Great writing, decent art April 20, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I've made a point of collecting the entire Civil War line of books involved in Marvel's big event, and this was one of the better crossovers. Guggenheim writes a fantastic Wolverine, with a dark sense of humour, tendency to ignore politics when they disagree with his ethics, and a willingness to cross lines most heroes won't cross. My only complaint about this set is Ramos' style of art. Ramos has great composition and storytelling instincts, but he's got an exaggerated, somewhat goofy style that I associate with work aimed at the 6-10 year old set. He'd be a great fit for some goofy, surreal comedic title, but I found his work out of place on a story this serious. Still, the complete package is worthwhile, as this is the one place in the whole Civil War landscape that reveals the fate of the person who really triggered the Stamford disaster that kicked off the entire event.

One of the better Civil War tie-ins May 18, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

As the Civil War strikes every facet of the Marvel universe, most of the X-Men have been sitting on the sidelines. Though futuristic mutants Cable and Bishop have chosen sides, most of the other X-Men have their own drama to deal with, particularly Wolverine. In his Civil War tie-in, Wolverine goes on the hunt for Nitro; the super villain responsible for the Stamford tragedy that ignited the superhero registration act. On the road and looking to take him down, Wolverine uncovers some secrets and gets much more than he bargained for. Writer Marc Guggenheim offers up a familiar take on Marvel's most popular mutant, but it works here as he presents a Wolverine out for blood. The only real downside of Civil War: Wolverine is the art by Humberto Ramos. While not bad one bit, his style is so cartoony that it really doesn't fit the tone set by Guggenheim or the overall tone of the Civil War story as a whole. Other than that though, Civil War: Wolverine ends up being one of the better Civil War tie-ins, and should be checked out by readers who want an expanded look at Mark Millar's story.

WHY DO THIS STORY LINE, WHEN IT WON'T STICK YEARS DOWN THE ROAD? FOR MONEY NOW.... June 29, 2007
6 out of 27 found this review helpful

Sounds like an interesting story plot. Sounds like an interesting direction. Too bad though that Marvel had to make this such an expansive cross over. Personally, I would have liked one book, one story line, one long running series of this as a possible "Future Event", like X-Men # 141-142 "Days of Future Past".
OK. So I'm old school. I DON'T like MAJOR MULTI-ISSUE cross overs. But not something that tears apart every team or charactor that we care about, and leaves a MESS in the end.
So by this, no more Fantastic Four. No more "True" AVENGERS. Spider-Man is screwed up. A Marvel ICON is left dead. And in my opinion, it was done to SELL BOOKS.
EVEN MORE SO IT DOESN'T MATTER! Because in a few years, they'll start the charactors with new beginnings or origins ALL OVER AGAIN.
THESE ARE COMICS. HOW MANY TIMES HAS THIS HAPPENED ALREADY???
Only problem with this whole thing, is that there are too many books, too may cross overs, and for those who collect comics, six months of having to buy EVERY Marvel comic put out to get the real story. And I'd imagine it was pretty expensive, just like if I decided to buy/collect EVERY CW TPB tie-in book. There are just too many.
I may end up buying the COMPLETE story line in 5-10 years IF this storyline and ramifications from all this still have an impact. It is an interesting idea. MIXED REVIEWS from everyone THOUGH.
Mine is, don't bother.
Until Marvel decides this is the way it's going to be and STICK TO IT FROM HERE ON OUT!
It's just a shame that it had to be done in such a manner that you have to buy 20 some different books and titls (to increase the sales of the ones doing poorly) to understand it all, everyone's side, and what the heck is going on. Marvel should have kept it in ONE(!!1!!) book, even if they'd have to do it in an expanded COMIC version, using various titles writers/artists to do their story lines, and left out the cross over books. Maybe have had published a new story/comic every week since everyone would have been collaborating. Makes more sense numbering Civil Wars # 1 - 150 (OR WHATEVER) if needed, but left out the cross overs.
As you can tell, corss overs are my BIGGEST complaint. I HATE them. They seem like they try to raise sales by being cross overed in comics who's sales are lagging.
I dunno'. This is alot to grasp. I'm old school. I think I'd rather buy Marvel Masterworks reprints, then this new stuff. Not as complicated.
And besides that, we all know, that somewhere, some time down the road, they'll RE-START the series and charactors again (for the umpteenth dozenth MILLIONTH time) and things will go back to normal. I mean, Aunt May died in the Amazing Spider-Man # 250 or 350 ( One or the other, I'm not going to pull it to be exact. ), yet, she's been back for quite a while. As happened a long time ago in Ultimate Spiderman.
So this is a big PUT-OFF to me.
Reason: No matter how bad Marvel screws this up, and does this or does that, they can, and usually DO, start all over again ( just like DC has TOO MANY TIMES WITH THEIR CHARACTORS ) from scratch, from the beginning, with everyone ALL with a clean slate.
So what is the point of getting excited or involved with this knowing that in a few years, there will be a new origin or something, for all the heroes and teams, or that it happened in an Alternate Universe, and this most likely will be forgotten by the heroes, kept in a Parallel Universe, or something along those lines???
~Yawn~
Which has happened too many times in comics period. Kind of ruins them and their credibility.
So 5-10 years down the line, if this story line is still the direction Marvel is going, and hasn't turned back, and ramifications are still being dealt with, then maybe it would be worth it. Maybe it will be a classice worthy of buying EVERY cross over for my Personal Collection.
But I don't see it happening.
Old schoolers like me think of the Avengers as Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America.
And the FANTASTIC FOUR SPLITTING UP??? C'mon. Give me a break.
So much for a FF 3 movie.
Seems like too many books, too much money, and (probably) not enough conviction by Marvel to keep this storyline alive forever, and make it the way things are, were, should be (because they wrote this story line), and will be a mainsty for the future of the Marvel Universe.
But it ain't gonna happen.
Just a story, yes. But does it make any sense if it's passed over and not a factor years down the road?
Not to me.
At least they didn't butcher the X-Men. They left them out of it pretty much. Smart move. Don't trash your best selling book.
But it's only a matter of time, before Peter Parker goes back to being Spider-Man w/o J Jonah Jamison knowing his identity, Aunt May not having a clue, and SOMEONE changing the Marvel Universe to where the Civil War NEVER happened and everyone's minds are wiped clean of the events, and life goes on as we knew it.
Interesting story line, true. Just should not have been so drastic with too many cross overs, and so many books done for (PROBABLY) NOTHING.

All in the name of making MONEY for MARVEL....

I'd rather stick to the "CLASSICS" Marvel books, like Marvel Masterworks. And if this turns out to be a classic and impact story line on the future of Marvel comics in 5 - 10 years, then I'll have to buy it. But not now.

CLASSICS ARE ONLY GOOD IF THEY STAND THE TEST OF TIME AND REMAIN A PART OF MARVEL LORE FOREVER.

Dang. Imagine if Stan Lee and Joe Kirby took back some of their work 5 years after doing it. Thank goodness, they had the common sense not to do or try something like this.
No wonder Stan left Marvel for Disney....
Smart move Stan!!!
Too bad most of the charactors you created are hurt by this. It is a shame...

I gave this 2 stars (HIGHEST RATING I've given any of these books) for the ARTWORK. AWESOME!!! Too bad the story line screwed it up, or I would have rated it higher. I mean, c'mon. Wolverine in an Iron Man get up???
The art saved it from getting a ONE STAR in my opinion.

wolvie is decent crossover shocker September 26, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

part of the civil war cross over this story is wolverine going on a vendetta to trackdown and deal with nitro, the writing is done well by Mr. Guggenheim and the art is done brilliantly by Mr. Ramos, most of the other reviews are right about the writing but wrong on the art the other reviewers must be the kind of comic nerds that love the sleep inducing art of Cassaday, Hitch and Finch the most over rated bunch in comics, Ramos's style is cartoony, but wolverine isn't a realistic character so why draw him in a hyper realistic style, he's a five foot guy with a napolean complex, a metal skeleton, claws and a bright yellow jumpsuit. the story is good and unlike the main civil war has a decent ending.
