Wolverine By Claremont & Miller: Deluxe Edition (Wolverine; A Marvel Comics Limited)

It took me way too long to get to this Claremont and Miller yarn, but late is better than never.Excellent art, excellent story.The deluxe edition comes with two X-Men stories that follow the Wolverine solo title.Worth your time and money!

I've been a fan of Wolverine since I was a little kid and never got to read the original mini-series as it's FAR out of my price range. This reprint, with some extra related content is perfect for the Wolverine fan that doesn't want to spend their life savings to read 4 issues! It's a great story and I'm so excited to finally have it!

I love this older comic reprints. Great quality and artwork you do not see any longer in comics. Great for real comic fans such as myself. It is a must have for Logan fans.

Just as I remembered. Worth the price.Great read for those new to wolverine or collectors to replace a lost memory

I am not going to lie, I've read this graphic novel before. About three or four years ago when the 2013 Wolverine film was released, where Hugh Jackman's Wolverine dominated the summer box office as it was bad-ass good (before the release of Logan dominated the box-office this year in a big way), this where the film got its source like all the other famous X-Men storylines. For any Wolverine fans, you are in for a treat. Like the 2013 film, Wolverine travels to Japan but for a different purpose. Also, FRANK MILLER, the artist/writer of DAREDEVIL, continues what he does best: ninja and samurai action. His famous ninja clan The Hand clash with the ultimate mutant who is the best there is at what he does and what he does isn't very nice. Clearly this is [Chris] Claremont treating Wolverine to be a Western samurai tale, and who can blame him. It is also a tale of what makes Wolverine take on a bushido code: "Is Logan a man or a beast?". The story is solid and the art was perfect. Claremont and Miller make a perfect team. If you are a fan of X-Men/Wolverine or a fan of ninjas, this book is definitely for you.

This book is beyond amazing and I Love It!!!!
