Perhaps at last Wolverine will understand what or who his truly is--and what it means to be...
I haven't talked about a modern comic book on my blog before, I don't have too much to revel with. I do derive more pleasure from Silver and Bronze Age comic books.
But when Rambo creator David Morrell jumps on board Marvel Comics' Savage Wolverine #23 - I'm there! He can write anything, and now he makes his influential mark on comics! Savage Wolverine features stunning art by Jonathan Marks and a terrific Declan Shalvey cover.

| Pages from Savage Wolverine #23! |
 |
| Great artwork! |
The pace is dead even, tense and thoroughly compelling.
Highly Recommended!
I will buy anything new by author David Morrell, based on his name alone. He is by far (close second, James Patterson & his Alex Cross series) my number one favorite author.
 |
| Also made into a great TV movie with Robert Mitchum! |
 |
| David Morrell's first novel! Wow! |
 |
| Great novel from the heart! |
If you haven't read him before, I highly recommend it. The Brotherhood of the Rose, First Blood (his first novel) & Fireflies are a great place to start. He wrote the Captain America: The Chosen mini-series a few years ago, another superb comic book & Amazing Spider-Man #700.1 & #700.2.
 |
| This one still haunts me! |
The brutal loner character is a great fit for Morell's particular skillset. If you want to really experience that side of his novels, read Blood Oath, Testament and Long Lost. I just cannot say enough of his writing expertise.

- Wolverine #1 - #4
- 1987 mini-series.
- The original Chris Claremont & Frank Miller epic!
- Wolverine #1 - #100 (at least #10 for a terrific Sabretooth story)
- 1988 series.
- Lots of important history covered in this series.
- Marvel Comics Presents #1 - #10
- 1988 anthology series.
- Lots of marvelous stories in this series.

| Been reading since Day One! Amazing body of work! |
 |
| Love to see the return of David Mack's Kabuki! |
Some new comic books I recommend:
- Walking Dead from Image Comics. Kirkman's a genius!

- Astro City from Vertigo Comics. Great writing & artwork!
