In the wake of Arno Stark’s crusade against A.I.s, no robot is safe. Fearing of Elsie Dee’s safety in these tumultuous times, Albert, the robot Wolverine, goes to Madripoor to find her…but what he finds is a fight against Madripoor’s criminal underbelly instead!
Straightforward read, Albert has beef and he's out to settle it. Not a deep concept but it's plenty of fun to go along for the ride. Read Full Review
iWolverine #1 is a great action-filled tie-in featuring a little known but fantastic character. Read Full Review
An issue absolutely filled to the brim with robotic action and violence. Read Full Review
The usually reliable Roland Boschi delivers the pencils here, and his heart is clearly in the designs for Albert himself as the work done in the robo-Wolverine are the real highlight. Everything else though feels largely forgettable. Read Full Review
I was really looking forward to this comic but I think I am going to forget about it by the next issue. This isn't the fault of the book, it simply was not my cup of tea. If you want the full Iron Man 2020 arc this might be worth a pick up but I think this is a pass. Read Full Review
As a huge Wolverine fan I love seeing Albert and Elsie dee again I also love Larry Hama writing it. I thought this was a good book for a stroll down memory lane. I’ve actually recently reread Wolverine vol 2 and have always liked this pair.I will be honest I have not read any of the series and have no plans to either So I really don’t know if it fits in with the overall story. I’m here just for Albert and Elsie dee
Albert carves his way through Madripoor in search of his little pal Elsie Dee. He finds her, but unfortunately, they'll have to live through a whole other issue of meaningless, poorly-illustrated gang violence. It's a dull story on its own; its connection to the event is a wisp of general thematic philosophy -- Albert and Pierce clash over the idea of owning AIs.
A few weeks (months?) ago, when Ironheart 2020 #2 came out, there was a review by DispatchDCU from Weird Science Marvel Comics, in which he made the point that that miniseries had nothing to do with Iron Man 2020. In my review for that issue, I openly disagreed with that idea. The core of the event is about artificial intelligence and what rights should be afforded to them. I say all this because if you really, truly want a tie-in that has nothing to do with the main event, look no further than iWolverine 2020. There is simply no reason for this to exist besides Larry Hama, for some reason, wanting to write an Albert and Elsie-Dee story. I can't imagine Marvel coming to him with the idea. It had to have been Larry Hama. This is just so, so more
Thanks, I hated this. The dialogue, the art, the irritating cutesy speech impediments. This was a bad time.
