I decided to go back and read some Wolverine stories. None, besides current run by Tom Taylor featuring Laura as Wolverine, have really impressed me. Finally, I found one that has.

Greg Rucka is one of my favorite writers. He just knows how to write dialog and a interesting story with it. Wolverine is very very solid revenge tale. It starts in a similar fashion you'd expect from Logan. He's a loner. He wants to be left alone. Staying at a little apartment minding his own business. But the whole first issue is actually the point of view of a young waitress with a dark past. It isn't until events later in the issue that lead to a bigger story. By the end we get Wolverine in his raged filled mode we all love.

Good: Love the shit out of the first three issues. Slow-burn but the build up is great. Logan is badass in here. Not over the top, not too many quips, just a man on a mission. Also the art is solid, and the covers are fantastic.

Bad: The ending feels rushed. Also the very ending with the "I'm going to find out what's happening" seemed tacky.

Overall this is great. A Wolverine/Logan story I could really get behind. This is up there with Tom Taylor's current Wolverine run. A 4 out of 5.
