Buy this book, bub !
I've been an X-Men (and especially a Wolverine) fan since the late 80's. Unfortunately, I was never able to find the now classic "Wolverine" mini-series. Not until this book came along. This is really the first comic where the authors explore the human side of the man called Logan. Always considered an animal which thinks with his claws instead of his head, now we see the popular X-man beaten in battle, have his heart broken - only to come back triumphant. This book is a must for all Wolverine fans but I recommend it to those who want to find out what makes this little Canadian tick.

It's so-so
The artwork is quite good, if a little inconsistant and maybe a bit empty.There are some pages that have great work, other's that just don't.

The story itself isn't bad, although it easy to understand what is going Claremont seems to try and overcomplicate things. It can become tedious to read. This isn't one that will leave you hanging on every word.

Frank Miller is only the artist on the first 98 pages. It doesn't really affect anything, but just incase anyone wants to know.

It was an average read up until the end. The ending itself... I'm sorry but they just can't end this book like that. On it's own it is possibly the worst ending I have ever read, there is no closure what so ever. You will need to buy further x-men comics to fully understand it, which I definetly think should have been included in this book.

I'm giving this two stars. It's probably only worth it if you're a wolverine fan.

Classic
This book along with the dark phoenix saga, is a must for any Marvel comic fan.

The art work is rich and the arch of the story is compelling.

I believe that this book, should be rated as highly as Return of the Dark Knight by Frank Miller.

For those who are interested in learning more about what catapulted Wolverine into a genre defining character look no further than this graphic novel.
