The feral X-Man fights along in four standalone stories In The Package, Logan must escape from an army of savage killers Deep in the heart of war-torn Africa - with a baby strapped to his chest The infant daughter of an overthrown monarch is the only hope for a country's future, and the conquering warlord is determined to see her dead. Can Wolverine get her to the border alive? Or will his greatest failure doom an entire nation? In Better To Give, a heavily armed suicide cult - clad in elf outfits - has taken hostage a mid-Manhattan department store on Christmas Eve and is threatening to blow the place sky high. Among the shoppers: Logan, who's just itching to sink his claws into someone after enduring the Yuletide rush. Should be easy for a damn-near invulnerable force of nature to save the day, right? Think again. All is not as it seems, as a spoiled billionaire's daughter is about to find out, and the true meaning of Christmas will be spelt out... in blood. In The House of Blood and Sorrow, Wolverine lies at the edge of death in a rural Nebraska cornfield after crashing to Earth in the wake of a clash with a giant robot at the edge of the atmosphere, lapsing in and out of a coma as his body desperately tries to heal. And that's when things really get bad. The men who sent the robot to destroy Wolverine have come to finish the job. The townsfolk who witnessed the crash have gathered up a mob to hunt down and destroy the alien that's landed. And Wolverine's fate just might rest in the hands of the strange little girl who first found him in that dark cornfield. A strange little girl with an affinity for taking care of odd creatures - and whose family holds a deep, dark secret hidden from the light of day. And in "The Healing," Logan lies gutted in a Northwest forest, surrounded by wolves and clinging onto hope and sanity as his body goes about the complicated work of repairing itself. It's not as easy as you might think.

This was great. The pacing, art, and plot were all pitch perfect.

Pretty lame grab bag of stuff.

Plot holes/problems:1. How did the baby on wolverines chest not get shot when he ran straight into volleys of bullets?2. How did Logan know that the one bomb that he cut the wire on was fake?3. Why was the bomb jacket on a timer and not just detonated immediately?

Do you want to read a collection of Wolverine stories which are mediocre in terms of story and art? You've come to the right place.This collection sucks. Four absolutely unremarkable short stories where Logan contemplates his pain, ethics, and inner berserker.Me too. Skip.

Continuing the great X-read of 2017 that has now stretched into 2018...Okay. So I am way behind on reviewing these x-books that I have been reading. So I am going to just kind of ramble about all of them and copy/paste my thoughts. Which will make for a bit of a mess and I am sorry. Quick ramblings:Cable and Deadpool continues to be surprisingly good though a little more scattered in these couple of volumes.X-Men the Blood of Apocalypse was rushed in my opinion...Phoenix Warsong was pretty decen...

Después tengo que corroborar si leí todos y cada uno de los números que componen este tomo. El de la portada seguro que sí, y hay altas probabilidades de que muchos de los otros también. Cuando lo corrobore veré.

It was alright, I liked Evolution better. The art was better in Evolution and the story arc more connected.

Mam spory zgryz z oceną tej antologii, złożonej z czterech tak różnych opowiadań, bowiem na dobrą sprawę całkowicie podobało mi się tylko jedno z nich...Ranny Wolverine składa swoje wnętrzności, leżąc na śniegu gdzieś w górach. Szkopuł w tym, że obok zebrała się wataha wilków, która czyta tylko aż ofiara wyzionie ducha. Nie tym razem, ale jest miejsce na wewnętrzne przemyślenia oraz dywagacje nad czynnikiem gojącym. Kreska nie zachwyca, a opowiadanie jest... zbędne. Nic nie wnosi ponadto co doty...

An excellent collection:The Healing - great art, but not much to the story. Some insight into Wolverine's psychology, but nothing really new.House of Blood and Sorrow - great, creepy story with really fitting, moody art. Excellent.The Package - another one where the story and art are both great, and fit together well. Wolverine running through a war zone with a baby strapped to his chest: LOL.Better to Give - good-but-not-great all the way around. Entertaining enough, and it does have an excelle...

Very good. Particularly liked "The Package". My favorite Super of all time for sure.
