A really different look at the origins of Wolverine. The artist's representation of the character I feel goes a long way in enabling the reader to separate this work from some of the more familiar story lines.

Racist main character was off putting.

Loved, loved, loved it! The only problem I've got is that since it's a collection of an ongoing series, it ends with a giant cliffhanger. It would be nice if the collection held a complete story. Sure, the cliffhanger makes me want to buy the next one, but it also makes me feel like I HAVE to buy the next one. I hate being pushed. Putting that aside though, I like the world and characters that have been crafted here. Solid storytelling.

read in anticipation of the upcoming adaptation, atomic blonde.

the plot felt a little thin, to me. a few twists and turns, sure, but not much meat to it. i absolutely adored the art - the sparse, shadowy very stylistic illustrations were stark and beautiful. but they did make it difficult to keep track of characters (as i kept forgetting names). still, it was an enjoyable and quick read. and i'm looking forward to the film adaptation.
