Civil War: Wolverine

Wolverine is still one of the best characters in the Marvel Universe - so when civil war errupts, you know wolvie's going to do what he does best. This tie-in has him tracking down Nitro, who set off the chain of events leading to registration. While on the trail Wolverine gets into some pretty nasty situations - LIKE GETTING BURNED ALIVE!! The art work is great - for some reason I really like Ramos' style. And the book is pretty bloody - great fights with plenty of action. The only thing is, that it doesn't feel like a Civil War tie-in. Other than the connection to Nitro, this collection stands on its own pretty well. In fact, you only see one character from the main story (Iron Man), and Logan never gets near any of the action between Stark and Cap. America. Still, the collection is great - just don't look for back plot to the Civil War.

love this story logan kicks tail and takes name for all you anti religous fanatics thefre's a fake messiah on a suicide mission logan solves this easily then he takes on nitro, amir who he later sleeps with after nitro kills her husband and namor who has an intreresting debate with logan loved it also loved the part where logan cut nitro's arm off brutality baby freaking bloody yes. then logan has those psychedelic nightmares where he sees jean again bring her back so they can hook up in real life plus logan reveals another secret which is linked to his mysterious immortality and amir is a hottie blue skin and all buy this if you love wolverine and x men.

As the Civil War strikes every facet of the Marvel universe, most of the X-Men have been sitting on the sidelines. Though futuristic mutants Cable and Bishop have chosen sides, most of the other X-Men have their own drama to deal with, particularly Wolverine. In his Civil War tie-in, Wolverine goes on the hunt for Nitro; the super villain responsible for the Stamford tragedy that ignited the superhero registration act. On the road and looking to take him down, Wolverine uncovers some secrets and gets much more than he bargained for. Writer Marc Guggenheim offers up a familiar take on Marvel's most popular mutant, but it works here as he presents a Wolverine out for blood. The only real downside of Civil War: Wolverine is the art by Humberto Ramos. While not bad one bit, his style is so cartoony that it really doesn't fit the tone set by Guggenheim or the overall tone of the Civil War story as a whole. Other than that though, Civil War: Wolverine ends up being one of the better Civil War tie-ins, and should be checked out by readers who want an expanded look at Mark Millar's story.

I've made a point of collecting the entire Civil War line of books involved in Marvel's big event, and this was one of the better crossovers. Guggenheim writes a fantastic Wolverine, with a dark sense of humour, tendency to ignore politics when they disagree with his ethics, and a willingness to cross lines most heroes won't cross. My only complaint about this set is Ramos' style of art. Ramos has great composition and storytelling instincts, but he's got an exaggerated, somewhat goofy style that I associate with work aimed at the 6-10 year old set. He'd be a great fit for some goofy, surreal comedic title, but I found his work out of place on a story this serious. Still, the complete package is worthwhile, as this is the one place in the whole Civil War landscape that reveals the fate of the person who really triggered the Stamford disaster that kicked off the entire event.
