Wolverine: Patch #1 is classic Hama Logan, well-executed by the entire team involved. The introduction of multiple players early on makes it intriguing from the get-go and Hama doesn't show his whole hand at once with a healthy balance of mystery and intrigue combined with some wild violent moments that have defined Logan's solo runs in the past. The balance of old and new from Hama is more than enough to make one want to come back for more. Read Full Review

Wolverine: Patch #1 is not going to be an industry-changing story, but it does provide a nostalgic tale. Fans of Hama's original run on Wolverine will discover enough throwbacks to draw them in immediately, while fans of Wolverine in general should be entertained enough with this first issue to want to come back for more.

This was enjoyable stuff, but then I remember the original era and so have a nostalgic connection to it. All the things I was looking for were there. Hama's writing was excellent, Di Vito and Underwood's art both top notch and reminiscent of that era's feel and style. I'm not so sure if people without that connection would necessarily have enjoyed this as much, with the lack of any relevance to the modern Marvel universe and current characters. It's a fun diversion for modern fans, but little else. For me, a welcome walk down memory lane. Read Full Review

Well worth it if you are a fan of Wolverine and want to see him in an adventure off by his own and doing reckless things like jumping out of planes without a parachute with no back up to help him if things go wrong. Read Full Review

Fans of the Patch era of Wolverine will obviously love seeing Logan in the suit and tie, but there's nothing too remarkable here. It's a solidly crafted adventure with some intriguing mysterious foes with good action. Pick this up if you're in the mood for good action and a Wolverine solo reading experience. Read Full Review

An underwhelming start to this miniseries. Have to take some time to figure out if I'll give the second issue a shot. Read Full Review

Wolverine: Patch #1 delivers a fine story that is buoyed up by nostalgia and a strong visual presentation. If the tale can build on the groundwork laid out here, it could grow into something truly great. Read Full Review

Wolverine: Patch #1 isn't bad in any way but it also doesn't stand out. You read it and kind of wonder of what the point is other than adding some nostalgia. So far, it doesn't give us anything new. There's not some interesting exploration of the time or character. It's just a standalone story so far with a “classic” feel of it all. This is one for fans looking for a bit of nostalgia.

It's bound to be more effective for readers who fondly remember Wolverine issues centered on this era as there's not much to be appreciated beyond the callbacks and competent presentation. Read Full Review

I understand why these sorts of series are nostalgic for a lot of people, but I can't find myself enjoying the outdated storytelling on display here. Not every writer can adapt to modern sensibilities the way people like Gerry Conway or Peter David or JM DeMatteis have, but maybe they shouldn't be given miniseries, I guess.

Intrigue intrigue intrigue! Conveyed through cliche cliche cliche! With barely a scrap of meaning meaning meaning!

This comic is just a heap of random characters and organizations, and all it establishes is that they exist in proximity to each other. There is no plot defining the relationships.

One would assume that a plot would be an absolute necessity in a tale told by professionals. And one might appear in future issues.

But let me assure you: There's no damn plot in THIS comic.

At least the art's solid.
