After comparing the visual and the auditory versions, I choose the podcast version hands down.īut I will bring up one error that the podcast and the graphic novel both had- the name of the other mutant found in Alaska was Wendigo- but 'the wendigo is a mythological man-eating creature or evil spirit from the folklore of the First Nations Algonquian tribes based in the northern forests of Nova Scotia, the East Coast of Canada, and Great Lakes Region of Canada' (Wikipedia) and is not a creature from Alaskan First Nations folklore, so I was annoyed at that name misappropriation. The voice actors were superb as were the sound effects. Not truly fitting in Wolverine's timeline, this story seems like filler, and I would not have been interested if it hadn't been a podcast first.īut the podcast- that was awesome! Marvel put together two seasons about Wolverine, with ten episodes per season. Many of the panels were simplistic, with some faces and background details coming off as blotchy as if there wasn't enough time to sketch or color properly. The art fit the story but didn't stand out, except for the grotesque creature that Hudson became. Not your usual superhero story, this story proved to be more of a murder mystery, with Logan kept on the periphery of the narrative. Special Agents Pierce and Marshall arrive in Burns, Alaska following a string of mysterious deaths and find out there is more to the case than they originally thought. Tell your friends and stay away from his crap.

Not seen too much but totally off-character (he knowingly maims civilians to get to the bad guy!!).Īrt is ok, an honest Charles Adlard rip-off.īenjamin Percy is a hack. The rookie local yokel cop, so plainly dumb you want to slap him. Rich bad guys so ostentatiously evil they could as well print it on their shirts- the very same subtle characterization than in Green Arrow btw. Forget about their motivations, none are given. A sect of bums trying so hard to sound mysterious they’re laughable. The first two issues are very decent, somewhere between Twin Peaks and X-Files but then Percy develops the main argument with his usual lack of subtlety and coherence. His Green Arrow run was by far the worst I’ve read, hysterically overdone and ridiculous and this book is more of the same On my life that’s the last time I’ll ever read a Benny Percy book. Classic tv series episode construction (Feds investigating some events and trying to reconstruct what happened through various testimonies) quite decently done to be honest.įrom a technical pov.
