Summary: Ellis and Marvel do not mix...
Review: I bought this book for two reasons: Warren Ellis' writing and Leinil Yu's artwork. It was, in fact, Warren Ellis' raving about Yu's artwork that interested me in this collaboration. And he's right. Yu can draw exciting action sequences, vary his camera angle, do detailed and lovely facial expressions, backgrounds and clothes. All this, without, as the other review pointed out, *any* spandex costumes. The writing also, is sharp, as you would expect from Warren Ellis, although I suspect it doesn't cover any new ground with Wolverine.But hey, Yu's artwork is a treat and paces well with Ellis' script.

Review: It's all pretty standard gansters and mutant story with artwork that appears to have been drawn too quickly.

Summary: Incredible art coupled with an original story line
Review: This is one of those stories that's smart and entertaining and features everybody's favorite X-man: Wolverine. Wolverine finds his apartment blown to bits and his tenants executed in the style of one of his former foes: McLeish. The story is not about revenge as much as it is about the way Wolverine has evolved from his early days when he met McLeish in Hong Kong. Physically Wolverine is as fit as he ever was, but mentally he has evolved, he's much wiser, but he's pushed to the edge in this one, and we get to see that feral side we just love. The art is so perfect for the story, when Logan is riding his motorcycle in those lonely woods at night in autumn, man just look at those dark colors, sensational! The flashbacks provide alot of information, and for the most part answer all your questions(except one), very insightful, and shed some much needed light on Wolverine's shady past. I strongly recomend this paperback to every Wolvie fan out there, you really don't know what your missing.

Summary: A good mystery story
Review: You will be gripped with the suspense and intrigue from the mystery in the story. Leinil Francis Yu's artwork is spectacular as usual... and Warren Ellis' story is pretty darn good. Leinil F. Yu is one of the best Wolverine artists and his drawings truly shine in this saga. The story is not a typical Marvel Comics story -- it's much more grittier, adult, and has a bit of a bite. One thing I noticed was that the final product had some minor modifications to Warren Ellis' original script (probably due to editorial censorship?). All in all, a great read!
