I’ve seen some cheesy lookking Wolverine comics but not this one. But, what I love most is that the artist didn’t just capture Alaska, they captured the dark pits of Alaska, they made me afraid of what could be hiding beneath the surface. I think the artists nailed Wolverine and even the beautiful scenery of Alaska. His eyes are like black voids, just how I would imagine his would look after all the destruction he’s witnessed and caused. The mixture of purples, reds, and blacks look amazing on Wolverine. It gives it a sinister edge that you need for a graphic novel with this tone. Look at the detail in that mans face! I also love how they use black space to fill in the picture. I will say that I love the style the comics are drawn in. Part of why I enjoy Wolverine is because he gets into a lot of action and it makes him the ultimate anti-hero, and that’s not something you want to experience secondhand. I want to be there and sometimes it doesn’t feel that way. I liked the unique approach and how we get to see Wolverine from an outside perspective, but it makes a lot of the action feel secondhand. You aren’t following Wolverine, you’re following Weapon-X agents as they trail him. But, The Long Night stands out to me because the approach is different. I believe that the authors who write Wolverine comics must be passionate about him because it’s rare to find one that’s not enjoyable. It creates this air of mystery that Wolverine shrouds himself in and it works so well for his character. There is something about the amount of murder in Alaska that seems like it would call out to Wolverine, and it does. It’s dark and dangerous, Alaska is the perfect place for Wolverine to start over again. The backdrop of Alaska is the perfect setting for a Wolverine comic. I listened to the podcast a few years ago and fell in love. They soon find there’s more going on than meets the eye… Marvel’s hit scripted podcast, “Wolverine: The Dark Night,” comes to life on the page! Chilling twists and turns, brought to you by the original author of the podcast, Benjamin Percy, and the art talents of Marcio Takara! Following a string of mysterious deaths in Burns, Alaska, Special Agents Sally Pierce and Tad Marshall arrive to investigate.
