The Savage Wolverine #1

THE SAVAGE WOLVERINE #1

by Frank Cho

So, how did Frank Cho do with his writing debut? Is it anything to lose your head over (Whoever read the book will get the joke)? 

It's nice to see the book actually live up to its title. The action in the book is very fast and bloody, like something out of a summer blockbuster. However, Cho's writing leaves quite a bit to be desired. His characterization of Wolverine is overwritten, and his inner monologue makes him sound more like a barber. I felt his handling of Shanna to be too lifeless and boring, and leaves quite a few plot holes. Despite all this, I still enjoyed reading this, like a bad B-movie.

Cho's art has always been his strong suit, and it's always nice to see him tackling an X-Men book. He makes the art pop right off the page, and makes the action incredibly entertaining. 

The Savage Wolverine #1 is pure mindless fun. Check your brain in at the door, and get ready for one wild ride, despite how bad the writing can get. 

STORY: 2/5
