A long time ago he was known as 'Wolverine' but not anymore... Nowadays all he wants to do is pay the rent and take care of his family. He doesn't want to be a superhero. If only the rest of the world was prepared to let him be. Too bad that's not going to happen. Basically: it's 'Unforgiven' with added "Snikt!" An apocalyptic western set in the wreckage of the Marvel Universe. Thrilling and inventive - with wild situations and outlandish scenarios to please and tickle even the most jaded superhero fan. With nice clear artwork from Steve McNiven and Mark Miller obviously having the time of his life with nice little cool conceits - I particularly liked what he does with Thor's hammer.
