Wolverine Tp Logan

I found the story worked well despite having a pretty strange plot if you take a step back and think about it. It was close to not making sense, but in the end it never left me completely confused. It was amazing to see how Vaughan had crafted the story around Risso's art, in order to compliment his strengths. I think this was extremely cleverly done. It seems clear to me that Vaughan took a step back, and let the art carry the story.

Risso is an awesome artist. The panel layouts are absolutely wonderous. We get vibrant and emotional action sequences throughout the story. I went out and bought 100 bullets purely on the strength of this.

The twist at the end of the first issue was really great. One of the most dissapointing things about the series is that it only touched on the twist, and this felt like a big lost opportunity. I mean, you put Logan in an interesting place during an interesting time period, and squander it. On your first read, however, I found it hardly effected the enjoyment of the book at all.

The characters were intriguing at first, although seemed to waver very slightly towards the end. Once you figured out the story out, the characters seem distant, and it withdraws you from the story slightly. I felt like the fight at the end could have been a bit more tense aswell.

I would say that the book has a low re-readability level. But in flicking through it and observing, you see the writing's poetic, yet grounded characterisation, and the art's energy, and sophisticated storytelling. Not only this, but the way in which they complement each other. The script to issue one, provided in the extras in the back, shows you how Risso takes Vaughan's outlines, and brings a whole new level of interest to it.

It's a good book here, with some interesting extras at the back. Ultimately, in reading this for the first time in this collection, I felt very satisfied.
