Logan

Wolverine is an all-purpose character. he brings out the worst writing and art from bad creative teams, and the most splendid work from the best guys in the biz. he's been at the center of coming-of-age tales, WWII epics, horror, samurai morality plays, spaghetti westerns and silver age superhero schlock. he inspires every kind of story. This is why i was so excited to hear that celebrated creators Brian K. Vaughan and Eduardo Risso were the creative team on Logan, a new 3-issue mini from Marvel.

Far from an action-packed bloodbath, Logan is a rich, moody, mystical stroll down memory lane. Set in WWII Japan, the story is stylishly drawn and easy to read. for those who know Logan only from the X-men films, it's important to note that Wolverine's healing powers make it difficult to tell that he is over 100 years old, and already a wiley killing machine by WWII. anyways, i'd rather not spoil the story. get in on this mini, created by two modern masters of the medium (the art is so good, Marvel is offering the book in black and white AND color!). Logan gets my highest recommendation!
holla!
