Absolute mess, scantily clad characters little storyline and just plain bad.
Good: Art is good and the story itself is a little entertaining, mostly for Shanna the She-Devil being a badass.Bad: Humor at the expense of the native tribesman vs more advanced Westerners. Plus, while the men are generally average/ugly looking, the women are all tall, gorgeous, and pretty much there to be tits and ass in barely-there animal skin bikinis. The majority of the women-other-than-Shanna that are present are used for a brief gag where they are "gifts" for Amadeus' sexual gratificatio...
Wolverine is stuck on an island in the prehistoric-style Savage Land, where he gorily kills lots of local tribesmen even though it's clear from early on that they're not bad guys. There's no comeback on that; when he finally fucks up enough to release the monster they're guarding, rather than contrition, we get a conclusion which sets up a deeply generic cosmic devourer story I suspect will never appear. Amadeus Cho turns up, nothing like any version of the character I've seen before, because th...
Wolverine is deposited in the Savage land with no warning or reason. A Shield mission has also been sent to map a strange island there.This is a fun adventure with dinosaurs. What you would expect from a savage land story.A good read.
A so-so story arc with Wolverine in the Savage Land (where he has been many times). Lots of violence and surprise, no Ka-Zar! It does feature Shenna. Not really crazy about the new Hulk being involved. And the story arc ended on a ? Is there any interest in finding out more. I took a gamble from Comixology Unlimited. It was worth a read, but nothing to write home about.
Cripes, this one was a stinker! Why the hell is it damn near impossible to find a decent Wolverine book these days?! How about this for pointless: Wolverine shows up for no reason on an island in the Savage Land along with Shanna the She-Devil, they fight a bunch of dinosaurs and some apes, Hulk shows up for no reason at the end, and a giant alien blasts off into space, the end. Cripes, what rubbish! The story is practically irrelevant as this book is basically a showcase for Frank Cho’s art. It...
What are Wolverine, Shanna, Amadeus Cho, and The Hulk doing in the Savage Land with a Cthulu alien? I don't know, and neither will you after finishing this book! This one is as goofy as they come, and the plot makes no sense, but it was actually kind of fun. Cho's art is incredible, and there are some funny moments worked into the other-wise center of the road script. There are some rad dinosaur fights, lots of almost tasteful cheesecake, and fun cameos all tossing around in what is otherwise a
3.75 stars. While this might not have been the best story in the world, it was certainly fun as hell. Wolverine finds himself awakening in the Savage land. Learns that Shanna the She-Devil was helping some SHIELD agents survey and map out the Savage Land and they got too close to this monster shaped mountain and their ship went haywire and crashed. Now no one can get a signal out for a rescue due to the dampening signal coming from the mountain. Amadeus finds himself on the island as well and us...

The only reason for this book to exist is for Wolverine to stab dinosaurs, cave men, and giant gorillas. And honestly, that’s enough. Sometimes you just need to watch some of the ol’ ultraviolence perpetrated upon some droogs, and that’s what you get here. Anyone looking for something more substantial should look elsewhere.Guest-starring Shanna the She-Devil, Amadeus Cho and one very angry Hulk.This page here? Yeah, that’s the whole book. And I’m here for it.
This one was hard to rate for me. Overall I've been disappointed with most Wolverine stories from the past few years. The art was great Frank Cho as always, and his Shanna the She Devil never gets boring. (Me-ow!) But the story was...out there.We start off with Shanna and SHIELD on this island, okay. The island has dinos, cavemen, and a dampening field that stops technology. Between that the monsters its inescapable But then Wolverine, Amadeus Cho, and the Hulk all show up and we aren't really t...
Frank Cho's five-issue arc which launched the Savage Wolverine title is kind of a mixed bag. It's been trashed by fanboys and pseudo-critics but I actually enjoyed this book.True, it served more of a showcase for Cho's beautiful art. The story isn't this story's strongest suit. There's barely a plot, the molasses plotting and the ending that isn't an ending. But the Cho's really tried to give it a pulp flavor and it shows, especially in the covers letters page design.Really though, this is more
Not bad. Kinda fun in a turn your brain off kind of way.
This gets three stars for being socially insensitive in some ways that should be so glaring I refuse to put energy into explaining, but I did enjoy it at a five star level. While some of Wolverine's narration felt choppy to read, the rest of the writing and dialogue flowed decently at a pace that was quick but not so rushed it felt confusing.Amadeus is one of my favorite Marvel characters and I was glad he had a fairly big part in these five issues, even though it is a Wolverine series. I usuall...
Apparently people aren't too fond of Savage Wolverine -- at least around these parts -- but I am not one of them. I am a definite fan, and here's why: • Wolverine -- The angry Canadian killing machine isn't my favoritist character, he might not even be in my top five, but I do like him a lot, bordering on love (okay ... I love him), and anytime he can cut loose with those claws of his, I am on board for the cleaving. Cho makes great use of the Savage Land as a place for Wolvie to unleash the bea...
1. If you don't like scantily-clad women in your comics, do not read this. You won't like it, I'm telling you now, just don't do it because it will only make you mad. I'm really not in the mood to defend or condemn this practice right now, so if you hate that shit, just don't even bother opening the cover on this one. If mostly feel unphased by it, you'll be fine. If you *gasp* like it, then you should probably go read HuffPo or something but not really and we should totally hang out.2. I kinda
A mixed bag wolverine story for sure.... CRIPES! Frank Cho has some serious art skills, ummmmmm hi Shanna. Wolverine is drawn very well but his writing is pretty lame. The story has a cool premise surrounding a mystery on the savage land but what unfolds is not very good. I assume this is all setup for bigger things but if after 5 issues I wasnt sold.
This is undoubtedly one of Cho's most lackluster arcs. I must admit that for the first couple of issues I was pretty intrigued, but then it just got... terrible. The cameos from other SHIELD agents were just meh, especially Hulk's. The last issue of the 5 was nothing short of laughable, and I have since dropped the title altogether.In my eyes the only redeeming quality in this release is Cho's art, which is, truthfully, pretty astonishing in places. I particularly like the way he draws Shanna.I
What I can say about this boobs is that Frank Cho likes boobs there are so many boobs and butts and boobs in this boobs that PAGING DOCTOR FREUD ALREADY!I'm sure there was a story here, but mainly it was lost. Wolverine and others show up in the Savage Land for no apparent reason and have lots of fights with animals and people whilst trying to escape. That's ... it. And boobs. Lots and lots of Frank Cho's version of ideal women, who are all well muscled, have flat stomachs, and size G and H boob...
This first volume of Savage Wolverine is like a sugary dessert: it’s delightful, but as a “meal,” it’s completely insubstantial. That said, if it’s dessert you want, it doesn’t get any more decadently self-indulgent than Savage Wolverine.This book gives writer/artist Frank Cho the perfect venue in which to write and draw all the things Frank Cho enjoys writing and drawing. You’ll see dinosaurs; giant gorillas; double-page spreads of Wolverine killing dozens of savage ape men; and the wildly-curv...
