Wolverine: Firebreak
Writers: Mike Carey & Macon BairArtists: Scott Kolins & Vasilis Lolos
So I haven't read or reviewes comics in a month, so it's catch up time. This one-shot was released some time in December and if you have an extra 3.99 to spend, you might want to check out this book for it's main story by Mike Carey and Scott Kolins. Like most of the one-shots in the regular Wolverine series, this one is pretty good, and it told from someone else's point of view. Somewhere in North America there is a wildfire, and a husband and wife are arguing and having marital problems when their little girl spots the fire. They flee, only to find a rabid bear and a blind Wolverine outside their home. Wolverine has to lead them to safety but must rely on them to describe the world around him. They stumble across a Hydra cell, some explosives and madness insues in what is a pretty good story. Scott Kolins does a good job on the art and his Wolverine is rough and rugged, as well as injured.
The second story is kind of a throw away, it deals with Wolverine having to save some kid from some group. The fight is good, and the art by Vasilis Lolos is cool, if you like that scratchy Paul Pope style. So all in all, this was not a bad book to pick up, whether you had the extra money or not. You might not love it, but you won't hate it like you did One More Day. B-
