3.5/5.This volume doesn't do anything particularly wild or revolutionary with the character, but it is solid adventures for Wolverine to be in. We finally get away from Madripoor, and this volume introduces Elsie Dee, and Albert, the Terminator Wolverine. Fun.
This book finishes up with Madripoor and then starts shifting into Wolverine looking into his past. It also marks Larry Hama's beginning to write this title, and Marc Silvestri coming onboard for art duties. Larry Hama tries to beef up the testosterone, which was so not necessary.

This book had more of the hero/villain actions that I was expecting from the series. Perhaps it was just because a lot of it was set outside of Japan. The artwork seems to be improving. I suppose it just depends on who the artist is of each issue. I liked this artwork more than the artwork in the first volume of these Essentials. I don’t mind the black and white that they go for. I’m used to my graphic novels and comics being black and white. I am looking forward to more Wolverine.
