A nice little diddy of a story. Wolverine is in the remote parts of Canada when he sees visions of killing people. He comes across a sasquatch / wolf race. Some of the members have turned evil and started eating human flesh. Davis uses some of the Wendigo lore in his story.
The book looks absolutely terrific. Both Alan Davis's art and the coloring are brilliant.

Bloodlust was written in the early 1990s. That can be a terrible thing for a comic as the '90s were known for some crappy comics. While this is no great work, it is significantly better than what I had expected. While the art is hindered by the time period's signature style, it is still decent compared to most '90s art. The story is pretty good as well.
Wolverine is hanging out in Northern Canada when he gets a surge of angry feelings and his killer instincts are on full alert. He finds a group of otherworldly travelers, who look a lot like Yeti, who have come to our reality. Some of their number have gone rogue and eaten human flesh. As in Native American lore, they became wendigos (cannibalistic monsters). But their psychic abilities are affecting Logan who is having trouble controlling his own inner beast.
An interesting story from the 1990s. It may be one of the better comics to come out of that time period. The art and story are better than the usual garbage that was produced at that time. While not for everyone, I think Wolverine fans will appreciate this blast from the past.

A story that is so weird its good! The story follows Wolverine in Canada, whenever he gets into a conflict, he gets this uncontrollable rage, that makes him fight till everyone is dead, a girl is then captured by a werewolf like race of people and Wolverine must go and stop them. The Plot sounds simple, but it unravels as you read it! The story was good, and the art pretty nice! A must read!

(Zero spoiler review)
A masterclass in artistry from Alan Davis and Paul Neary (R.I.P) and a more than fitting finale to the second Wolverine omnibus. Davis, not being content to be one of the greatest artists to ever grace a comic book, shows he is far more capable than most writers at penning a poignant and engaging story. And whilst this short story might not reach the dizzying heights of his amazing Excalibur work, it's still a bloody good read. Not sure if Paul Neary did the colours, or not, but a huge shout out to whoever did. Truly gorgeous stuff, without a hint of digital slop in sight. 4/5

Crtež odličan.
Priča... ako verujemo u bića sa drugih planeta... skroz ok.
Jedno od starijih izdanja ali veoma dobro.

I think Alan Davis’ Art is beautiful and j have no idea who thinks this is just okay in the style of the early 90s?! Anyway, it’s a kinda goofy story about Wolverine fighting his basic animal instincts and realizing he could be a meditative chill guy if he could connect with the spirits of Canada or something like that. It’s surprisingly gory and full of death as a heads up, but a good little read!

Read this on marvel unlimited.
Pretty good wolverine story. I definitely think it was a enjoyable read and a nice break from crossovers aplenty in my x men binge.
The twist at the end was really good, and although I’m not a particular fan of wolverine I like stuff that puts his more human sense against his animal nature.
Anyways, if you have marvel unlimited, it’s well worth a quick read.

Classic wolverine, before he was practically invincible.

This is peak '90s and despite what many would have you believe, the '90s was the last great era of X-Men stories, both in terms of script and especially art (Madureira notwithstanding, who was simply not very well suited to the task, but otherwise an excellent artist).
To be fair, the story itself seems not entirely thought out and there are at least two inconsistencies in things said, though, overall, in true Marvel fashion, they do not matter. The story is about theme, and the theme is about Wolverine's struggle with his bestial nature, as well as his relationship with the spirit realm.
First off, the art is simply stunning: detailed, rich and evocative without being stuffed or overwhelming. The colors serve 100% to communicate the feeling of Yukon's frozen isolation and the warm richness of the spirit plane, as well as the difference between the two factions of the mysterious Neuri.
Wolverine's spiritual element is not entirely consistent within the comic, but it is consistent with stories across the decades, as it immediately brought to mind a much later story (Bloodlust came out in 1990 but I only read it now) from Wolverine #94 (1995), where Logan encounters an angry spirit inside the Generation X biodome. It is also reminiscent of (and likely inspired by) Logan's encounters with Wendigo (Incredible Hulk #180 in the '70s, Uncanny X-Men #140 in the '80s).
There are notes of Lovecraftian fantasy and horror, closer to the Dreamlands Cycle than the Cthulhu Mythos, as well as a theme of man ravaging nature but being ultimately helpless against it.
Overall, totally worth a place in your library.

Very solid art from UK transplant Alan Davis (Marvelman, Excalibur) with a muted color palette that I really adore. Ended up being the last gasp of quality art at Marvel before the '90s nadir.
Story is dated as it veers close to noble savage territory.

Traduce el one-shot de Davis dedicado a Wolverine dentro de la Colección Prestigio. Mucho tiempo después se incluiría también en un tomo de Panini.

Libro de historietas que probablemente compartiera ISBN con los demás de la colección.

This review is from 2020.
I liked this when it came out and I still do. Davis' art is simply beautiful. His ability to show growing anger and rage in Logan's face is outstanding.
Overall, it is a little bit weird, but I like the idea that he's very close to nature and that his skeleton keeps him from completing that connection. I also enjoy that this continues to bring forward his struggle to suppress the animal in him, trying to stay calm, control his emotions.
Definitely worth a read. To my knowledge the aspects in this story have never directly been addressed again, but it does add to the tapestry of Wolverine's complicated character.

Muy bonico el dibujo (no así el coloreado) y muy interesante la raza de yetis zen mutantes etéreos que aparecen en estas páginas y que re daban para volver a aparecer en la saga en la que Wolverine pierde el adamantium (pero creo que jamás volvieron).
