“THE ADAMANTIUM MEN” Part 1 (of 5)
In the jungles of Colombia, people are turning up dead, whole villages brutally slaughtered by a team of soldiers who move through the shadows like ghosts. On the streets of San Francisco, Logan learns that the files from the old Weapon X program, the blueprints for building Adamantium-laced super soldiers like himself, have fallen into the hands of the evil corporation, Roxxon. Once again, it seems, someone is looking to build the perfect killing machine. That means it's time for Wolverine to step in, and remind them that someone already did. Plus 8 pages of Director's Cut Extras!
40 PGS.

BONUS REVIEW by Matt Streets - Chicago
Nothing seems to get fanboys salivating more than the word “weapon” followed by an “X” with “Wolverine” thrown somewhere in there. The astute marketing geniuses at Marvel seem aware of this as well, so I guess that’s why we have this umpteenth Wolverine book hitting the stands. At least they gave us two solid creators here, Jason Aaron and Ron Garney, but even they can’t elevate this typical story beyond the usual government conspiracy from Logan’s past coming back to haunt him again, yawn. And for $3.99, I expected more “extras” than some reprinted handbook files and a six-page preview of Aaron’s new Ghost Rider mini-series (which also looks bad). Wolverine fans will enjoy this I guess, I’m sticking with Old Man Logan.
