A different Wolverine Story,
By
This review is from: Wolverine: Law of the Jungle (Astonishing X-Men) (Paperback)
The first time I read this story, it seemed more like The Sopranos than Wolverine. I didn't know what Frank was trying to prove by this until I read a short interview by him, and he grew up near the mafia, so it kinda fit for him. Anyway, after reading it a few times, and looking through it, this is a definative LOGAN story. This isn't Wolverine the superhero, alas, you don't even see him in uniform. But it shows you what he's capable of when not dealing with supervillians, and really sets him in the world, or at least the world of organized crime. Sean Chen's artwork as usual is outstanding, and Edgar Tadeo's inks bring it a grittier feel, along with the duller colors. If you like superheros in uniform fighting for a noble cause, then I would not recomend this book. This is about a man called Logan who takes on a mafia war by force, and does what he does best. Not all that in depth, but he does kick a lot of a**.Once you realize that's what the intention of this book was, then you appreciate it a little more. And it wraps up nicely, with an ending more appropriate than most.

Wolverine pays of a debt and saves the day,
By
This review is from: Wolverine: Law of the Jungle (Astonishing X-Men) (Paperback)
Wolverine is in a bar when he overhears some hit men talking about getting back at someone by stealing away their little girl.
Wolverine gets pretty pissed about it, but in typical Wolvie fashion outsmarts the men into confessing where she is. Logan whips their asses and finds the child. He hids he away, and finds the mob responsible for the hit. He proposes a truce, he will go after a rival gang if they forgive the debt the man has and leave the child alone. Freddo agrees and Logan goes after Roman. Roman is a sick, twisted individual who preys on others fears and uses them. Roman wants to meet with Logan and trys to trick him into his lion pit. But Logan and the lions square off and come to a understanding.. Logan rules. Logan get the Roman and in the meantime Freddie screws up, he captures the little girl and her dad to try to bring Logan into submission. (bad idea) Logan ends up turning the tables on him and Freddie sleeps with the fishes

Awesome gritty Wolverine story,
By Snikt Chick (Lone Star State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolverine: Law of the Jungle (Astonishing X-Men) (Paperback)
I love this Wolverine story. It's gritty, dark and violent. Just like I like him. I love Sean Chen's artwork and the subdued coloring. This is Wolverine when he's "out of uniform." It gives some insight into what he does in his "down" time. Heh. The only complaint: The lame Punisher story tacked on at the end. It looks like it was drawn for Saturday morning cartoons. Didn't fit at all!!
