• An all new arc by superstar Phil Jimenez! (NEW X-MEN, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Wonder Woman)
• On an annual safari in the African veldt, Wolverine encounters a killer that will take him halfway across the world.
• Wolverine returns to Madripoor to deal with some family business.
There are also some great character moments between Kitty Pride and the students of the Jean Grey School who have a fun guest appearance in this issue that helps break up the seriousness that ensues on Wolverine's “hunt” for the poachers. Things toward the end of the issue set the tone of something bigger at play and make for an interesting first issue on the forthcoming story. Overall Savage Wolverine continues to be a great place for a good, fun story without the monotony of the current Marvel continuity. Just as Avenging Spider-Man carved out a space in the Marvel Universe for one of it's most popular heroes Savage Wolverine does so for another. In my opinion is one of the best places to read event free, tie in free stories in short bursts that remind us that not all comics have to be heavy and overlapping with deep, high stakes.

At least with Phil Jimenez on the creative chores, comic books like this favor the entertainment factor. Read Full Review

However, there's enough established here to make me curious about how the next chapter will play out. Read Full Review
