Theres a lot to love in this one: Scroce's BLOOD DEBT is collected in its entirety here, as is WOLVERINE: ORIGIN and the myriad of special features from the HC collection of that mini from 2002. The Liefeld stuff is playfully insane early 2000s riffing. Really, if they'd left out the pointless annual that opens the volume and the filler issue that was only included for completion's sake, this might be a perfect collection.
Nice to reread Origins, and some stories I hadn’t read before.
If I had to sum up this book in one sentence, I guess it would be:"By the way, that is not how you spell alright."This starts out from Steve Skroce, whom I have never heard of. It is okay, but somehow manages to cram 2 issues' worth of story into 4 comics, and feels like that Punisher movie from 1989 where he lived like a Ninja Turtle and fought the Yakuza in New York for some reason. Come to think of it, that is this whole book. Some threat from Japan keeps pooping up and slowing the book down,...
The title says Blood Debt, but it also includes the Origin story. Blood Debt has Wolverine running around from place to place trying to save Yukio and Amiko. Old school Marvel art and story telling. Not my usual cup of tea. The second half with Origin is just beautiful. I think every panel is painted. It is a sad story but that is pretty much the definition of a proper wolverine story.
I pulled the plug about halfway through. Just couldn't get into this one. With the exception of Liefield, the art was nice, but the stories were meh at best. Better luck next time, Logan.
Origin is amazing, worth it just for that.
This is one of those chunky collections from Marvel that bundles a whole host of individual issues together - but by golly this is as mismatched a collection as you'll find. The front half is exactly what you'd expect from the cover, a bunch of Rob Liefeld-era Wolverine that's pretty low on story quality and all about the art style of the day. It even has one of those Wolverine vs Deadpool fights that makes no sense whatsoever, not least that Deadpool shows up with a whole gang of dull new super...
[Do NOT get this for your Kindle Fire. These Epic Collection ebooks won't allow you to enlarge the panels.]As other reviews have pointed out, the first half of the collection is rather forgettable. Instead go straight to the second half which is Wolverine's origin story. Better artwork and better storytelling. I've not seen the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie (and I have the feeling I never should) but I hope that one day they may make a film version of this story.
