This book is a collection of four standalone stories featuring Wolverine. The stories come from Wolverine<\/span> #41 and #49, X-Men Unlimited<\/span> #12 and Giant-Size Wolverine<\/span> #1.<\/p>\n

The first story is called The Healing<\/span> and is short at 11 pages. It was written by Stuart Moore and illustrated by C.P. Smith. In it Wolverine is lying recovering from a fight and describing the pain \u2013 mental and physical \u2013 that goes with his healing process and how he copes with it.<\/p>\n

The second story is called The Package<\/span> and is by the same creative team as created the first one. Wolverine has responded to Black Panther\u2019s request for help in extracting a package from a war torn African nation. The package turns out to be the infant daughter of the murdered president and Wolverine must extract her from the country while dodging the insurgents who are looking for her.<\/p>\n

The third story is called House of Blood and Sorrow<\/span> written by David Lapham and illustrated by David Aja. A badly injured Wolverine crash lands near a remote farm house in North Dakota while battling with a Hydra robot. The residents of the farm house \u2013 a father and daughter \u2013 are normally shunned by the local townsfolk but when they become suspicious that they are hiding something a posse is raised and infiltrated by Hydra agents looking for Wolverine.<\/p>\n

The final story is called Better to Give …<\/span> written by Rob Williams and illustrated by Laurence Campbell and Kris Justice. In this one Wolverine is doing some Christmas shopping in a department store in New York at the request of Kitty Pryde. He is trapped in the store when kidnappers dressed as Santa\u2019s elves kidnap an heiress to a fortune. He teams up with one of her bodyguards and proceeds to spoil the plans of the kidnappers.<\/p>\n

Being a collection of one off stories means that this is a mixed bag. All the stories are fine without necessarily achieving excellence. My favourite was probably the third as I like the art of David Aja<\/a> \u2013 last seen by me on the recent revival of Iron Fist. It also has the most interesting story being part superhero story and part creeping horror story. The final story runs it a close second as it has a lot of humour mixed in with the action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
