While hailed as one of the best wolverine stories I found it just decent.

I will say Frank Miller's art really worked for me here at points. The fights, while simple, were easy to follow and looked good. I also think some shots, like wolverine bursting through a building window while fighting ninjas looks absolutely badass. So big kudos to the art department on this one, really worked for me.

The story is simple enough but feels too much like the typical Japanese Samurai honor storyline but instead of a white dude from US being the main hero like in last Samurai, we have a white dude from Canada. It's simple, and not all that compelling to me. I did like the side characters, especially the foil between wolvie and his soon to be wife, but overall it didn't win me over as far as plotting goes. Wasn't bad just okay.

Overall, art is great, story is decent, a 3 out of 5.
