Review: Savage Wolverine #005

I am totally with this series, 100%. I love Frank Cho's artwork, except for the sexist stuff. (Seriously?) I am, excitingly and boastfully, going to meet him in the all-too distant future at the Boston Comic Con, August 3-4. BUT, this post is not just an advertisement for Frank Cho and Boston Comic Con, this is a review of Savage Wolverine #5.

I don't think it was such a bad idea bringing Hulk to the savage land. It is always a hard task bringing outside characters into a title that they don't belong in. You could say his appearance was a little forced and wasn't much more than a "Hey, look! There's Hulk!" But I will disagree. His time spent in the savage land was much needed as a villain emerges that Logan and Shanna could never handle on their own. This would of course be Swamp-Things' larger cousin Larry, or rather, the Dark Walker. Really no one calls him Larry.

MY NAME ISN'T LARRY!

Sorry for the crappy image.

The ending to Hulks' time in the book was completely WTF. I didn't even understand it; let alone like it.

But Hulk wasn't the only character in this book, you may be aware I bought Savage Wolverine not Savage Hulk. Although that has potential. The other characters really don't do much outside of commentating on the action unfolding in front of them. We get a pretty badass kick out of Shanna, but nothing more. And Wolverine has a pretty sweet stabbing scene too. The dialogue is pretty smooth; especially from Amadeus Cho, a pretty good character. He talks Wolverine out of his normal Snikt-ness, people should learn by know that Wolverine is not the solution to any problems, complicated or not. He is also not the only character in the Marvel Universe but yet somehow manages to show up in more than seven titles monthly. ANYWAYS, (sorry for the tangent) I think this arc wrapped up pretty nicely, introducing a formidable seeming villain at the end, and I hope the next arc won't fail to disappoint  even if it is just Wolverine Team-Ups.
