THE BEST THERE IS BY THE BEST THERE ARE!
The groundbreaking series continues! Thrill to the Marvel Comics debut of Oscar winner JOHN RIDLEY 12 Years a Slave, The American Way) as he and JORGE FORNÉS bring LOGAN to Japan, where he will question his honor as he clashes blades with the SILVER SAMURAI!
Then, it's back to his X-FORCE days with JED MacKAY and JES S SAIZ, as WOLVERINE must stop A.I.M.'s plot for the red planet! And, nothing can prepare you for the unstoppable team-up of DONNY CATES and CHRIS BACHALO as Wolverine has a run-in with...COSMIC GHOST RIDER?!
Parental Advisory
This is yet another fantastic example of how shorter comics stories can reap huge benefits. All three stories do a little bit more with the story than simply showing off fight scenes, which is an improvement on previous issues. Wolverine: Black, White & Blood#3 is a instant buy if you dig clever storytelling packaged with lots of Wolverine, blood, and fight comics goodness. Read Full Review
A great short story that showcases how much more than a brawler Wolverine is. The art from Jesus Saiz is beautifully detailed. Read Full Review
The first story is the strongest of the bunch, touching on Wolverine's past in Japan and telling a story that touches on his life's weariness and the things he sacrifices for being a hero. The third is a lot of fun and shows readers that Wolverine is as smart as he is tough. The second story is a huge disappointment on all counts. It barely belongs in this book, and Bachalo's art just doesn't translate well to black and white. Read Full Review
Even with its trio of good stories, Wolverine: Black White and Blood #3 is starting to feel repetitive in a way that does none of those stories nor the character any favors. Read Full Review
First story writing 9 art 8
Second story was a big disappointment for me writing 5 art 3.5
The third story was my favorite and looked great as well writing 9 art 10

Three previously untold stories of Wolverine’s past masterfully presented in nothing but black, white and red. The first stores pits Wolverine against the Silver Samurai and his band of warriors while showcasing Wolverine’s shortcomings as a father. Next, Cosmic Ghostrider accidentally interferes with the timeline and helps Wolverine get the best of Juggernaut in a bar fight. Finally, Wolverine travels to Mars and battles an AIM splinte more
All of these were pretty good, but not outstanding.
Honestly not bad tbh.
Silver Samurai tries to teach Logan and Mariko a parenting lesson with a Kurosawa bloodbath; Cosmic Ghost Rider pops back in time to see an epic Wolverine bar fight; and Logan cleans up an AIM mess on Mars. The A and B strips are hardly worth reading (the former's cursed with weak prose, the latter with ugly art), but the C strip is a treasure. Magik trying to put on a souvenir AIM beekeeper helmet at the end and getting mad because it won't fit over her horn-dealies is beautiful.
I really liked Ridley's and Fornes' story, the others were not very good.
