fajrdrako: ([Comics] - X-Men)


Wolverine Prodigal Son is a story about Wolverine, but it isn't Marvel. It's a manga put out by Del Rey, by Anthony Johnston and Wilson Tortosa. Logan has a healing factor, and claws, but no adamantian skeleton and the word 'mutant' is never used. Logan isn't a tough old soldier, he's a brash teen in a Canadian martial arts boarding school. (Cool idea.) He's fourteen years old, and pretty. He has attitude. They got that part right.

And a lot of the theme, as with many Wolverine stories, was about identity, and finding the honourable path. I particularly liked the chapter in which Wolverine has to take a dripping bowl of water to the heart of a redwood tree.

It isn't X-Men, but it's fun.

I don't really like the tone of this video, and I don't buy the 'tiny place' cliché, but the content is terrific.

I like to think of Captain Jack's little Chula chip, chugging out there among the galaxies. And the TARDIS flitting around the millennia.
