Marvel Knights - Logan, By: Brian K. Vaughan

Issue two you say? Well yes that's correct this is issue two that I'm reviewing because more than likely you didn't get to read issue one because it was under ordered and quite popular, or hey screw you I didn't feel like writing anything for issue one because I for one felt like nothing happened in the issue to warrant a review.

As for issue two though? Let's say the story takes a mighty leap forward from the first issue which was fine because the first issue was just laying the foundation that the next two issues would take place in. Vaughn also adds history to Logan's character (Even if Marvel can't make up their mind about whether or not Wolvie was in Germany, Russia or Japan during WWII) that adds a great deal of depth to the story. Even though the third issue is sure to be mostly fighting a seemingly unstoppable character, the issue should tie up the mini nicely and add yet another successful check mark on Marvel's Knight Line which has become mini series telling the stories in-between the events that made them the people they are. The art is also very fitting and the colorist does a great job of bringing the book to life. My comic shop guy said it best when he called the artist Frank Miller junior. I would definitely say that he's doing his best to homage Miller and Claremont's six issue series from the 80's. All in all it's a very good book but it would probably be easier to read and find in trade paper back form.
