Marvel Classic Novels - Wolverine: Weapon X Omnibus

After a post office mishap I received it. The book was packaged nicely and came in excellent condition. Seller responded fast with shipping problem I had, which was great. Great set of books as well. Read them some time ago and will enjoy reading them again.

This is an omnibus comprised of 3 novels featuring Wolverine. The first one is based on Wolverine's origin story from the comics. It's extremely well written and the cool thing is that Wolverine is seen almost entirely from the perspective of the scientists working on him. He basically becomes the "monster" of the story. The second is an original novel inspired by the comics where Wolverine must stop the production of a a supposed miracle drug. Engaging storyline, fun side characters, and great set pieces. It has some extremely brutal sequences that may not be appropriate for kids however. The third novel, and the reason why I'm docking 2 stars from the review, is not very good. It's got an awesome premise of seeing parts of World War 2 through Wolverine's eyes, but it's just not interesting at all. It's set in the present and past. Present Logan is a wandering amnesiac, while past Logan is on a very pedantic mission (and has a terribly silly nickname). Underwhelming ending too, the story just stops, it doesn't conclude.

This is not a book full of different stories( omnibus). It is one big chapter book

In super excited to read this! Love Wolverine. However, I am a bit disappointed because I went out of my way to buy a brand new mint one instead of one of the taunting “new, like used” ones when they were way cheaper. The book still came damaged. Nothing too bad, but I still would’ve definitely preferred it to be mint. The edges are worn, some of the spine peeled, and there’s a crease. :(
