliches abound, people spout entire paragraphs as they're flying through the air at one another, and pretty much everybody spouts military and weapons jargon with a frequency that is laughable.
That said, the book still has several definite high points. However, out of continuity filler issues and an uninspired Mojo story in the middle of the volume really hinder any momentum the creative team is able to conjure up.
This is a book of stops and starts, of storylines and characters zigzagging all around, and the result is pretty disjointed though not unenjoyable. It's exactly what it sounds like: an early '90s Marvel book.

3,5*
Two major arcs here. Hama starts with an interesting follow-up of Windsor-Smith's famous Weapon X series. Full of action and conspiracies it finally gets confused and confusing and doesn’t entirely deliver.
The second arc is set in Japan- again- and involves Mariko and the Hand. Again it is a bit confused- for instance I never understood this Cylla character or Silver Fox’ endgame- but this one’s action-packed too and it closes on a major drama.
I really appreciate Hama's style though. He tries long-run plots- even though he seems to lose himself a bit in the way- and has a good grip on the characters to whom he adds a welcome lightness.
Silvestri + Green on most issues so it’s good dynamic stuff.

I started reading comics after the ones collected in this graphic novel, and I never went back and read this particular storyline, but I’m so glad I have now. This was fantastic. Where it started to where it ended was quite the wild ride! If they make more movies featuring Wolverine, I hope they use this incarnation. I see from this that they really toned down his character and civilized him in the Fox movies. This Wolverine felt so real. So authentic. So exciting to read. And now, I want more.

Part I: Wolverine tries to find answers about his time in the Weapon X program. I could read this quest all day.
Part II: Wolverine and crew save the universe or something. Yeah.
Part III: It’s time for a trip to Japan! For some reason, Wolvie’s exploits in the Land of the Rising Sun seem forced and unnecessary.

I had that # 50 issue! With the slashes in front, was the coolest gimmick cover ever.
Wolverine’s solo series never felt as necessary as the other X-spinoffs, at least in the late 80s/early 90s. He was mostly off to do his own thing with minimal connections to the mainline series. He wasn’t in those yearly crossovers yet, and it didn’t feel like he was part of a team.
There is one thing about this Weapon X sequel, it was when he officially switched back to his original bright yellow costume after the darker brown one throughout the decade he became one of Marvel’s biggest stars. This never sit right with me, even if Jim Lee decided it looked cooler and the colors stood out in the cartoon. He’s supposed to sneak up on you in the shadows, don’t you think? Glad that’s finally fixed these days.
But that’s a bit of a superficial take. Larry Hama’s writing of the Wolverine series was excellent. He truly got the gritty voice down. And I love Marc Silvestri, one of my favorite X-Men artists, who was relegated to Wolverine until right before the Image era. He’d fight Lady Deathstrike and the Reavers, as well as Sabretooth, and sometimes Jubilee would be the sidekick. This was a great version of Wolverine, perhaps only topped by Adam Kubert’s art in the next era.
I appreciate the standalone nature of these stories, timeless and worth rereading without worrying too much about dreaded continuity. There’s a good reason he became arguably the biggest breakout Marvel character since the Silver Age, without being overly ‘grim and gritty’ by the way, as portrayed in these solid issues.

"...PUT A FANCY SUIT ON AN ANDROID AND HE THINKS HE'S HOT STUFF.
THAT AN AXIOM?
SHOULD BE."
- Wolverine's inner monologue, trash talking the killer robot he just "voided the warrantee" on.
As hard as Wolverine presents himself, Larry Hama brought out his vulnerability by subtly emphasizing deep emotional trauma. Hama's portrayal of internal pain, desperation and psychotic behavior was likely derived from his own experiences in wartime. Writing for Wolverine may have even been therapeutic. I also believe Hama was channeling his own inner would-be "Canucklehead" with much of the dialogue.
Marc Silvestri's full-page, anatomically detailed layouts were gritty, dirty and in-your-face, as had become the new standard in the early 90's. Silvestri along with the Kubert brothers, Jim Lee, Todd MacFarlane, Mark Bagley and even (god help me) Rob Liefeld, made obselete the soft/smooth and vibrant cartoony theme that had been the industry standard since the late 50's.
Back on track, I'm "rabbit holing" here. The art went perfectly with the story. This fit into the X-men threads from the same time.
4.5 stars. This was an amazing ride. I now want to collect all the Hama/Silvestri Wolverine stories.

I’d read a few of these before, so Wolverine uncovering the Weapon X program wasn’t new to me. Overall this is a pretty disjointed volume, including a one-off with Shatterstar and another with Mystique and Mojo. Jubilee hangs around the edges for no particular reason, and it seems like they’ve given her an actual crush on Wolverine? Which I find off-putting; she is very much a teenager. Bulging muscles abound (except for the women), and I just grew annoyed by the meaningless encounters, the meetups and then suddenly it was like whomever guested that arc had never been around.
I perked up for the trip to Japan and the influx of female characters, but this too eventually reemphasized all the things that had already bugged me, but also now EVERYTHING was about “honor.” And that ending. :<
Idk. Larry Hama is of Japanese descent and was in the military so it’s not like his choices are inauthentic. Maybe it just didn’t feel like X-Men or Wolverine to me.
I’m glad that we have Peach Momoko’s current series about Mariko; I could read her Mariko forever.
Here, I feel like I don’t really know her. Her story and her desires were only a vehicle for his, so it’s inevitable that she would end up fridged like so many other women in comics.

This volume brings some of the gonzo energy of Hama's earlier Wolverine work (hello Albert and Elsie Dee rebuilding their stealth bomber), but clear signs of editorial interference are starting to creep in.
These pages find Wolverine driven to explore his mysterious past, which is a mash-up of human-weapon experimentation and artificial memories. But this collection starts the decade-long pattern of Wolverine getting close to solving his fundamental mystery without, you know, actually solving it.
So here we see Wolverine traveling off to Arctic bases and special-ops movie sets for a lot of ponderous "illusion within an illusion" storytelling. It doesn't add up to much, and worse, it diverts Wolverine from the more consistent "rogue" characterization he's been building back to his old beserker status. (At the end of one storyline here, Wolvie even states that he may not behave totally consistently going forward, which seems like a good out if you plan to have him appear in five titles monthly.)
The art is generally good, and the writing is probably better than the material deserves, but the storytelling here fully enters the overwrought and anguished tropes of the 90s, and it's less compelling than what came before it.

give this book 5 stars. i hated the first comic (wolverine #47), but it ended up being significant to the ending of this book.
Must read before reading this book: Wolverine #1-4 (1982) and Uncanny X-Men #172 & 173. these comics are available in Uncanny X-Men Vol #3.
Other must reads: Uncanny X-Men #256-258. available in X-Men Omnibus 1 or Marvel visionaries Jim Lee. There's a Character that is introduced in Wolverine #31-33. I didn't read those issues, so i don't find them necessary to read, but those issues are collected in Wolverine Omnibus Vol #3.
Weapon X Unbound Vs Wolverine Omnibus Vol #3: the omnibus has X-Men 4-7. Wolverine #48-50 is a necessary read for those X-Men issues. as a whole they're so much better. there's other comics that are interesting in the Omnibus. I have Wolverine: Weapon X unbound and X-Men Epic Collection #20 Bishops Crossing.
Overall: This is a great standalone book. well technically this a sequel to the 4 issue mini series of Wolverine (1982). this book would be better if it included X-Men 4-7.

This collection is kind of a steaming pile of poo. It really encompasses three stories.
The first is pretty good (maybe three stars) with a story of Wolverine searching for his lost memories. Its main problem is it feels rushed.
The second story is a gawd awful romp featuring Wolverine with Mystique, Spiral, Jubilee, Elsie-Dee, Albert (the android Wolverine) and Jubilee trying to save the universe at the end of time or some dumb plot like that all wrapped around the absurdity of the big bad Mojo. The story, the art, and everything else isn’t worth the paper it was printed on. (Less than one star).
The third story is just a mess. The general plot maybe isn’t that bad with Wolverine returning to Japan because for some reason that was where Jubilee ended up after their time warp adventure. It was really an excuse for Wolverine to go back to his past with Mariko and the Hand. The problem here is that there are way too many characters and subplots to make for a coherent story. Just a jumbled mess really. And the art isn’t great either. Really too bad.

The first issue included is some terrible public service announcement not to do drugs or Wolverine will get you. But after that, some issues with awesome 90s Marc Silvestri art and an all over the place story. Weapon X program lore and Mojo and Japan get all mashed together into some craziness. I like that it doesn't take itself too serious. I don't always dig superhero stuff but this was fun.

Great !
Nice stories, more light on the Wolvie past, and a romantic final everything is there better than the movie! They should have asked Larry for help we would get something better I guess...

90's romp through Hama & Silvestri's Wolverine run. Fantastic artwork combined with off the shelf grittiness. The splash pages truly pop, as everyone favorite clawed hero death lunges from panel to panel. Great collaboration by the team who brought the Weapon X Saga to this collection.

Gotta love old-school 80s/90s Wolverine.

Very good chunk of 90s Wolverine greatness.
I enjoyed the overall book and I've always been a big Wolvie fan anways.
The collection is wrapped up in a very tragdic moment for Logan and friends

Decent story. Typical of late 80s comic books -- lots of anti-drug overtures and secret military operations, mixed in with some time travel and "all of reality at stake."

Honestly, some of Logan's greatest fits of all time are in this collection.

I think I like the transition in this volume. They went from telling original Wolverine stories in Madripoor featuring Patch and really made this an X-Men book featuring Wolverine. Still Larry Hama was a poor substitute for Chris Claremont and it shows in his dialogue. Not that Claremont was better, but readers had got used to his goofy dialogue and Hama's rang a little off. Anyway, some top shelf Silvestri and some middle class Kubert art. And the art is at it's best until they had to switch up inkers, then it just kinda falls apart.
