Book Reviews of Essential Wolverine, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)
Book Review: A lot of Wolverine for a small amount of cash
Summary: 5 Stars
You get the first 23 issues of the Wolverine ongoing series (Vol 1), much of it written by Chris Claremont (Issues 1-8, 10). This series came out when I was in the 5th Grade, and I collected each issue as they came out. I still have most of them horded away in boards and bags in a box, but it's great to have all of the stories in one book that I'm not worried about keeping in mint or near mint condition.
The stories are some of the best Wolvie stories ever told. That sounds like a big claim, but in my opinion it's true. There's a battle with Sabretooth, a story with The Hulk (gray hulk), and some great artwork. The cover of the first issue is one of my favorite Wolvie images ever.
The only downside to the Essential Wolverine is the lack of color. But you could never get 552 pages of color Wolvie for the price of this book. Actually I'm quite surprised this version is as cheap as it is. Compare this to the price of 550 pages worth of other TPBs. Going with the B&W is what makes this affordable.
A must for any Wolvie fan.
