Wolverine: Enemy of the State - Volume 2

This issue has it all! You see Wolverine as every die-hard fan desires! Epic battles, chaotic conflicts, and devastation all over do not take away from the individual struggles and dilemas of Wolverine, Nick Fury, and Elektra vs. The Hand. Although the Hand's "Gorgan " resembles "Morlon" (who had the Juggernaut-like power and was in search of "spider essence" to drain from Parker's life force) from the Spidey issue, he has the arrogance and the brutality just right to match up against Wolverine's. You just don't mess with Logan's head and get away with it. Even if you read this issue before reading the 1st Enemy of the State issue, you won't feel 'left out', but you will still want to read the 1st one too! The side story in the back of the issue was pretty cool as well.

It had everything you can want, Vol. 1 and 2 are must own for any comic book fan.

Continuing the second half of Mark Millar's year long arc on Wolverine, Enemy of the State Vol. 2 continues where Vol. 1 left off with the Hydra brainwashed Wolverine captured by Shield. With Nick Fury and co. trying to bring Wolvie back to his old self, the alliance of Hydra, the Hand, and the mysterious Gorgon strike (along with the help of the brainwashed Elektra and Northstar), taking out Shield, wounding Fury, and leaving Wolverine in a vengeance driven mood. Millar has really done something special here, weaving a bloody story of Wolverine seeking redemption for what he's done by launching a one man assault on the evil alliance, and the final confrontation between him and the Gorgon is one of the best fights in a modern mainstream comic you'll see today. John Romita Jr. once again provides his solid pencil work, even if it does look a bit messy here and there. All in all, Mark Millar's entire year long run has proven to be one of the best Wovlerine stories in years, and if you dug the first volume, you know you have to pick this up.

In Wolverine Enemy of the State vol. 1, Hydra and the Hand killed a little boy related to Mariko. While Logan was investigating the child's death he was captured and brainwashed, turning him into a brainless, remorseless killer. Then he was unleashed on the Marvel Universe. Though a high cost was paid, Wolverine was finally captured. Shield managed to return him to himself, and Logan swore revenge of Hydra, the Hand, and the Dawn of the White Light. Never before has Wolverine been quite so frightening as in this graphic and it's processor. Seeing him wade into an ocean of ninjas and obliterate them is a beautiful sight to behold. Guest stars include Elektra, Nick Fury, Northstar, Kitty Pryde, Sentinels, and an ocean of villains. Mike Millar is easily one of the best writer in comics today. His stories are unrelenting, brutal, intricate, and exquisite. John Romita Junior has been drawing Wolverine for more than two decades and Elektra for over ten years. His expertise with these characters lends power to the brutal beauty of his line work. While Wolverine Enemy of the State vol. 2 is better having first enjoyed volume one, it can be read alone. It also can be enjoyed by newcomers and seasoned fans alike. Highest recommendations.
