Savage Wolverine #1

Frank Cho is the writer and artist while Jason Keith provides colors, and it took me a minute and a half to realize this isn’t Cho’s first effort to write. I’ve got his Liberty Meadows collection and still laugh when I read it.

Savage Wolverine was better than I expected. Not good enough that it leaps to the top of my read list or becomes one of my flagged favorites but solid good, none the less. The story takes place in the Savage Land catering to Cho’s strengths as an artist and features Shanna, a beautiful woman in a bikini and dinosaurs. There’s one story point that I wonder.. is it just a missed opportunity as a convenient story tool or supposed to be part of a mystery meant to suck us in. I do have to wonder because the focus of the story kept us away from any mystery and worked towards a different, specific, goal.

I’ll read issue two. It won’t be an excited wait like some other books but I’ll still enjoy it for what it is.
