  It's no surprise that Isanove's art delivers for the story and setting involved. His colors will absolutely take you back to that Origin series as certain pages use that unforgettable orange/yellow palette. Unfortunately many of his faces lose detail and look rushed, which loses some of the emotional impact that the story calls for. There's also plenty of panels within where Isanove chooses to let the colors be the only backgrounds. The final scene could have had a more foreboding feel to it if he chose to fill the backgrounds with the proper set pieces. Sadly, I'm not sure if this story will appeal to the typical Wolverine fan, as there's not a whole lot of Wolverine being "the best there is at what he does". It's a solid tale, but a tale that doesn't necessarily need a Savage Wolverine as its star. Read Full Review

  This issue is actually at its most interesting in the early pages, where Isanove launches into a lengthy flashback detailing the history of the two lead villains. For a while the reader almost forgets this is a Wolverine comic as we watch two boys bond over a mutual love of Houdini and apply his tactics towards murder and intrigue. And maybe the story would have been better off without Wolverine in the picture. Read Full Review
