![]() This is brutal story featuring bullets, explosions and flipping cars, and it’s all masterfully brought to life by artist Juan Ferreyra, whose pencils, inks and colors give the story a realistic, almost painted feeling, somewhat reminiscent of artist Mike Mayhew’s comics work. The second half of this trade paperback is a complete 180 in tone, as we go from jungle action to a grounded, action-packed revenge story centered around Bullseye’s murderous acts. It’s always fun to see Marvel characters trying to stay alive in the Savage Land’s prehistoric jungle, and you can tell Manna’s having a blast illustrating it all, including dinosaurs and, of course, Ka-Zar and Zabu. I especially enjoyed the dynamic between the arrogant and delusional Kraven and Logan, who has zero patience for the hunter’s whole schtick. While I’m a bit tired of Kraven hunting heroes who aren’t Spidey (wasn’t he just hunting Captain America in writer Mark Waid’s most recent run?), Brisson and artist Francesco Manna manage to deliver a fun two-issue arc in the Savage Land. This isn’t a Spider-Man or Daredevil book, so what are these guys doing here? It doesn’t really matter, because throwing them into Old Man Logan’s world just makes for fresh stories. But one day an old friend shows up to ask a favor of him. ![]() I mean, just look at this collection’s two main adversaries–Kraven the Hunter and Bullseye. Collects Wolverine (2003) 66-72 and Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size. ![]()
