Wolverine: Blood Debt is the brainchild of Artist Steve Skroce, who is perhaps best known as the storyboard artist for The Matrix. The story, while following a twisty path of double-and-triple-crosses, is fairly straightforward: Wolverine is drawn into a war for control of The Yakuza (The Japanese Mafia) while in Japan visiting his Foster Daughter. The art is spectacular; It's easy to see Skroce's influence on the visuals of The Matrix. His epic battle scenes in Blood Debt are staggeringly detailed, reminiscent of George Perez in his heyday. Skroce also gets high marks for addressing Logan's Foster Daughter, a character that has gone largely ignored by most Wolverine/X-Men Writers since her introduction. If this IS Skroce's first writing job (I think it is, but I could be wrong..), he does one hell of a job with the characters and their personalities. Skroce has since gone back to Hollywood for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolution, but if he does ever come back to the wacky world of Comics, I'll be first in line to buy his new product.

Wolverine: Blood Debt is the brainchild of Artist Steve Skroce, who is perhaps best known as the storyboard artist for The Matrix. Its a good wolvernine book

This is one of my top Wolverine TPB's. Wolverine takes an absolute beating in this one and he never breaks stride. There are some really cool moments in this book and the artwork is great. These are they types of stories that make Wolverine great.

Blood Debt is just another one of Wolverine's adventure in Japan but this time he also goes to Mongolia. There really nothing special about it. Wolverine is doing his thing, avoiding trouble but then some bad guys decide to get into a fight with him, thinkinhg that they could actually take him. Overall, Blood Debt follows the basic Wolverine story, he kills some villians and save the day....with attitude.

Wolverine's adventures in Japan are always among my favorites and this one features Yukio and Logan's foster daughter, Amiko, quite prominently. It does help to be familiar w/Wolverine's history involving the two, as well as with his deceased love Mariko and her half brother, the Silver Samurai.

Steve Skroce's pencils are pretty much awesome, but looking at the sketch book included at the end of this, some detail seems to be lost in the coloring process. Skroce draws really attractive women, regardless. :)

I liked the story quite a bit; Wolverine does seem a bit too indestructible as he plows through dozens of machine gun wielding men at a time, but the action panels are great.

Recommended for Wolverine fans and highly recommended if you enjoy Logan's adventures in Japan.

This a compilation of Wolverine's comicbook, I recomend because has an Interesting plot, but above all Has an Excellent Artwork by Steve Skroke, the artist of MATRIX'S movies, if you are a Wolverine fan BUY THIS BOOK

This storyline I wasn't aware of until I came across this TPB in a bookstore. And I'm glad I did because it is a great story with one of my favorite characters starring in it. And I loved the artwork. I'd love to see more books done like this.
