Wolverine by
Benjamin Percy Vol. 1 is the first volume of this ongoing series which
collects the first two story arcs. In the first one, Wolverine is trying to
find his place in the new mutant nation. He is sent out, by his fellow X-Men,
on a mission to deal with the flower cartel who are making addictive illegal
drugs off of flowers. In the second story arc, Wolverine is going up against a
growing vampire threat. The obvious increasing threat of Vampires led by Dracula
that has been building in the background in the Avengers books has to now be
dealt with by Wolverine because it was not something the Avengers put at the
top of their list of things they should handle.
This book
follows up on various plot points from X-force and the Avengers books, but can
be read without reading them. This book ties heavily into the history of
Wolverine. Author Benjamin Percy writes a very good self-loathing, complicated,
and loner Wolverine who prefers to handle things his own way. The X-Men finally
have a place that they could truly be safe and Wolverine will do what he thinks
he must to keep it that way.
Various
characters are featured throughout the book for brief periods of time throughout
the book. The spotlight is on Wolverine. Wolverine by Benjamin Percy Vol.
1 features a lot of action, character introspection, and some humor. The
art is excellent in this very violent book. I look forward to Volume 2.
