Special guest appearance by the Incredible Hulk. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A lot of Wolverine for a small amount of cash You get the first 23 issues of the Wolverine ongoing series (Vol 1), much of it written by Chris Claremont (Issues 1-8, 10). This series came out when I was in the 5th Grade, and I collected each issue as they came out. I still have most of them horded away in boards and bags in a box, but it's great to have all of the stories in one book that I'm not worried about keeping in mint or near mint condition. The stories are some of the best Wolvie stories ever told. That sounds like a big ... Read More Rating: - Solitary Wolverine Shines I've never liked the character of Wolverine. He always seemed like a poor excuse to have a character representing ego instead of id in the X-Men. He never worked for me as a team player. In this collection we have the first 23 issues from Wolverine's own title. Wolverine relocates to a steamy, seamy, far east city with the dichotomy of great riches and great poverty. Wolverine unsurprisingly gravitates to the slums. Wolverine as a solo act works much better. Assuming the persona ... Read More Rating: - Black & white reprints of classic four-color comics...? I honestly don't get the appeal of these books. Why bother making (or reading) black & white reprints of classic four-color comics...? I mean, yeah, the stories are still great and the original comics are hard to find, but a huge part of what made these comics great was the eye-popping artwork, including the bright primary colors: reading them in dull B&W is just plain wrong. Sure, the printing costs are lower, so you can get more pages for your money, but it's more pages of boring, not more pages of ... Read More Rating: - Graphic SF Reader A nice cheap collection of the beginning of Wolverine's run as a character popular enough to hold his own as a solo character. His adventures and wandering aren't too bad at all, and a good way to recover these easily. Generally speaking, this is not the X-Wolverine. Rating: - What an Essential volume should be Having read a couple dozen of Marvel's "Essential" series, I've seen the gamut from excellent to awful. Generally, what makes the comics good are exactly the things you'd expect: good, consistent writing and art, strong characters and a decent supporting cast. (This last feature seems to often be the deciding factor for excellence: it's a reason the Essential Spiderman volumes have been exceptional, while the Silver Surfer was not on the same par.) By these standards, the Essential Wolverine is a top ...
