Lobezno: Arma X by Barry Windsor-Smith
4.0

Probably one of the highest rated Wolverine stories, and glad I finally got a chance to read.

This is a very dark, fucked up, look into the days inside weapon X for Logan. We waste no time with him being tested on within the first 25 pages of the book. Kidnapped and used, crafted into the ultimate weapon, Logan undergoes some of the most horrible things humans can do to each other. Treat them as nothing more than a means to a end.

Logan's trauma is played out well here, giving characters a more human look into things. There's no over the top evil warlord, it's just people being awful, and there's plenty of real life people just like that sadly. This leads to a more realistic take than I expected, and the violence shocking and brutal when happening.

I'd say sometimes was hard to follow the dialogue, seems all over the place in placement at times. Maybe to make you feel like logan but I didn't love that.

But overall very much worth reading, especially if you're a Logan fan. A 4 out of 5.
